Hello, Fight Fans! Michael Hernandez of MLH Media and Valley Fight News and the long-awaited podcast episode with Marc De La Cruz, former MMA fighter and current owner of Vitruvian Martial Arts in his hometown of Visalia, California.
For the first round of today's Podcast, we talk the upcoming UFC 290 event and some upcoming predictions that I have for the matchups.
In the second round for today's podcast, we now talk about his gym and some of his students underneath his umbrella (Jennah Creason, Mariano Aldana, Steve Ramirez, etc.), his background in MMA, and how he originally got into the sport. Not only does he give advice to future BJJ students but also to black belts that are continuing on their journey in Jiu Jitsu. All in all, this is a cannot miss episode and I hope you enjoy sitting down and listening to Marc as much as I did!
My apologies for the audio quality, by the way, my mic cut out halfway through the podcast but I still wanted to publish this piece!
