Bare knuckle fighter Matthew Morton joins Front Porch Chronicles for a raw conversation about childhood trauma, addiction, recovery, and finding healing through ayahuasca. This episode explores the mental battles fighters rarely talk about, the weight of unprocessed pain, and what happens when you finally face it. Matthew shares his journey from survival mode to purpose — and how plant medicine helped him reconnect with himself and his future. Special thanks to La Wayra Retreat (run by Sam Believ) and Athletes Journey Home (founded by Ian McCall and assisted by Mark “The Shark” Irwin) for creating this groundbreaking MMA ayahuasca retreat and supporting fighter healing beyond the cage. A story about pain, brotherhood, and transformation.
