The Zach and Pat Show

LIFE LONG LEARNER: Kyle Watson's Journey Through the Ultimate Fighter, UFC, and BJJ DOMINANCE in STL


Listen Later

In today's episode Zach and Pat are joined by a very special guest - Kyle Watson! Kyle is the head of Watson Martial Arts as well as the coach of both hosts (as well as producer Murph when he is home) and has had a prolific career in combat sports early in life and one of the top rated bjj schools in the midwest here and now. Kyle's journey takes us through his early days starting martial arts as a kid with no sports background, his upbringing coaching under UFC great Matt Hughes HIT Squad, bringing humor to the Ultimate Fighter, his six fights in the UFC, and now life as a father/husband, real estate investor, and one of the central figures in the bjj collective known as TAC TEAM. This is actually the second time we sat down with Kyle after some technical difficulties early in the show's history so this episode means THE WORLD to us. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
