Podcasts about Mixed martial arts

On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim and Matt are joined by a combat sports legend in women's bantamweight Holly Holm and a burgeoning social media star in Chase DeMoor. Fresh off signing a brand new six-fight deal with the UFC, the 41-year-old Holm shares why she believes that her constant evolution as a martial artist has her feeling more confident than ever that a co-main event win against Yana Santos on Saturday's UFC Fight Night: Vera vs. Sandhagen card keeps her in a great position to recapture a UFC title. The guys are then joined by reality TV star Chase DeMoor, who talks about how playing defensive end at the college and professional ranks led him to his current place in life starring in reality shows and fighting fellow influencers with large social media followings. Jim and Matt wrap up the show by plugging Saturday's card set to take place in San Antonio.

My sons have been Jiu-Jitsu devotees since the age of eight. I initially joined then but, regrettably, didn't keep up the practice, though they've continued to flourish under the tutelage of today's podcast guest coach Adam Smith. But Coach Adam is much more than a youth and adult Jiu-Jitsu coach. A lifelong Martial Arts competitor and teacher, Adam has won many traditional Martial Arts tournaments. After moving on to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Mixed Martial Arts, Adam “Smash” Smith has earned a strong reputation as a high-level competitor and an expert-level teacher. Adam holds a Black Belt in American Kenpo Karate (Ed Parkers system), and a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (under Jiu-Jitsu Master Marcelo Allonso Novais). Now, Adam has three of his own Martial Arts Academies (SMASH Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) and plans to continue to build a strong team dedicated to changing lives. With more than 250 current students and thousands of former students, “Smash” is known for his ability to teach anyone, starting as young as three years old. Adam has taught special needs students for over 15 years and has well-known expertise in working with a variety of people with different disabilities. At 18 years old, Adam moved into a fire station where he became a certified firefighter and emergency medical technician (a certification he has held for 12+ years) while gaining firsthand experience saving lives and property in the Spokane area. After growing up as a poor and underprivileged athlete himself, Adam started a non-profit (Give Back Tournaments) and hosts Jiu-Jitsu tournaments to raise funds that pay for athletic endeavors for underprivileged student-athletes. This past year, Adam had double hip replacements three months apart but is back training and working to win world titles.

Friend of the show Phoenix Carnevale fills in for Matt Serra as a guest co-host alongside Jim Norton for today's UFC 286 heavy episode of UFC Unfiltered! Jim and Phoenix begin the show debating whether Jon Jones' three-year hiatus should've been more thoroughly considered when making the decision to place him atop the male pound-for-pound list over more active fighters in lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski. Canadian flyweight Malcolm Gordon then joins the show to talk about how his days of playing goaltender on the ice rink as a youth hockey player created transferrable skills that allowed him to develop nicely into a mixed martial artist. Gordon makes a strong case for why he prefers to let his coaches watch film of all of his opponents as he discusses the stakes of his upcoming matchup against Jake Hadley on Saturday's UFC 286 early prelims. Jim and Phoenix then discuss whether they think there is more pressure on Leon Edwards or Kamaru Usman going into their highly-anticipated trilogy fight for the welterweight title in London. As Rafael Fiziev joins the show, the Azerbaijani lightweight contender reflects on how his upbringing led him to Thailand to develop a strong Muay Thai skillset that ultimately became the base for his foray into his career as a mixed martial artist. Fiziev discusses how riding a six-fight winning streak shapes his mindset going into a high-stakes co-main event against Justin Gaethje. Finally, Jim and Phoenix go up and down the UFC 286 card for fight predictions before Jim wraps up the show with special news about a recurring segment set to return to UFC Unfiltered episodes starting next week!

Jim and Matt begin the show by reciprocating the love Dana White showed for the UFC Unfiltered podcast on his personal Instagram through reposting Matt's hilarious, highly-specific and accurate prediction of Jon Jones' first-round submission. They are then joined by Steve Howey, who not only shares what it was like spending 11 seasons as a cast member of Showtime's hit show Shameless, but also discusses his Muay Thai training, watching UFC fights back in the day and his role as the lead actor in the new CBS show ‘True Lies'. Then, 14th-ranked heavyweight Alexandr Romanov joins the guys ahead of his co-main event fight on Saturday's UFC Fight Night: Yan vs. Dvalishvili card. While assessing his matchup against 8th-ranked heavyweight Alexander Volkov, Romanov explains how his confidence going into the match stems from years of wrestling experience dating back to his time as a 7-year-old learning from his father in his native Moldova. Jim and Matt wrap up the show by sharing their excitement for the fights on Saturday's card leading up to the highly-anticipated bantamweight main event between Serra-Longo trained fighter Merab Dvalishvili and former champion Petr Yan.

Fresh off the heels of Saturday night's massive UFC 285 pay-per-view, Matt and Jim return for today's episode of UFC Unfiltered with plenty to talk about alongside guest co-host John Hackleman. The show begins with ‘Mattstradamus' taking a Monday-morning victory lap after having accurately predicted everything about Jon Jones' first-round submission win over Ciryl Gane for the vacant UFC heavyweight title. Guest co-host John Hackleman then hops on the show to provide a coach's perspective on Saturday night's fights. The Hawaiian Kempo founder finds particular interest in the strategy successfully adopted by newly-crowned women's flyweight champion Alexa Grasso in her upset win over long-reigning champion Valentina Shevchenko. The guys are then joined by lightweight Nazim Sadykhov roughly two weeks removed from his Fight of the Night performance in his UFC debut against Evan Elder. The Serra-Longo trained fighter talks about his journey as a mixed martial artist which began in his native Azerbaijan before eventually moving to Brooklyn as a kid with his family.

This year, I've begun martial arts classes for the first time, and I've been having a blast sparring with guys half my age. My guest today has a bit more experience than that and a very eclectic background. He believes embracing intense and difficult emotions is the road to a fully lived and satisfying life. My guest, Nico Verresen, is a former professional Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts athlete with a master's in Psychology. He specializes in resilience, performance, quality of life, and happiness. He's prepared 4 World Champions in various martial arts and, as a mindset coach, helps train business high-performers to turn their stress, setbacks, and intense conflicts into a competitive advantage. We discuss the dangers of having a high drive and great ambition but low self-esteem and the importance of choice. It is freedom of choice that brings fulfillment. Nico stresses we must chase our values, not our goals. We also explore belief's critical role in stress and the difference between pleasure and entertainment. Living a full-contact life means feeling fulfilled and no longer afraid of emotions. Topics and Questions 1:19 - Nico, How long was your fighting career? 1:29 - As a professional athlete, you had to remain calm and focused under intense physical and mental stress. Did that come naturally? 5:15 - How have your MMA skills transferred into other areas of life? 8:40 - What inspired you to go from knocking people out to helping them smile? 12:19 - What are some tips for being ambitious but enjoying the journey? 14:53 - When we first spoke, you mentioned living a full contact life. What does that mean to you? 17:57 - You can't have the feeling of victory without facing anxiety. 19:14 - Most people try to avoid stress, but you say stress can be turned into a competitive advantage. Tell me about that. 27:48 - How can we use conflict, disagreements, and fighting to create better relationships? 33:19 - Is hypnosis your preferred tool? 37:23 - Nico, what's the best way for people to learn more and connect with you?

“The journey just starts at Black Belt.  How do you carry yourself as a master instructor of your own domain?  Be a black belt in all 3 disciplines, life, business, and martial arts.  Integrate them all together, now you are a martial artist.” – Scott CokerMy guest this episode is Scott Coker, who is an Ernie Reyes Protégé, 8'th degree Black Belt and an original member of the famous West Coast Demo Team.  He was the Founder and CEO of Strike Force and is the current President of Bellator MMA.  As a martial artist and promoter of Combat Sports since 1985, Mr. Coker has first-hand experience being a part of the evolution and transformation of martial arts through combat sports.This episode is all about the scientific study and evolution of martial arts from Karate to Kick Boxing to Mixed Martial Arts.  We dive deep into the last 30 years of MMA evolution, beginning with no rounds, next to no rules, and no weight classes, to the current product we have now.  We dive deep into the evolution starting off with striking arts, then the BJJ revolution, to the rise of wrestling.  Now it is all about the flow of the striking, wrestling, and bjj arts, and the champions of the future will be those who can flow and transition between the styles, and fuse them together as one molecule instead of separate entities.  We also discuss leadership and how martial arts philosophy has influenced Scotts ability to lead organizations, fighters, and himself.  Mr. Coker is a treasure trove of martial arts history, knowledge, and insight.  What I appreciate most about him is that there is no separation between martial arts and life.  He carries himself as a martial artist everywhere he goes.  He is a Black Belt in Life.

Bruce Buffer was back for another installment of his podcast "IT'S TIME!" On this episode he chats with the new up and coming UFC fighter Trevor Peek who was victorious in his UFC debut last Saturday night. Peek had obvious nerves ahead of his octagon debut but you couldn't tell in his performance of the night winning knockout victory. Peek shares his memories of the fight including the honor of Buffer gifting him a one of a kind fight memento. Bruce is also joined by producer TJ De Santis to breakdown UFC 285 and what we should expect of Jon Jones in his return fight against Ciryl Gane.

Jim and Matt peel back the curtain of Saturday's stacked UFC 285 card on today's episode of UFC Unfiltered with three special guests — middleweight Bo Nickal, welterweight Shavkat Rakhmonov, and gambling expert Gianni “The Greek” Karalis. After Bo shares his mindset going into his highly-anticipated UFC debut against Jamie Pickett, the 27-year-old wrestling prodigy explains how being raised by a mom with an amateur boxing background and a dad with decades of wrestling experience fostered his desire to venture into the world of mixed martial arts. Matt and Jim then run through some of their picks from the main card of UFC 285 before their chat with unbeaten Shavkat Rakhmonov and his translator. While Shavkat admits that a fight against Khamzat Chimaev would be an entertaining matchup between two undefeated beasts, the UFC's first-ever Kazakhstani fighter insists that he remains keenly focused on Saturday's fight against 7th-ranked welterweight Geoff Neal and taking fights that will inch him closer towards a title shot. Riding an impressive winning streak of accurately-placed bets in the UFC's first two months of 2023, Gianni “the Greek” caps off today's show with the rationale for his red-hot takes from the prelims on up to Saturday's highly-anticipated main event featuring heavyweights Jon Jones and Ciryl Gane.

Today's guest has been training in martial arts since the age of six. He says you name it, I have probably taken part in it.Jay Zeballos joins us to discuss what he believes is a true martial artist, his instruction style, what separates Jiu Jitsu from traditional martial arts, and his relationship with Jean Jacques Machado.Here is The RŌL Radio with instructor at Jean Jacques Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, author, podcaster, and the man Jean Jacques Machado has said is his left and right arm, Professor Jay Zeballos.http://www.therolradio.comhttps://www.instagram.com/therolradio/https://www.facebook.com/therolradio/https://jeanjacquesmachado.com/https://jeanjacquesmachado.com/instructors/jay-zeballos/https://www.instagram.com/jayzeballos/https://www.instagram.com/no_gi_required/Episode Highlights: 5:20 A Healthy Purge12:04 Belief Clings Faith Lets Go14:18 Only Give the Student Enough22:27 Embrace the Belt or Run from It32:40 I'm Gonna Get My Butt Whipped but It Will Be   Worth It38:04 Finding Jean Jacques49:11 If I Can Do It You Can Do It1:00:08 You're Born With a Superpower1:13:04 I Have to Give It Away1:15:42 Ken Gabrielson's Question

On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim and Matt are joined by a special guest co-host in Tristar Gym owner and head coach Firas Zahabi. With UFC 285 right around the corner, Firas explains why he thinks the main event between Jon Jones and Ciryl Gane for the vacant heavyweight title is as mouthwatering of a matchup as the recent Fight of the Year candidate put on by pound-for-pound kings Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 284. With Tatiana Suarez successfully bouncing back in the win column on Saturday for the first time in her 1,358-day layoff, Firas explains why the 32-year-old's 2nd-round submission win over women's flyweight Montana De La Rosa proved she can return to the top of women's MMA and have a Khabib Nurmagomedov-like reign in the women's strawweight division. Finally, Jim takes Matt and Firas on a stroll down memory lane of the years the two spent on opposite ends of the iconic welterweight rivalry between Matt and Zahabi-trained fighter Georges St-Pierre.

The UFC crew at WZIP Sports is all knotted up in their predictions going into UFC 285: Jones vs. Gane. UFC 285 has one of the most anticipated main events in UFC history as one of the greatest to ever do it returns for the first time in three years. With two title fights and many potential future title challengers on this card, you won't want to miss WZIP Sports breakdown of what to expect on the main card!

With three days until the UFC Fight Night: Krylov vs. Spann card kicks off, Matt and Jim are joined by two fighters from Saturday's fight card in women's flyweight Tatiana Suarez and light heavyweight headliner Nikita Krylov.Tatiana talks about how maintaining an optimistic mindset throughout her string of serious injuries over the past four years has kept her in great spirits as she seeks to end her 1,358-day layoff with a victory over Montana De La Rosa in a fight contested at a 125-pound weight limit instead of her usual 115-pound strawweight limit.With some help here and there from his translator, Nikita Krylov assesses the state of the light heavyweight division he competes in and previews his upcoming fight against Ryan Spann in the Ukrainian light heavyweight's first-ever main event as a UFC fighter.Finally, Jim and Matt weigh in on the matchups on Saturday's fight card with some predictions for the main event and a few other bouts.

 Matt opens the show by congratulating Jens on his recent induction into the UFC Hall of Fame's Class of 2023, and together the two take a stroll down memory lane to the early days of the UFC's compelling history. As the guys reflect on their unique experiences coaching and fighting on The Ultimate Fighter, they dish their thoughts on what to expect from Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler's upcoming stint as coaches on the 31st season of the show. The guys are then joined by featherweight Jamall Emmers, who talks about how the strong two-way relationship between he and his coaches helped guide him from an 18-month absence from the cage to a victory on Saturday night over a previously unbeaten Khusein Askhabov on the UFC Fight Night: Andrade vs. Blanchfield undercard. Jamall rounds out the interview by fondly looking back at how his younger days of watching rented VHS tapes from Blockbuster of old MMA fights with his father and brother led him to transition into fighting. As Matt and Jens wrap up the show with their key takeaways from Saturday's fight card, Matt offers his take on whether women's flyweight Erin Blanchfield's dominant main event win over Jéssica Andrade is reason enough to believe the 23-year-old has the skills to dethrone champion Valentina Shevchenko.

Islam Makhachev vs. Alexander Volkanovski was a thriling contest where both fighters flipped everyone's expectations arse-over-tits: Mak did very well in striking, and Volko looked extremely formidable in wrestling. It was a razor-close fight where both competitors found a fair share of eye-catching moments of success. Iggy does a deep dive into the moment-to-moment exchanges and techniques performed by both fighters, and talks about points of improvement, tactics and just stuff to watch out for in the potential rematch in general. He also touches upon some of the promotional weirdness surrounding the fight, and the unfortunate situation in which Islam Makhachev may have found himself in a Rocky Balboa-esque Mason Dixon-type conundrum when it comes to the narratives surrounding the fight.

On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim and Matt are joined by two friends of the show in bantamweight contender Merab Dvalishvili and guest co-host Sayif Saud to talk all things UFC 284. Merab tells the guys about where he stands in training camp with a little less than a month until his upcoming fight against Petr Yan. Having already seen what Yan looked like against fellow Serra-Longo fighter Aljamain Sterling in a pair of bantamweight championship fights, Matt explains why he thinks Merab is an even tougher stylistic matchup for Yan than Sterling was. The topic then shifts to the all-time classic battle in the UFC 284 main event featuring featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and lightweight champion Islam Makhachev. As Jim sings the praises of City Kickboxing's risk-taking champions, Sayif explains why the UFC's pound-for-pound number 1 and 2 fighters can confidently feel like they raised their stock on Saturday night. Sayif mixes in some talk about Ciryl Gane's matchup against Jon Jones at UFC 285 before wrapping up the show with why he thinks his fighter Brandon Moreno's dreams of defending his flyweight championship in Mexico City against rival Alexandre Pantoja would make for an electric co-main event to Alexander Volkanovski vs. Mexico's Yair Rodríguez following Yair's interim featherweight title win on Saturday night against Josh Emmett.

Professor Roy Harris received some wonderful advice from one of his early martial arts instructors. Roy was told that whenever he went into something new, he should empty his cup. This means forgetting what you know and having an open mind to take in new information without any preconceived notions.When trying something new or being presented with a different view, can you empty your cup?www.rolacademy.tv 30% discount with ROLRADIO code at checkout.

On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim and Matt are joined by three guests — actor Wes Chatham, heavyweight contender Curtis Blaydes, and gambling analyst Gianni “The Greek” Karalis. Chatham begins the interview by discussing how his passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu led him to earning a purple belt. As the topic shifts to all things science fiction, Wes opens up about the six seasons he spent acting on Amazon Prime's The Expanse — one of Matt's favorite Sci-Fi shows. The guys are then quickly joined by Curtis Blaydes, who assesses his status as a contender in a rapidly-changing heavyweight division now that Francis Ngannou is no longer with the UFC. With Jon Jones vs. Ciryl Gane locked in for a vacant heavyweight title fight at UFC 285 this March and Stipe Miocic rumored to fight the winner,  Blaydes dishes his thoughts on how he matches up in hypothetical eliminator fights against both Serghei Spivac and Sergei Pavlovich following both of their impressive wins. Jim and Matt wrap up the show by inviting Gianni the Greek on for an inside look at how the gambling analyst separates emotion from his fight predictions ahead of Saturday's UFC 284 card. As the guys reveal their picks for Saturday's main and co-main event, Gianni reveals if lightweight champion Islam Makhachev's status as a sizable betting favorite makes betting on him to beat featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski worth betting on at all.
