Brendan Loughnane is a professional MMA fighter totalling 21 wins to date and with a bright future ahead of him. With one of the best work ethics I’ve ever seen in an athlete, I wanted to sit down with him and talk about his journey so far. He’s funny, inspiring and has a lot to offer in understanding what it takes to be a $1,000,000 prize fighter. I know you’ll learn something valuable from what he has to say.

In this podcast episode we talk about:

- How he started in MMA
- Pre-match conflict, is it fake?
- Work ethic and training
- Coming back from defeat
- What it’s like to take a punch
- Mental health and support networks

And much much more.
