We cover a lot more than UFC 311 since we haven't spoke in a month or so. There's a lot going on in the fight space and the world at large.

Breaking news on the same day: Suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting, Luigi Mangione, taken into custody and Daniel Penny (choked Jordan Neely to death) acquitted of criminal charges. Both of these stories make people feel a certain type of way, and we'll let you know how we feel about them and some messages and responses we've received about both of these cases.

Anup got married and is turning 40! After a long break, we talk about Topuria vs Holloway, Whitaker vs Chimaev, Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson, Chandler vs Oliveira, and Jon Jones vs Stipe Miocic. Arturo has a problem with people thinking Mike Tyson and Jon Jones are the heroes of their stories.

Arturo turns 40, Israel vs Hezbollah, fire-breathing drones, UFC 306 (O'Malley vs Dvalishvili), and weirdos in martial arts. A lot to catch up on over the last month!

Elias is back on the podcast! Elias asks, "what is my student trying to get out of BJJ?" We need to ask them! We dive into his philosophies helping his members by first asking them what their goals are. If you want to help them as best you can as an individual, you need to know this. We dive into what a good kids program looks like, martial arts in public schools, and how these things can help other owners become better leaders in their community while improving their business. This is a great listen for students and teachers! Follow Elias and his affiliation on IG @gallegos_jiu_jitsu_hq. Elias offers free training for LEOs and autistic children through the San Diego Regional Center.

Lots of fighters end their MMA career and go into boxing. We talk about how Diaz vs Masvidal and Jake Paul vs Mike Perry seemed pretty successful and entertaining. Then there's guys getting boxing matches like Darren Till, Francis Ngannou and several other MMA fighters who are on the brink of retiring from MMA and have boxing potential. Also will Jake Paul have the likes of Anderson Silva, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, and Roy Jones Jr on his resume when it's all said and done?

Arturo has a F2W match coming up, his boys are starting jiu-jitsu camp and we talk UFC 303- what we like and what we think might happen in the aftermath.

When people get into martial arts for self-defense, is it natural to progress into weaponry, bugout bags, and overall doomsday preparedness? Are self-defense minded people usually more conservative or are conservative people more self-defense minded?

Anup gets a purple belt in jiu-jitsu, Ryan Garcia getting arrested, conspiracies around Ryan Garcia, what we think is happening with Conor McGregor, and alluding to our next episode's topic of martial arts leading down the road to doomsday prepping as a continuation of self-defense.
