This episode is the first time ever having more than one guest. I sit down with an Australian MMA icon in Jesse 'Funky Cold' Medina and one of his young up and coming students Aydan Russell

We discuss the highs and lows of our MMA careers. Talk about the importance of cross training and developing amateur careers; we also share some light hearted jokes about how many times I've cornered against Jesse and he is yet to get a win against me

At the end we discuss some of the best prospects of Australian MMA who can go to the next step and make it to the UFC

I look at every division in the UFC's history and build my ultimate fighter using the following metrics to create the best fighter in every division:

Chin

Cardio

Boxing

Kicking

Wresting

Submissions

In this episode I name the current UFC champs. I mention who I believe is the biggest threat to their title reign and I give my prediction if I believe they will be a champion in the next 12 months

Please comment or contact, I would love to discuss people's opinions on this

Today's chat is with Adam Gee, gee what a name. Firstly we speak about Jiu Jitsu and what we think is a good pre-requisite on grading someone on each belt and what each belt means compared to other martial arts; parameters are club driven so we spoke about how integrity is important in grading Jiu Jitsu for hobbyists and competitors

We discussed the flaws in ATAR and university degrees and how popularity of the degree shouldn't be the number one factor in getting into the degree, it should be the right person for the degree

And finally for a little bit of fun I put Adam in the hot seat with some on the spot questions regarding a multitude of different topics

Charlie or as I call him, King Charles, comes on to discuss his BJJ show starter style; he decides to go full Islam on me with his trolling sense of humour.

At the end I put him in the hot seat with some questions regarding the UFC, training mates and more. Fun episode with a young man I have known since he was a child

This is the first episode with two guests discussing the upcoming Artemis grappling meet as well as some twin telepathy

We also talk about their start in Jiu Jitsu as small children, how it has evolved now they are adults and working towards their goal of becoming MMA fighters. We have a bit of fun at the end pinning the twins against each other

This episode Dom brings to the table his creative writing which leads us to discussing famous conspiracy theories from the moon landing to the Kennedy assignation and many more.

We talk about what has made society more divided and have some light hearted cracks at our own theories on famous conspiracy theories
