The inaugural episode of our NEW Faceoff series.  As opposed to our longer format podcasts, in this series, we’re going to have short conversations with fighters, coaches, promoters, matchmakers, and anyone else involved in the fight game and the fight sport universe.

I’m beyond excited to announce that our first guest is none other than Nate Shook!  Nate Shook is the matchmaker for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and the owner and matchmaker for the Toe the Line Fight series – that series is akin to what Dana White’s Contender series does with the UFC.  Nate and I discuss the spectacular rise of BKFC and bare-knuckle boxing, the new Toe the Line Fight Series, and what to expect at BKFC 14, coming up on Friday, November 13th, from Miami, Florida.
