Podcast appearances and mentions of Brian Ebersole

In this episode I sat down with Ian Schaffa, a pioneer of Australian MMA who had a storied career and fought in K-1 against one of my favourite fighters - Genki Sudo. From Karate to the early days of training for MMA, Ian shares a bunch of stories from Australian MMA History, fighting in Japan, the Yakuza and much more. One of the things I've kept reflecting on since this episode is the 'duality' of things, how things that are bad can also be good and so on. Ian also speaks openly about fighting and some of the levers behind why he went down some of the pathways he did.  That said, sometimes it's just one little thing that can click and lead to a life change. The Street Buffet is also a great initiative that Ian started and there is some real insight in that the you can't necessarily 'help' other people who might be in less fortuante situations, but you can connect with them. Ian has also started 'Goshu Promotions' - a combat sports promotion looking to put on exciting matches across mixed disciplines.   Links: Ian on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ianschaffa_smmash/ Ian on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Ian-Schaffa-100063803886136/ The Street Buffet on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thestreetbuffet/ Street Buffet on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/streetbuffet/ Brian Ebersole on the Lytes outs Podcast talking about the street fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncjAF38EkC8 https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/fighters/ian-james-schaffa-goshu-hurricane Ian Schaffa vs Genki Sudo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq3OIbufsvE  

Hi Everyone, In this episode, I got to sit down with Ben10 Nguyen, a former top 8 UFC Flyweight and it was really cool to actually be able have Brian Ebersole sit in with us at the start to talk about this crazy moment that changed the trajectory of Ben's entire life. From growing up in Sioux Falls, South Dakota to being the non-academic sibling, Ben had been fighting for a while and was at this point of deciding whether he was going to settle into a more 'normal' life when he received a call from Brian Ebersole at Tiger Muay Thai. Ben also went viral for his fight against Julian Wallace and was featured on Lawrence Kenshin's Striking Breakdowns and it was cool to listen to his mindset going into that fight. Nowadays Ben spends most of his time coaching and is a great wealth of knowledge for MMA - if you're interested in those things check out the links below! Enjoy!

In this episode I sit down with Brian 'Bad Boy' Ebersole. I remember watching Brian's fights and thinking that he must be such a wild dude that it's a little bit crazy to think how twists and turns and we've become good friends through working together. I suppose when the guy used to shave an up arrow into his chest hair and throw cartwheel kicks in cage fights, what other impression are you meant to get? I still remember at a local Showdown Fight night when I was getting involved in the local scene that I grabbed Brian backstage for a short interview and I asked him 'Have you got any advice for aspiring fighters?' and the response he gave me was something like 'dont do it how I did it'. Brian is such a gentleman with a big heart that it's amazing to be able to share a conversation like this with him about his life, wrestling, travelling and much more.

Brian Ebersole has been on a journey in MMA having started in wrestling, and later competing in MMA in over 70 bouts in UFC, Shooto, Strikeforce, IFC, KOC and XFC (where he now matchmakes). He has fought, trained and coached in various countries, and has now resided in Australia for the last 15 years. Now as a retired fighter and coach he has a wealth of knowledge of the game.
