Jon Fitch stopped by the #LytesOut Podcast to discuss his career. Fitch was one of the top five welterweights in the world when he fought for the UFC, Bellator and World Series of Fighting. But his road to the top was not easy nor was it a straight trajectory. Here, Mike Davis and Chris Lytle take Jon Fitch from his initiation into the sport while he was wrestling at Purdue University through the heights of fighting for the UFC. At times, the UFC isn't the lofty place it may seem. Fitch talks serious and honest. Thank you Jon. Photo Credits: Keith D.

Javier Mendez Co-Owner/Advisor and Founder of AKA Former World Champion Kickboxer Founder of AKA Head trainer & Coach for Team AKA Official coach on the UFC Ultimate Trainer video game Javier Mendez started training in martial arts in 1978, studying the discipline of Tang Soo Do. Mendez started his kickboxing career in 1985 in exhibition bout against Bill “Superfoot” Wallace, after which he began his pro kickboxing career. Shortly thereafter he established American Kickboxing Academy out of Capital Glass Shop and started training with a small contingent of students. After fighting his way through the kickboxing ranks, Mendez won his first world championship in 1992 when he became the ISKA Light-Cruiserweight Champion. After defending the title for two years, Mendez moved up in weight and won the ISKA Light Heavyweight Championship in 1995. Mendez would also train several amateur and pro kickboxing champions such as pro champions like Travis Johnson, Jerome Turcan, Jean-Claude Leuyer. His amateur champions include Derek Yuen and Gary Owens. In 1996, Mendez had his first foray into the world of mixed martial arts, when local UFC fighter Brian Johnston sought out Mendez to help him improve his kickboxing ability. Mendez then found his new career, becoming a MMA trainer. Mendez would train his first UFC champion in 1997, when Frank Shamrock would join American Kickboxing Academy. Mendez would be his trainer until his first retirement, which included being in his corner for his perfect 5-0 UFC run as UFC Middleweight Champion. Mendez's next big star would be B.J. Penn, whom was already a highly respected grappler but needed to learn how strike and become a complete fighter. Under Mendez, Penn would win his first three fights by knockout, earning the young fighter a title shot against then UFC Lightweight Champion Jens Pulver. Although unsuccessful in his attempt to become champion, Penn's training with Mendez would lay the foundation for his successful UFC run down the road. Mendez would slowly build his stable of MMA fighters, which initially included Bobby Southworth, Josh Thomson, Mike Swick, Paul Buentello, Jon Fitch and Mike Kyle, all who would eventually find themselves in the UFC at some point in their careers. After the success of the Ultimate Fighter and with MMA booming, more fighters would seek Mendez's tutelage like Ultimate Fighter standout Josh Koscheck. More and more fighters would join AKA's stable of MMA fighters like Trevor Prangley, Phil Baroni, Nate Moore, Justin Wilcox, Kyle Kingsbury, Luke Rockhold, Cung Le, Mark Ellis, Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez. Mendez would also prepare former Heisman trophy winner Herschel Walker for his MMA career, training him and cornering for all his fights so far. Many of AKA's fighters would go on to win various championships in several different MMA organizations. In King of the Cage; Daniel Cormier would claim the heavyweight title and Mike Kyle winning the light heavyweight title. In Strikeforce alone, several of Mendez's fighters won several championships titles; Cung Le becoming the middleweight champion by stopping former Mendez trainee Frank Shamrock; Josh Thomson becoming the lightweight champion; Bobby Southworth becoming the light heavyweight champion and Luke Rockhold as the Strikeforce Middleweight title. Last but not least is Cain Velasquez, who became the UFC Heavyweight Champion at UFC 121 by stopping then champion Brock Lesnar with strikes. In 2015, Javier became the ONLY trainer to have 3 concurrent UFC Champions (Heavyweight – Cain Velasquez, Light Heavyweight – Daniel Cormier, Middleweight – Luke Rockhold). Mendez has built up AKA to be one of the more respected MMA camps in the world and he isn't done yet, having many young fighters in the pipeline to become the next MMA stars.
Today on the show we've got an unreleased episode from "the vault" . This one took a while to get edited as we were having some technical difficulties with a mixer at the time. We initially recorded this following John's win at Bellator ( Fedor vs Mitrione ) in San Jose a few months ago . The last weeks have been so busy it's actually taken quite a while to go back and get the audio sorted for this one. We are one day removed from Memorial Day so I want to send a big " thank you " to all of the veterans past, present and future . You put your lives on the line and many do pay the ultimate price for our freedom back home so, again, thank you. John Cardenas is a friend, training partner and an undefeated mixed martial arts fighter out of the American Kickboxing Academy.

It's the Strange Wolves podcast Christmas special! As always, if you are under 18, go away. If you don't, Santa won't come next year. In this festive outing, Vinny, Tom, Marcus and John are joined by um, the guy who uploads the podcasts, Barry Commins. 'Hogan's Top 3' is a Joycean stream of nonsense. Something to do with commentators' shortcomings? Who knows? The movie review this month is another JCVD film, The Quest. In a major news scoop, Vinny reveals that Kabib's dad told him that Conor McGregor will fight Tyrone Woodley next. The two recent shows, UFC 206 and Fight Night 22 are up for review, with podcast favourite Paige Van Zant suffering a defeat to Michelle 'The Karate Hottie' Watterson. Max 'Blessed' Holloway vs Anthony Pettis lost some of its lustre due to 'Showtime' failing to make weight. Donald Cerrone vs Matt Brown gets general approval. John's personal beef with Nage Shortcutt means he was happy to see him finished by Mickey Gall. The UFC's end of year show, UFC 207, is fast approaching and gets the full preview treatment here. Will Ronda Rousey return as her old dominant self, or will her big knockout and long absence allow Nunez to blow through her? Dominant champion Dominick Cruz fights Cody Garbrandt in the co-main event. Will 'No Love' have the tools to dethrone the champ? American Kickboxing Academy derails another show, and John questions their training techniques. Are the full armour sparring rounds really necessary? In the early 2017 preview, the question is posed again: Does anyone care about Tito Ortiz vs Chael Sonnen? Also, BJ Penn's continuing existence matter? Jon Jones Watch returns with a new jingle, which triggers an extended discussion on the wide variety of types of metal music (again!). #BlackMetalMatters As for Jones, are his brags really an admission of a medical problem? More importantly, what sort of music does he like?
