What does a calf kick have to do with vulnerability management? What can a fighter's mindset teach a security practitioner about operating against an adversary they've never faced? Ron Eddings brings back fan-favorite combat sports analyst and commentator Robin Black for a conversation that was never meant to be about cybersecurity, and ends up being one of the most insightful episodes on the human side of the field. They dig into how underdogs actually win (hint: we're usually wrong about who the underdog is), what it really means to maintain control in a fight, and why the highest level of mastery might actually look like letting go of control entirely. The conversation closes with a look at how the cybersecurity landscape is mutating alongside AI, and whether an arms race that trains itself is heading somewhere catastrophic, or whether it's simply the next evolution of the fight. The answer, like most things in this episode, is more nuanced than you'd expect.

My guest today is Jimmy Sweeney who is widely regarded as one of the greatest bare-knuckle fighters of the modern era. Throughout his career, he's won multiple world titles, fought some of the toughest men in combat sports, and helped transform bare-knuckle boxing from a niche pursuit into a global phenomenon.But behind the titles and highlight reels lies a world most fans never see. The brutal reality of weight cuts. The mental battles that take place long before the first punch is thrown. The sacrifices required to keep stepping into a ring when your body is telling you otherwise.In this conversation, Jimmy takes us inside that world. We discuss his journey from amateur boxing to becoming a bare-knuckle legend, the evolution of the sport, the psychology of fighting, contract disputes, career highs and lows, and some of the wildest stories from a life spent chasing competition.LinksJimmy's IGDark Finds: Explained YouTube Channel (SUBSCRIBE)HOW IT FALLS APART | Audio Experience

Din Thomas fills in for Jim Norton alongside Matt Serra on an episode of UFC Unfiltered featuring two welterweight veterans with remarkable life stories.First, Daniel Rodriguez joins ahead of his August main event against Uroš Medić to discuss the experiences that shaped his mindset long before he ever stepped into the Octagon. Rodriguez gets candid about his eight-month stint in a Tijuana jail and explains why the pressure of professional fighting has never rattled him the way real-life survival situations once did. The 39-year-old veteran also reflects on starting MMA at age 25 and why he believes his life experience gives him a different perspective than most fighters.Then, Themba Gorimbo checks in at peace with his decision to retire from MMA at just 35 years old. Gorimbo opens up about embracing the next chapter of his life, his plans to move to Australia and tell his story in new ways, and why he wishes he had met Daniel Cormier earlier in his journey.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
