Lots of fighters end their MMA career and go into boxing. We talk about how Diaz vs Masvidal and Jake Paul vs Mike Perry seemed pretty successful and entertaining. Then there's guys getting boxing matches like Darren Til
Arturo has a F2W match coming up, his boys are starting jiu-jitsu camp and we talk UFC 303- what we like and what we think might happen in the aftermath.
When people get into martial arts for self-defense, is it natural to progress into weaponry, bugout bags, and overall doomsday preparedness? Are self-defense minded people usually more conservative or are conservative pe
