Rick Bassman's Talking Tough

Rick, from Little Big Man:

“I’ve had hundreds –maybe thousands—of awesomely bizarre, hysterical and terrifying experiences in Pro Wrestling & Mixed Martial Arts, in every corner of the globe.”

Each week, Rick shares one of these experienced, right here on The Ring + The Cage.

The Ring & The Cage – August 1, 2020.

“POPPING MY UFC CHERRY: (or, Pro Wrestling & MMA don’t always mix so good ?? )

Rick recounts his inaugural venture into mixed martial arts management. His first client? Tony Halme, aka Ludvig Borga, a man who is also making his first venture in MMA. And never should have. Hilarity ensures. As well as a good ‘ol-fashioned whuppin’ at the hands of another man making his MMA debut… Randy Couture.

Each week, join us for a brand new edition of “Tall Tales,” as Rick Bassman tells us a story he wrote about in his autobiography, “Little Big Man.”

Tall Tales -

“THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON: HOW I GOT INTO PIT BULL RESCUE.”

Rick shares part of the story of his plummet to rock bottom, culminating in the tragic death of his beloved dog Marley, and Ramone’s going missing for half a year. And shares the beginning of his ‘return to life,’ which he largely attributes to finding his way into the world of pit bull rescue.

Today on the 3 WAY DANCE on the Talking Tough Podcast, Rick catches up with two long-time friends in legendary MMA fighter, Don Frye and Impact Wrestling/NJPW superstar Doc Gallows.

He follows the guiding principle that if everyone does a little it becomes a lot. With great sacrifice comes great reward, and he is the real deal in animal welfare and humanitarian work.

"It's one big world, let's save it together."

Today on Talking Tough we flip the script on Rick Bassman. Instead of Rick asking the questions, we have producer John Poz from the Two Man Power Trip asking them. In an interview recorded before the debut of Talking Tough, Rick discusses the show format in detail, as well as talks about his life and his career. Find out all about Sting, Ultimate Warrior, John Cena, UPW, MMA and more!

Azim Khamisa is an author, thought leader, peace activist, and international inspirational speaker. Following the loss of his only son Tariq in 1995 to a senseless, gang-related murder, Azim chose the path of forgiveness and compassion rather than revenge and bitterness. This amazing choice led to the establishment of the Tariq Khamisa Foundation (www.TKF.org) and the subsequent forgiveness movement which has reached millions. Rick and Azim talk all about forgiveness, sadness, hope, life and so much more.
