On this week's episode of "Inside the Hexagon," we chat with American Kickboxing Academy Founder Javier Mendez. One of the greatest trainers in MMA history, Mendez has coached fighters such as Daniel Cormier, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Cain Velasquez, Luke Rockhold, Cung Le, Frank Shamrock, and so many more. We discuss Javier's kickboxing career, his relationship with Scott Coker, training Frank Shamrock, the early days of Strikeforce, Cain Velasquez's first MMA fight, and more. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, and connect with us on Instagram and Twitter...@InsidetheHexagonPod.
