  • #146: Tariel Abbasov - The Muslim Azeri Pro MMA Fighter Representing Israel

    This week I sat down with UNDEFEATED MMA pro fighter Tariel Abbasov. Tariel is a Sambo world champion and moved from Azerbaijan to Israel when his mother remarried an Israeli when Tariel was 10. Tariel decided to follow Islam but has a strong connection and love for Israel. We discussed some of his past fights, his plans to join the UFC, his upbringing in Israel, and what it's like representing Israel with all the Jew hatred. Tariel is a savage fighter but his humility is very nice to see. So far, every Israeli fighter I've gotten to know has a humble but very confident attitude which I really appreciate.

  • #145: Haim Gozali - 5th Degree BJJ Black Belt and Former Bellator Fighter

    On this week's episode, I had the pleasure to chat with The OG Israeli pro MMA fighter and 5th degree BJJ black belt, Haim Gozali. Haim used to fight in Bellator, and his son Aviv is currently fighting in Bellator and has the fastest win in Bellator history with a leglock 11 seconds into the first round. Haim and I discussed his time as a fighter, his thoughts on the growth of Israeli martial arts, upcoming Israeli fighters and some Israeli politics. Haim is a very proud Jew and Israeli and has been one of the major faces of Israeli strength and pride for many years. Now at 50 years old, Haim is no longer fighting professionally but helps train new prospects and hopes to lead the next generation all the way to the big leagues.

  • #144: Shimon Smotritsky - Teaching Anti-Semitic Internet Trolls A Lesson in MMA with

    This week I had the pleasure of having Shimon Smotritsky, an Israeli professional MMA fighter on the show. At just 23 years old, Shimon is a BJJ black belt with a pro record of 10 wins and only 2 losses. The 2 losses happened in Dana White's contender series which is a gateway opportunity for pro fighters to defeat their opponents and be automatically signed up to the UFC. Shimon discussed his losses and how they've helped him understand what he was missing mentally in order to win fights going forward. We discussed the recent YouTube video with Shimon and Israeli UFC fighter Natan Levy who fought two Nick Fuentes supporting twitter trolls who spoke negatively about Jews and agreed to meet Natan and Shimon in the cage. It didn't go very well for the trolls who received nice ass kicking's and were sent home with some thinking to do. Lastly, we covered the wave of new Israeli MMA prospects and how MMA is becoming mainstream in Israel. Shimon is quite the fighter and I have no doubt he'll have his shot at the UFC very soon.

  • #143: Nili Block - The 6 Time Israeli Muay Thai & Kickboxing WORLD Champion

    We all think of Gal Gadot when we think of Israeli superwomen, but Nili isn't an actress. On this week's podcast, I sit down to chat with Nili Block, an Israeli 6-time world champion Muay Thai fighter and kickboxer. We discuss her commitment and love for martial arts, her love for her country, and the growth of Martial Arts in Israel. I'm going on a little journey for the next few weeks to talk to the best young Israeli professional fighters and how they're shaping the next generation of athletes.

  • #142: Ilay Barzilay - The Undefeated 22 Year Old Israeli MMA Pro

    This week I had the pleasure of having Ilay Barzilay, the undefeated Israeli pro MMA fighter on the show. At 22 years old, Ilay has proved to be a dominant fighter in the sport and plans to enter the UFC in the very near future. We discussed his previous fights, 2 of which ended in just above 20 seconds, as well as the new wave of Israeli martial artists and the antisemitism that comes along with being a Jewish fighter. Recently, a twitter troll who supports the white supremacist political figure Nick Fuentes, agreed to fight the Israeli UFC fighter Natan Levy at Natan's Gym. After getting his ass handed to him, the trolls friend fought another Israeli fighter named Shimon Smotritzky which landed him a broken nose. It's incredible to see the Jewish MMA scene growing and I hope to see it become more mainstream in the coming years.
