Jim Norton and Matt Serra get ready for UFC 332 with a pair of main-card fighters: returning middleweight Ateba Gautier and first-time guest Natalia Silva.First, Gautier joins the show ahead of his matchup with Roman Kopylov and reveals a few unexpected layers outside the cage. If you heard a middleweight knockout artist say he was a My Little Pony fan, a physics lover and a geology major, which one would you not believe? In Gautier's case, two of those are true — and you have to hear him explain it for yourself. He also talks about his natural power, preparing for Kopylov's durability, training in Las Vegas and continuing to evolve from fight to fight.Then, Jim and Matt make some UFC 332 picks before welcoming #1 women's flyweight Natalia Silva and translator Fabiano Buskei to the show. Silva reflects on starting Taekwondo through a social program in Brazil, pushing through early MMA losses and injuries, and finally reaching Saturday's vacant title fight against Wang Cong.Silva also talks about preparing for five rounds, what she expects from Wang's striking, and what it means to represent the small Brazilian town of Pingo-d'Água on a world championship stage before Jim and Matt wrap up with final thoughts and picks for Saturday's card.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What does it take to build a career in combat sports while traveling the world and raising a family?On this episode of The Travel Wins Podcast, I sit down with Greg Bloom, CEO of Red Owl Boxing, for a conversation about boxing, business, law, international travel, leadership and the family support required to make an unconventional career work.Greg's journey through combat sports began while he was still in law school.After helping a professional fighter navigate a contractual dispute, Greg began managing fighters and eventually built a sports agency representing athletes across boxing and MMA.More than two decades later, he has experienced the fight business from almost every angle—as an attorney, manager, adviser, and executive.Today, he's bringing that experience to Red Owl Boxing, where he's helping expand a growing boxing brand focused on developing the sport's next generation of fighters.We discuss Red Owl's philosophy of building reputations instead of simply protecting undefeated records, expanding boxing into new markets, creating better opportunities for developing fighters and the company's ambitious plans for the future.But this conversation goes beyond boxing.Greg has spent years traveling throughout the United States and internationally for fights and business while also raising a family.We talk about the reality of leaving home for another event, another meeting or another country—and how important it has been to have an understanding and supportive wife helping make that career possible.In this episode:

Then we wrap things up with a little fast fire (29:19) — because we can't have a serious fight conversation without getting a few random questions in there.A good mix of fight camp, MMA, coaching, training, and the personality behind the fighter. Zach is always a fun one to have on, and this one gets into both sides of the game — the work that goes into preparing for a fight and everything that comes with it outside the cage.Follow Zach on IG: HEREFollow the podcast on IG: https://www.instagram.com/thehbpod_/

Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by two fighters preparing for next weekend's Noche UFC card in Glendale, Arizona.First, 15th-ranked featherweight Jose Miguel Delgado joins the show after finding out he'll be stepping in for Yair Rodriguez to face Jean Silva in the Noche UFC main event.

Elliott reflects on his wrestling roots behind his trademark “awkward” style, the longevity that still has him ranked in the Top 15 at 39 years old, and how his approach to accepting fights have put him in a position to accumulate UFC flyweight records that place him alongside (and in some categories ahead of) Demetrious Johnson.After the second interview, Jim and Matt go deeper on their other biggest UFC Shanghai takeaways before wrapping up with a look ahead to tomorrow's DWCS card.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

To succeed when training elite MMA fighters and athletes in high-demand, high-risk sports, coaches must balance sport-specific preparation with intelligent recovery and individualized strategies that prevent overtraining and support safe weight management. In this episode of the “NASM CPT Podcast,” host Rick Richey talks with guest Brandon Harris, a UFC performance coach and founder of Premier Fitness Systems, about how trainers working with NASM can apply these principles to help both elite and everyday clients thrive. Listeners will learn why "addition by subtraction"—removing unnecessary or excessive training instead of adding more—is often key for athletic success, especially in fighters who already have demanding training schedules. The conversation explores practical approaches to energy system development, wheat cutting, recovery techniques (including breathwork and nervous system regulation), and the role of curiosity and education in a successful coaching career. After listening, you will understand how to evaluate training volume, when to pull back or push intensity, how to address weight cut challenges, and how to foster resilience for long-term performance and health. Chapters: [00:00] What is addition by subtraction in elite athlete training, and why does it matter? [06:18] Why did Brandon Harris move from commercial gyms to starting his own business? [09:21] How did certifications like NASM and curiosity influence Brandon Harris's career path? [14:18] How do you prepare fighters' bodies and minds for the demands and risks of MMA and combat sports? [17:03] How do you train both explosive power and endurance for MMA athletes? [18:11] What does addition by subtraction look like in real training sessions? [20:21] Why do coaches sometimes reduce training rather than add more, and what are real-world examples? [24:39] How does weight cutting work in fight sports, and what are the risks? [33:08] How did networking and volunteering lead to Brandon Harris working with UFC fighter Sean O'Malley? [36:53] What recovery methods matter most for fighters and high-performance athletes? [40:43] How do you teach efficient breathing and energy management during high-stress sports scenarios? [43:35] What is the bigger-picture impact that trainers and coaches can have on clients' lives? [45:41] How can listeners connect with Brandon Harris and learn more about his methods?

**The Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1285**   with Creston Berch and Andrew Gasser Clay, Creston, and Andrew cover a packed weekend and the stories that actually matter. Jason Aldean packed Brandon with a sold-out, no-drama night that included “Try That in a Small Town.” College football's Week 0 delivered the usual early-season weirdness: Dan Mullen's UNLV squad lost at home to Memphis and the coach blamed the crowd for being too loud on offense; USC's big stadium looked half-empty against San Jose State, sparking talk about whether some programs should take non-conference games to smaller venues that actually look full on TV. NASCAR delivered a strong Daytona race. Combat sports went full circus—BKFC in Fenway Park plus a chaotic Orlando card that featured Mike Perry's shoulder injury on short notice, internet personalities, and one of the strangest post-main events you'll ever see. The biggest story of the hour: a Nigerian national was extradited to Mississippi and arraigned in Oxford on charges tied to the 2022 online sextortion of 16-year-old Starkville Academy football player Walker Montgomery, who died by suicide. The suspect had been in Nigerian custody since a 2023 FBI-led operation (Artemis) that netted more than 20 suspects linked to a wave of financially motivated schemes against American teenage boys. Charges include sexual exploitation of a minor resulting in death. The Montgomery family has spent years pushing internet-safety legislation through Walker's Promise. Clay and Creston give law enforcement and the feds their roses for finally getting the case into a U.S. courtroom after three years of extradition fights. Hour two turns to companies voting with their feet. Buc-ee's CEO said life is too short to build in places that don't want you and that conservative, business-friendly states with a real workforce make the difference—prompting Democrat boycott noise and a quick “welcome” from Ron DeSantis. That conversation rolls into SpaceX's massive Louisiana plans, Starship cadence, Starlink evolution, talk of orbital data centers, Neuralink, Optimus, and whether medical advances like stem-cell therapies and brain-computer interfaces can stay on the right side of “playing God.” They close with an observation that's been eating at Clay: AI has made everyone a graphic designer overnight, but the internet now looks the same. Flyers, thumbnails, and scripts are starting to feel interchangeable. The theory on the table is that audiences will start craving the opposite—plain, human, imperfect, and obviously not generated. Real talk, real topics, no filter.

Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by two UFC Sacramento winners fresh off statement performances before looking ahead to this Saturday's UFC Shanghai card.First, 7th-ranked middleweight Gregory Rodrigues joins the show after collecting his fourth straight win in last Saturday's main event with a unanimous decision over hometown favorite Anthony Hernandez. Humbly aware of his reputation as a devastating striker, “RoboCop” reflects on how a fighter with jiu-jitsu roots has grown into a complete mixed martial artist under Kill Cliff head trainer Henri Hooft.A day removed from Alex Apodaca's historic upset of Bella Mir in Tuesday's DWCS main event, Jim and Matt reflect on what it takes to deliver as a massive underdog — a topic Matt Serra knows better than most.Jim and Matt are then joined by lightweight MarQuel Mederos, who assesses his own impressive showing against durable veteran Mason Jones. Now living and training in Arizona, Mederos revisits his Texas roots and how getting caught up selling weed in his younger years ultimately led him toward martial arts where he is now eyeing a Top-15 opponent next after a five-fight unbeaten start to his UFC career.Finally, Jim and Matt wrap up the show with three picks each in a preview of this weekend's fights in Shanghai.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jim Norton and Matt Serra recap UFC Sacramento while catching up with two lightweights on opposite ends of their careers: short-notice UFC newcomer Stan Dorsainvil and recently retired legend Edson Barboza, one of the most electric strikers in UFC history.First, undefeated lightweight Stan Dorsainvil joins the show after rallying to beat Gauge Young in his short-notice UFC debut. Dorsainvil talks about taking the fight on short notice and battling back from a difficult first round before finding common ground with Matt over their shared love of action movies and video games. But a potential dealbreaker surfaces when the guys bring up an old Dorsainvil tweet that puts him on the opposite side of Matt Serra in a hilarious food debate.After sharing takeaways from UFC Sacramento, the guys welcome Barboza back to UFC Unfiltered following his retirement announcement after his UFC 330 loss to Esteban Ribovics. Barboza reflects on his 16-year UFC career, the highlight-reel finishes that made him one of the sport's most dangerous strikers, and what he wants fans to remember most now that he has laid his gloves down inside the Octagon.Finally, Jim and Matt wrap up with a quick look ahead to tomorrow's DWCS card and the next wave of UFC events on the calendar.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
