Jim Norton and Matt Serra kick off today's episode by unpacking the biggest takeaways from UFC Oklahoma City, including Dricus Du Plessis' bounce-back win over Kamaru Usman, what that result means for Sean Strickland's next title defense, and where Usman goes from here.Then, Chase Hooper joins the show fresh off his first-round submission win over Mitch Ramirez. Hooper walks the guys through his rear-naked choke, opens up about the pressure of entering a fight on back-to-back stoppage losses, and discusses how baby No. 2 being set to arrive at any given moment affects his timeline for his next fight.After more UFC Oklahoma City reaction — including Christian Leroy Duncan's rise, Fatima Kline's impressive win, and Tommy McMillen's splashy arrival — Alden Coria stops by following his win over Stewart Nicoll. Now 3-0 in the UFC, Coria explains to a curious Matt Serra how the rush of fighting in the Octagon compares to Coria's exhilarating experience of climbing hundreds of feet into the sky as a cell phone tower technician.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Het is een interessante periode voor judoka Indy Pannegieter. De drievoudig regerend Nederlands kampioen bij de jeugd is namelijk in volle voorbereiding voor het WK onder 18 jaar in Ecuador. De weg daarnaartoe was niet makkelijk. Afgelopen week maakte het toptalent van TopJudo Amsterdam op het Jeugd EK op Gran Canaria haar rentree na ziekte en blessureleed.

We spraken er met haar over. Presentatie: Robert Denneman

Dave first stepped onto the mat in 1967 at just eight years old, beginning his training in Judo before finding his true home in Kenpo Karate under the instruction of Paul Dye. What makes his story especially unique is his unwavering loyalty to his teacher. From his first day of Kenpo training in 1972 through every rank advancement, including testing for both brown belt and black belt under the legendary Ed Parker, Paul Dye has remained his only instructor. When Dave Hebler’s school closed due to Hebler’s growing responsibilities as a personal bodyguard for Elvis Presley, training continued in Paul Dye’s now-famous garage dojo. That humble training space became the foundation for a remarkable martial arts career that continues to this day. As a competitor, Dave built an impressive tournament résumé, capturing eight consecutive Long Beach Internationals Self-Defense Championships, earning multiple national titles, and winning championships in the United Kingdom in fighting, kata, and self-defense competition. In 1986, he began teaching out of his own garage dojo, where he has spent decades developing students and preserving the traditions of Kenpo Karate. His commitment to quality instruction has produced numerous black belts and positively impacted generations of martial artists. Beyond the dojo, Dave built successful careers as a butcher, meat manager, and later as a safety consultant in the offshore oil industry. He is also a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather whose life has been guided by faith, family, and martial arts. When he’s not teaching or working, he enjoys spending time with his family at their river house along the Colorado River. Whether boating, riding Sea-Doos, exploring the desert in a sandrail or his trusty 1999 Toyota 4Runner, fishing, or simply gathering around a late-night fire pit, the river is where family and relaxation come together. More than fifty years after beginning his journey, Dave continues to train, teach, and inspire others while carrying forward the lessons passed down from his instructor and the legacy of Ed Parker’s Kenpo Karate. Please join me in welcoming Dave Thompson. Hot Boyz (1999) Full Movie

Today, we are joined by two-time Judo Olympian, Colton Brown, who shares his story of dedication, hard work, and success. Colton started Judo at 7-years old, and despite his disinterest in the sport originally, Colton learned from his losses to become one of the best in the country. Colton is a two-time Olympian who competed in the Rio and Tokyo Olympics (2016 & 2021, respectively) and was a three-time National champion at San Jose St., where he captained the team for his entire tenure. Colton's recipe to success is straight forward; he will outwork you. This, mixed with his genuine care for his people, has allowed for success also in business. Colton is the founder and owner of Colton Brown Training Center, in Warren NJ. The gym boasts an impressive growth of 500 members in 4 years. We have included links below if you are interested in joining.

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.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Gary Savage to the show. Gary Savage is Retired Entrepreneur, Investor, and President of Smart Money Tracker Premium. Gary Savage opened the discussion by assessing the current stock market, noting that while it may be entering a final parabolic bubble phase, particularly in semiconductors, warning signs like a diverging banking index and Hindenburg Omens suggest increasing danger. He cautioned that chasing these final gains risks a severe crash. The conversation then shifted to precious metals, where Savage believes gold and silver bottomed in March and are now in the advancing phase of a new intermediate cycle, albeit with frustrating, erratic momentum. He explained that the recent correction, rather than a continued parabolic surge, has returned the market to a “wall of worry” phase. This development, while slower, is healthier for the secular bull market, potentially extending it for several more years and allowing for much higher ultimate price targets, such as $15,000 gold, compared to a shorter, more volatile parabolic blow-off. He advised that buying physical metal is sound at any time for long-term holders, but warned that trading is difficult in the current volatile consolidation, which can easily shake out leveraged positions. Regarding miners, he expects them to rise with gold but believes physical silver may ultimately outperform mining ETFs due to the absence of company-specific risks. On energy, Savage suggested waiting for a potential peace deal in the Middle East to drive oil prices back down to test the upper $60s breakout level before considering a long position, as he anticipates a larger commodity bull cycle will eventually push oil above its all-time high. He linked this outlook to a broader inflationary cycle, predicting the Fed will eventually cut rates and print money, exacerbating inflation and fueling hard assets. He concluded by noting his Smart Money Tracker service is currently closed to new subscribers, as he only opens access near market bottoms.
