Quiggin' Out Podcast

The Quiggin Out MMA Podcast is joined by recent Bellator Featherweight Grand Prix Semi-Finalist, Emmanuel Sanchez.

In this episode, Sanchez is on what he refers to as his "Revenge Tour 2020". He most recently avenged one of his losses in a thrilling five-round fight against Daniel Weichel. He has his focus set on his next task against another fighter who handed him defeat, current featherweight champion Patricio 'Pitbull' Freire.  

Sanchez and I discuss his time during Covid, how the world needs to be kind again and how he plans on ending this Grand Prix.  His outlook on life, how important his faith is to him and the message he wants all us to know was a breath of fresh air for sure.

The Quiggin Out MMA Podcast is joined by recent BKFC fighter Britain Hart and BKFC mainstay and fight manager, Kevin Smith.  (No it's not that Kevin Smith)   In this episode, Hart, Smith and I discuss the rise of BKFC, how the sport is perceived by fans and critics alike, Hart's upcoming bout this friday at BKFC 14 against Randine Elkholm and what it means to be a positive fighter and influence to those around you.  Hart has to be one of the most cheerful fighters I've ever spoken with during fight week and I loved having her as a guest on the show. Smith is truly a person who is here to make sure the best is given to the fighters and looks at them more as a family than a client or asset.    Don't forget to head over to EpicJitsTees.com and pick up a Quiggin' Out MMA Podcast shirt or any of the amazing designs available.     Special shout out to La Barba Cubano for supplying some amazing beard oil.

The Quiggin Out MMA Podcast is joined by recent BKFC title challenger, MMA veteran,  and pop culture lover, Ike Vallie-Flagg.

In this episode, Ike and I discuss his most recent fight, when to call it quits, and pop-culture debates.  Ike is a huge pop culture lover and we decided to have civilized arguments about who was the best batman, the best joker, and who would win in a fight: John McClane from Diehard or John Wick. You tell us who you think would take the W or which one of us is crazy.

We also learned, for the first time on the show, what Hollywood movie was the first to really use Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Do you know what it is off the top of your head?

What's great about this episode is Ike's personal story that comes into play and how real it truly gets and how this episode goes deep inside the mind of Flagg and how his life has changed for the better.

The Quiggin Out MMA Podcast is joined by an MMA legend and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt, Enson Inoue. If you don't know the name Enson Inoue, stop whatever you are doing right now and go back and watch his Vale Tudo/PRIDE fights. You will NOT be disappointed.   

In this episode, Inoue and I discuss his journey into BJJ, the recent issues he has had with the IBJJF, his brief demotion to purple belt, and why he fought the men that he did in PRIDE.  This episode is not those with a short attention span. The legend and I spoke for nearly 2 hours and I never wanted to hit the stop button. It truly was an honor and a privilege.

The Quiggin Out MMA Podcast is joined by a living legend in the jiu-jitsu and MMA worlds, Master Ricardo Liborio (Part I)

Master Liborio is a 6th degree Black Belt under the legendary Carlson Gracie and also holds a 2nd degree Black Belt in Judo. Liborio is so much more than that and throughout our next few conversations, the Quiggin Out MMA Podcast will dig deeper into the man behind the man.  

Liborio loves to talk about the people that surround him, the lifestyle that comes with jiu-jitsu, the mental and physical benefits of training and is truly one of the "good guys" in every way possible. I have had the pleasure of knowing this man for the better part of 5 years and he has been nothing but a friend and truly has become family.

The Quiggin' Out MMA Podcast returns with easily one of the greatest MMA storytellers in the game today, Duane "Ole Bo" Finley. Finley. Finley's work can be found across multiple platforms,such as FloCombat and MyMMANews, and in his book, In the Cold Distance. Finley is surprised in this episode by his old co-hort and FloCombat go-to guy, Hunter Homistek, who drops in to talk about his travels and knowledge from Ole Bo himself.

This episode was a huge deal for me as I consider Duane not only to be one of my idols when it comes to writing, but has become a close friend over the years. And yes, I do almost cry at one point in the episode. That was not for shock value, that was 100% real emotion. Homistek himself has done some amazing work in the last few years outside of MMA and it sounds like it's only a matter of time before they get the gang back together, but this time, on their terms. Both of these men are amazing writers, go-getters, and at the end of the day, great friends.

Join us on this journey and I apologize in advance for the buzzing noise, it was taken out as best as possible due to an catastrophic cable failure during the recording of the show. Huge shout-out to my cousin Michael for the work he did to assist.
