I Had 1 Year to Live. So I Starved the Cancer to Death
Get ready for a knockout episode. This week, the boys sit down with UFC veteran Mike Swick, a fighter, entrepreneur, and absolute savage who built one of the world’s most iconic fight gyms, AKA Thailand, deep in the jungle of Phuket. But before that, Mike faced the fight of his life: Stage 4 cancer. Two weeks with no food. One shot to survive.
In this raw, no-holds-barred conversation, Mike opens up about his insane battle with cancer, the brutal fasting protocol he followed, and why he turned away from the advice of doctors to take control of his own survival. This is what it looks like when a real fighter refuses to tap out.
From the early days of the UFC to free-diving with Dan Bilzerian to building a literal fight empire from five trees and dirt, Mike’s story is wild, inspiring, and one you’ll never forget. Hit play and get a glimpse into the extraordinary life of a man who refuses to back down. UFC legend Mike Swick.
