I love studying the champions. I love studying people who are the best in the world at what they do. I want to know how they train, how they eat, how they think, what they do, and every darned habit to help them be the best in the world. After all, success leaves clues.

Meet Mike Chandler. Mike is a mixed-martial artist in Bellator and a 3x world champion. He has tasted the highs and lows of professional sports; He’s been knocked-down and knocked-out. And he’s had his hand-raised 20x professionally. 3x as a world champion. He is a true warrior in every sense of the word. 

Mike is a former All-American wrestler, a current fighter on the Bellator promotion, and he’s a father and husband doing great things on this planet.

He truly is a man of IMPACT. When you hear me say, “GET YOUR MIND RIGHT,” I want you to hear some of the things Mike does to get his mind right on a regular basis, even when he’s down & out. Mike shares from the heart in this episode and I believe you are going to glean some great content and motivation from it...and I think you will become a huge Mike Chandler fan in the process.

Enjoy the episode and I look forward to hearing your feedback. If you like it, please share it on your social media and tag Mike Chandler (@mikechandlermma) and me. Go out there today and keep fighting...and keep working to be the CHAMP.
