Richie 'Vas' Vaculik: UFC Debut, Life as a Bra Boy, Deadliest Waves Surfed, Beers with Russell Crowe, Ultimate Cheat Meal
We're thrilled to welcome Richie 'Vas' Vaculik to the show. A multi-talented individual, Richie is a former UFC fighter, a big wave surfer and a proud member of the Maroubra-based surf gang, the Bra Boys.
Richie shares his journey from making his UFC debut at a time when MMA was still an underground sport in Australia to eventually fighting across three different weight classes. He also delves into his experience on Ultimate Fighter Season 16: The Smashes, where he shared the house with a future Australian MMA star, Robert Whittaker.
In Maroubra, being a Bra Boy is more than just a label, it's an identity. Richie delves into what it truly means to be part of this surf gang. Not to be missed, he also reveals how the 2007 Bra Boys documentary film not only put Maroubra on the global map but caught the eye of Hollywood superstar Russell Crowe. We dive into the adrenaline-pumping world of big wave surfing, discussing the best and most dangerous breaks he's conquered. We end the episode by discussing his post-career transition into mentoring and coaching for the next generation of fighters.
