Ep 241 John Dixson Career Deep Dive

John Dixson comes to us from Mississippi and is a veteran of international No Holds Barred competitions. John Dixson has fought some incredible names, Carlos Barreto, Igor Vovchancyn, Andrei Arlovski, Remco Pardoel and Jeremy Horn to name a few.

John Dixson fought in the "Outlaw Era" of Mixed Martial Arts and is one of the few Americans that had intimate dealings with mafia goops from 4 different countries. This is a wild listen, I suggest that you sit back and take this one in.

Special thank you to Preston Thigpen for helping make this episode happen.
