In this episode of the Variable Podcast, I had an interesting conversation with Soa "The Hulk" Palelei regarding his return to the UFC, as well as his thoughts on a few aspects of MMA and what it takes to compete at the highest level of this sport. Soa Palelei will be facing Stipe Miocic in a heavyweight bout at UFC 161 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada on June 15th. You can follow him on Twitter @SoaTheHulk.
