In this episode I talk with Sean Wheelock and Art Davie regarding Campbell's McLaren's claims that he started the UFC. Over the years I and others have seen Campbell make these claims and I had been meaning to do a show on this to refute those lies. I had talked to Sean about this in the past and I am glad we had the opportunity to do this show with Art Davie to set the record straight. Sean also helped Art write his memoir which is called "Is This Legal." You can purchase the book on isthislegalthebook.com and Art will personally sign it for you as well.

In this episode we talk with one of his students named Tayde Garcia who won her first professional fight recently. We talk about her training and overcoming mental health challenges. Adam talks about his feelings on longer training camps and I brought in Enson Inoue near the end as kind of a surprise.
