On this very special edition of Focus Fights Audio, “Da Chillmeister” Chris Gary talks with Current UFC Fighter & Houston, Texas based Media Maven Mike “The Truth” Jackson (2-1, not 1-1 w/1 NC) about a number of topics. Namely, the aftermath from the Dean Barry fight, how serious Dean Barry supposedly took the fight, his thoughts on who his next opponent might be & is the UFC the be-all end-all anymore.

Chris & Mike’s thoughts are of theirs & theirs alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of Focus Fights, iHeartMedia, the UFC/Endeavor Group Holdings Inc. or any entities mentioned in whole or in part for fear of lost opportunities in the present or future.

With a little over 24 Hours Away from possibly the biggest fight of his career, Former 2 Fight HBO Boxing Veteran & former New York Golden Gloves Alum Cletus “The Hebrew Hammer” Seldin spoke with our own “Chillmeister” Chris Gary about not just his upcoming fight with Brazilian William “Babyface” Silva tomorrow night (Oct. 15th) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, USA, but about why the HBO Stint didn’t work out, his thoughts on the current Activist Athlete movement, the possibility of fighting outside of North America or for bigger opportunities & his love of collecting Funko Pops and how Netflix reached out to him for a documentary. It was actually a pretty intriguing story & one we hope you'll enjoy.

Cletus will be in the Main Event of the upcoming TRILLER FIGHT CLUB III Card taking on Brazilian William "Babyface" Silva for the WBA-NABA Super Lightweight Championship! Be sure to check that event Tomorrow Night at 7 PM Eastern/4 PM Pacific out on FITE.TV & the FITE App available for iOS & Android!
