This episode digs deep into fighter pay, what is important in life, fighting after fighting, and the future of Bare Knuckle Fighting. We were able to dive into how exciting it was that Jorge Masvidal was able to hold GameBred MMA this past weekend, what it means for the future of fighting and how there are two people in the BKFC that called Herrera out. 

We also discussed the idea of Herrera being the first Columbian-Born BKFC fighter and how he not only feels he should but is obligated to give those in Columbia a chance to shine in the squared circle. Herrera is hoping to be featured on the July 23rd BKFC event in Tampa, Florida, his hometown.

In this episode,  Rogers talks about life after fighting and what it means to modify one's life after the cage is behind you. He talks about his business ventures, the importance of mental health awareness, and how to not be a stereotype and kick down doors for your life.  This episode really went down the rabbit hole when it came to mental health. We talked about how important it is, not just in combat sports, but all contact sports and in life itself. Rogers discussed the importance of passion in your life and how your impact could change and/or save someone's life forever.

He went on to detail his itinerary for the week, including some one-on-one time with the one and only, Tyson "Gypsy King" Fury.  Logan vs. Mayweather is live this Sunday, June 6th and Maxwell vs. Ochocinco has moved it's way onto the main card.

The Quiggin Out MMA Podcast is back after another small break  with episode 36 featuring BKFC brawler, Bobo O'Bannon.  

This was one of the most intense interviews I have ever done. O'Bannon did not shed away from any detail of his life and career. He discussed things that left my speechless and I feel you will share that sentiment when you watch the show. From dealing with a horrific memory to what he goes through day to day, O'Bannon is the true definition of a fighter.   O'Bannon and I talked baseball, what it is to be a father and a husband, how important his faith is to him and even how at one point, his wife told him that if he wanted to fight, they wouldn't be together anymore. Of course all that changed on one fateful Sunday morning and the rest is history.   

It was truly an honor to get to talk to someone like O'Bannon because he really is a one-of-a-kind person, not just a fighter. His work ethic and ability to make things work, even when they shouldn't, is a thing of beauty. If you don't believe me, one of his cornerman was in Wales during his last BKFC fight and actually was able to Facetime with him in order to give instructions between rounds.   I

 have linked below Bobo's wife's gofundme page as she is currently diagnosed with 11 different diseases, each with their own detriment to her health. If you could please donate any amount, I'd love to see their goal exceeded well beyond what they need just because of the kind of people they are.

The Quiggin Out MMA Podcast is back after a small hiatus with episode 35 featuring recent UFC heavyweight signee, Lorenzo "The DreamKiller" Hood.

The show needed to come back with a bang and this was exactly what the doctor ordered. Hood's quiet and reserved style is the exact opposite of his fighting style, as he has 15 wins and 15 first round knockouts. Hood talks about his adversity growing up along with the opportunities and failures he experienced. He goes on to talk about how and why he retired from MMA in 2016, the infamous Bellator injury, and even a time where he had to sign a waiver that included the words "leg amputation". (Probably one of the craziest stories I have ever heard).

Hood also goes on to talk about his time in boxing, bare-knuckle fighting and how a loss changed not only his outlook on fighting, but his outlook on life. Hood was originally supposed to be fighting for the Valor Fighting Challenge Heavyweight title but obviously when the UFC came knocking, there was no hesitation in his decision.
