Clifford Starks is an athlete and a Professional Trainer of the mind, body, and spirit. He is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the Middleweight division for the World Series of Fighting. A professional competitor since 2009, he formerly competed for the UFC, Bellator, and Shark Fights. He made his professional MMA debut in 2009 and fought primarily for the Rage in the Cage promotion in Arizona. He quickly amassed an undefeated record of 7-0 during the first two years of his career before joining the UFC.
In this episode of the Purpose Chasers Podcast, Clifford Starks shares his powerful story of how he has mastered the keys to mindset, determination, and discipline.
Clifford went from engaging in some light martial arts for 1 year later getting a call to fight in the UFC. He shares about the hard work and dedication it took to make his vision a reality, and how anyone can do the same.
His journey started with difficulties that he used as opportunities to grow from later in life. The realization of learning to control his own life appeared at the age of 6-years-old. His step-father taught him that ‘life is about action’, and must take responsibility in his hand, whether it’s a good, bad, or indifferent.
As a child, he didn’t fit in due to the color of his skin. But Clifford strived to work hard and make things impossible possible. He likes it when people tell him he can’t things as it allows him another opportunity to disprove his mind and others. He is an optimist and believed that the opportunities are in the obstacles.
