Chris Lytle and his #LytesOut crew are on hallowed MMA ground for this one as UFC founder Art Davie visited for one of our patented #DEEPDIVE interviews.

One of the founders and creators of the Ultimate Fighting Championships, Art takes us through the hectic months prior to UFC 1 on November 12, 1993. A lot of thought went into the modern "Kumite." Davie studied other attempts at mixed fighting - stating "Muhammad Ali vs Antonio Inoki was promoted by Vince McMahon Sr and was a box office flop."

Prepare and listen for full immersion into the very first days of the modern combat era.


**Sorry about the sound glitch at times, but Art really gave us time and was forthcoming - we had to put it up!

Veteran MMA fighter and coach Brian Geraghty sat down with the #LytesOut Podcast for more than two hours to talk fights and look back at his twelve year MMA career.  Best known for his appearance on the UFC's "The Ultimate Fighter" TV show and as a member of Dave Strasser's Freestyle Academy in Wisconsin, Geraghty had a bit of a nomad's streak as well, and his list of teams and training partners is more diverse than we knew about. Over a hundred and fifty minutes and you will want more Brian Geraghty.

The #LytesOut Podcast recently caught up with Brazilian fighting legend Johil DeOliviera.

DeOliveira is now fifty two, but he still looks terrific and he was happy to give his first full length interview to an English audience. Like in the mid-1990's when he fought in Brazil's rugged Vale Tudo circuit, DeOliveira still proudly carries the flag of Budokan Luta Livre.

We go through long career, including his famous rivalry with Jose 'Pele' Landi and his infamous run in PRIDE in-depth. 

But it all started for Johil when he was 7 years old, when he started training at his father's Luta Livre Academy. His father's school had been opened since the 1960's and his father's partner was Joao Ricardo, Johil's head trainer throughout his MMA career. Let him tell you the rest...

Special thanks to #FiftyFightClub member Carlo Prater for the BIG assist on this one.
