Bonus episode from a listener request

I speak about my experiences as a long time MMA fighter and coach

I use the pros and cons from my career and people who I have worked with and give the best advice possible to young up and coming fighters or people who are early in their fight career

Any comments or requests please let me know

Brooke is a massive sports fan. We discuss her introduction into the martial arts world, working her way to a black belt in Taekwondo, transitioning to boxing and finally BJJ

Brooke brings to light the Ali Act and how it works or could be improved. That moves into how Zuffa can potentially shake up the boxing world where we discuss the pros and cons

Next the conversation moves towards an interesting direction to discuss the current pay situation with the WNBA as well as the Caitlin Clarke effect and what can be done to make it a win win for players and the league

Then we end with me quizzing Brooke on a few sports and who her GOATS or favourites are

Thanks for the support. Please leave feedback, like or subscribe

After our recent conversation, Fab did have one more topic to discuss and wanted to pose to myself the question "Who is the Greatest Basketball Player of All Time?"

Fab has grown up with and is an avid Lebron James follower (literally following the team Lebron plays for) and believes he is the greatest player to ever live

I grew up with basketball in the 90's and believe Michael Jordan to be the GOAT

We enter into a civil debate, throwing out other players names who are comparable, but not close

At the end of the day we agree to disagree and would love everyone to jump in with their thoughts - is it MJ or Lebron?

In this episode I am speaking with Fabio Savioa. Fab was born 3 months premature and lives with Cerebral Palsy (CP), spending 90% of his time in his wheel chair. But Fab hasn't let that stop him participate in as many sports and exercise activities as he can

We discuss his day to day life with CP; how it affects him, how he uses it as motivation to lift weights, play wheelchair football and rugby as well as spar boxing in a wheelchair

We discuss how Australia should be catching up to some European nations who give people who use a wheelchair opportunities to compete in other sports, eg boxing. And we discuss the possibility that wheelchair boxing is potentially safer than boxing standing up

Fab brings to the conversation the Australian Football League (AFL). Fab is an avid AFL supporter and we discuss in depth our favourite AFL players of all time and with him being a Crows supporter and myself a Power supporter we discuss the best Crows and Port players

To finish we discuss video gaming, which gaming consoles we played on as a kid and adult and some of the games that help us relax

Taking a quick dive into the American Mafia and my Mount Rushmore of the American Mafia

Between episodes I will let you know about things I am knowledgeable and passionate about. And one thing that peaks my interest is the American Mafia

I believe there are two categories to this Mount Rushmore. Number 1 the Mount Rushmore of Fame of the Mafia and 2 The Mount Rushmore of the most successful Mob of America

And if this is something you're passionate about, I invite you to bring up these topics on a future podcast

Alec Burns is an MMA Fighter and BJJ Brown Belt. On top of that he's one of the kindest, most humble person you could meet

In this podcast Alec wants to know more about what motivates me to train and coach still and we speak about how effective he believes basic BJJ would be in a pub fight or street fight

Changing gears Alec asks me to rate, on a scale of 1 to 5, the best to worst submissions, only providing one submission at a time

We finish with talk of the TV show Sopranos and how Alec deals with competition and his mindset
