Charlie “The Spaniard” Brenneman went from junior-high Spanish teacher and college wrestler to Pros vs. Joes champion and UFC fighter. In this episode of the MMA History Podcast, hosts Joey Venti and Mike Davis sit down with Brenneman for an uplifting deep dive into one of the more unlikely paths in mixed martial arts.Brenneman shares how boredom with teaching led him to answer a flyer for Pros vs. Joes, win the competition, and chase competition further into MMA. He recounts early amateur and pro fights in the Northeast, training alongside future stars like Eddie Alvarez, Frankie Edgar, and Chris Liguori, the eye-socket injury that nearly derailed him, and the grind of balancing grad school, local cards, and constant travel between gyms. The conversation builds to his short-notice UFC co-main-event victory over a surging Rick Story—a real-life Rocky moment Dana White himself highlighted—before the career-defining collision with Anthony “Rumble” Johnson.Now a professional speaker who brings lessons of resilience, perseverance, and choices to schools, businesses, and prisons, Brenneman reflects on the mentors, the grind, and the mindset that carried a regular guy from the classroom to the Octagon.Fellow historians, this is one of the more positive and inspiring stories we’ve told. Let us know what you think in the comments.

This week on the MMA History Podcast episode 341, hosts Joey Venti and the MMA Detective Mike Davis sit down with two-time UFC welterweight title challenger, Hollywood stuntman and actor Frank Trigg for a raw, unfiltered look at the chaotic early days of mixed martial arts. Trigg shares how he coached a talented high school wrestler named Kid Yamamoto in Phoenix before the Japanese star became a Pride FC standout, the real reasons Yamamoto was deported, and the explosive behind-the-scenes fallout from the infamous Rickson Gracie versus Rico Chiapparelli showdown that got Chiapparelli uninvited from major grappling circles. From his time with Real American Wrestling alongside the likes of Randy Couture and Dan Henderson, the first Abu Dhabi Combat Club tournament against Renzo Gracie, early Japan promotions including Vale Tudo Japan against Jean Jacques Machado, Pride Bushido commentating, and the cutthroat realities of 1990s fight money and worked matches, Trigg delivers stories and details few others have ever heard.

Isaac Vallie-Flagg: From Street Fights & Jackson’s Gym to UFC, Strikeforce & Sobriety | MMA History Podcast #340Fellow historians, this is one that should never have happened. Isaac Vallie-Flagg had no wrestling pedigree, no karate or boxing background—just a tough kid from Michigan who liked to fight. He moved to Albuquerque, trained under Tate Fletcher and Alberto Crane, then walked into the golden era of Jackson’s MMA and somehow made it all the way to Strikeforce and the UFC.In this raw, unfiltered episode, Isaac sits down with the MMA Detective Mike Davis and Joey Venti and lays out the full story. He talks about the early street-fight days and the punk-rock New Mexico scene, then describes what it was like training as the perpetual nail alongside Nate Marquardt, Mike Van Arsdale, Melvin Guillard, Leonard Garcia, Cub Swanson, Joe “Daddy” Stevenson, Cowboy Cerrone and the rest of the Jackson-Wink murderer’s row. He recounts the chaotic Dominican Republic card where the entire lineup got stiffed, his Strikeforce debut against Brian Melancon (the hardest hitter he ever faced), the career-defining win over Gesias “JZ” Cavalcante, the legendary Yves Edwards fight, and going to war with Takanori Gomi while deep in opiate withdrawal and cutting weight at the same time.
Isaac is brutally honest about the physical and mental hell of kicking opioids while making weight for UFC fights, the difference between a hard partier and a true addict, and what recovery has taught him about grace, trauma, and becoming a better man. This is not a prison interview—it’s a hard-earned happy ending from a fighter who refused to quit.If you’ve ever wondered what the real “punk rock days” of MMA looked and felt like inside one of the greatest gyms of all time, this episode delivers.Like, comment, and subscribe for more interviews and deep dives into the men who built this sport.

From surviving one of the darkest childhoods imaginable to becoming one of the most feared knockout artists in the UFC, this is the remarkable and unflinching life story of Drew McFedries.
In Episode #339 of the MMA History Podcast, MMA Detective Mike Davis and Joey Venti sit down with former UFC middleweight contender Drew McFedries for one of the most powerful and honest interviews in the show’s history. Drew opens up about growing up in a home destroyed by addiction and prostitution, where drug dealers and violent strangers constantly came through the house. As a young boy he became the protector for his younger brother and two little sisters, learning early that if he could not fight, the people he loved would pay the price. He discusses his mother’s murder, being stabbed himself, and how every statistic suggested his life should have ended in prison, addiction, or an early grave.Instead, Drew walked into a gym and transformed into a devastating striker. The conversation explores his early days at the legendary Miletich Fighting Systems, the brutal sparring sessions, training alongside Matt Hughes and Robbie Lawler, and his rapid rise through Midwest tournaments. He shares stories from his first fights, the Lee Murray bout with no formal training, his battle with Crohn’s disease that sidelined him for nearly a year, and his UFC debut on just 17 days notice against Alessio Sakara. Drew also reflects on key moments with fighters like Nate Quarry, Claude Patrick, Steve Dao, Tim Sylvia in his corner, and the unique challenges strikers faced in getting booked.Beyond the cage, this episode delves into deeper themes of survival, making different choices than the environment around him, family trauma, fatherhood considerations, and finding peace later in life through fishing, biking, and quiet reflection.This is far more than a typical fighter interview — it is a raw masterclass in resilience, personal accountability, and turning darkness into drive.Guest: Drew McFedriesEpisode: #339Fellow historians, welcome back to the only podcast 100 percent dedicated to preserving mixed martial arts history.Like and subscribe for more in-depth MMA stories direct from the fighters who lived them.

Women's MMA pioneer Jen Case (Dr. JenJitsu) joins Mike Davis for a rare, in-depth interview on the MMA History Podcast.Jen went 4-1 as a pro, finishing every victory by submission — including two wins over fellow pioneer Julie Kedzie (armbar and triangle). From a small Kansas farming community, she went from self-defense classes and karate to learning Jiu-Jitsu from Mario Sperry VHS tapes, competing in men’s brackets just to face other women, and helping lay the foundation for women’s MMA when the sport barely wanted them around.This episode dives into the raw realities of the early days: training in gyms where the guys tried to make her quit, $100 purses, paying to fight, long drives to shows, Hook & Shoot battles, facing tough opponents like Greta Hicks and Erin Toughill, wild backstage scenes, and the no-nonsense mindset of that era. After an ACL tear, Jen shifted focus to academics and built an elite Jiu-Jitsu career as a purple belt Worlds champion, brown belt Pan Ams winner, multiple-time Masters double gold medalist, and ADCC West Coast Trials competitor — while earning her PhD in Human Nutrition & Performance. She now coaches at Charlotte Jiu-Jitsu.If you love the true history of women’s MMA, the pioneers who beat the doors down, or how Jiu-Jitsu can transform a life, this conversation is essential.Subscribe for more deep-dive interviews with the legends who built MMA.

MMA History Podcast #332: Marcus Davis "The Irish Hand Grenade" – TUF 2, UFC Wars, Supernatural Eye Healing & Street Life
In this explosive episode, we sit down with former UFC welterweight contender and boxing standout Marcus Davis, the Irish Hand Grenade. Marcus delivers one of our most raw and unforgettable interviews of the year, opening up about his brutal upbringing in Maine, brushes with the juvenile justice system, family trauma, and the darker characters from the boxing world — including surprising mafia ties and Whitey Bulger connections.
He details his casting for The Ultimate Fighter Season 2, a near career-ending torn retina that miraculously healed in what he describes as a supernatural event (complete with Dana White's stunned reaction), his transition from boxer to complete MMA fighter, and his exciting early UFC run. Marcus also shares wild TUF house stories with Jorge Gurgel, Melvin Guillard, Rashad Evans, and more — plus insights on training with Matt Hughes, Rich Franklin, and his intense rivalry with "The Muscle."
Marcus recounts his rough childhood spent in survival mode, how he broke the generational cycle for his kids, his boxing roots and early MMA journey with Tim Sylvia, the full TUF 2 casting drama and house life, his UFC debut fights, shoulder injuries, and the seven-fight win streak that followed. He also dives into encounters with organized crime figures and the survival instincts that kept him alive through it all.
This is Part 1 — Marcus has already agreed to Part 2, so drop your questions in the comments (he reads them!).If you love raw MMA history, behind-the-scenes UFC stories, fighter comebacks, and untold tales from the golden era, this is essential listening.

MMA History Podcast #328: Rudy Silva Prison Interview – The Cocaine King of San Diego
In this raw and unfiltered prison interview, former fight promoter, City Boxing and Alliance MMA gym owner, and self-proclaimed Cocaine King of San Diego Rudy Silva opens up to Mike Davis like never before.
Rudy details his traumatic childhood, early days at City Boxing alongside Brandon Vera, Dean Lister, KJ Nunes, and Tyrone Glover, launching Alliance MMA with Vera, and his deep connections in the San Diego MMA scene. He speaks candidly about his relationships with Dominic Cruz, Jocko Willink, Dan Bilzerian, Justin Bieber, and the chaotic lifestyle that pulled him into the Tijuana Cartel world.
From gym politics and embezzlement drama to cartel dealings, robberies, a high-profile nightclub stabbing, bipolar struggles mixed with heavy cocaine use, family estrangement, and life in federal prison while appealing his sentence, Rudy holds nothing back.
This is a gripping, no-holds-barred look at the dark underbelly of early San Diego MMA — sex, drugs, violence, power, and regret from someone who lived it all at the highest levels of both the fight game and the streets.
A must-listen episode of The Other Side of the Cage prison interview series.

Jared Shaw returns to the MMA History Podcast for his fourth and most revealing appearance yet, pulling back the curtain on the spectacular rise and sudden collapse of Elite XC. As the promotion’s Vice President during its groundbreaking CBS era, Shaw was at the center of the Kimbo Slice versus Seth Petruzelli fight that many still blame for sinking the company overnight.
In this unfiltered conversation with Mike Davis and Joey Venti, he sets the record straight on the real reasons behind the fall, the internal power struggles, the fight-fixing rumors, and the fighters who could have built an empire.From the Cyborg debut that stole the show to the Gina Carano era, the frantic final months, and the untold stories of what happened when the lights went out, Shaw delivers raw insight into one of MMA’s most controversial chapters and the golden opportunities the sport lost forever. This is the definitive inside account of how close Elite XC came to challenging the UFC—and why it all ended so abruptly.0:00 MMA history podcast intro 0:32 Joey Venti’s guest introduction0:52 interview start 0:54 boxing memorabilia 6:19 passion for scouting talent early 7:49 concerns going into “Unfinished business” event 16:16 issues with manger Mark Dion 17:55 negotiations with KJ Noons 20:28 treating fighters and teammates fair21:23 speaking to the press for EliteXC25:42 Cris Cyborg vs Shayna Baszler 31:30 early womens MMA compared to today’s 32:36 Shayna Baszler going to WWE33:17 Jake Shields vs Nick Thompson 36:03 Nick Diaz vs Thomas Denny 40:06 Robbie Lawler vs Scott smith 40:30 SEC filing needed $3.8M to keep doors open 43:13 boxing promoters going extinct 45:50 MMA and boxing pay scales 48:24 Chuck Champion announces $1M in funding 49:50 Announced a partnership with Affliction 51:32 experience with Todd Beard 52:38 EliteXC Heat event55:45 Ken Shamrock and Kimbo slice weigh ins 58:04 phone call about Ken Shamrock injury 1:00:37 realizing Ken Shamrock did not want to fight 1:03:14 offering Seth Petruzelli fight with Kimbo slice 1:05:23 Seth Petruzelli false claims of fight fixing 1:06:59 Ken shamrock upset at Jared Shaws reaction 1:09:15 offering extra money to Kimbo Slice 1:11:39 Benji Radach vs Ninja Rua 1:12:19 Gina Carano vs Kelly Kobold1:12:33 Andrei Arlovski vs Roy Nelson 1:13:00 Jake Shields vs Paul Daley1:13:55 Kimbo Slice vs Seth Petruzelli announcement 1:15:41 issues during Kimbo Slice walk out 1:17:53 viewership for EliteXC Heat 1:20:17 allegedly attacking Dan Freeman 1:21:18 Frank Shamrock asking for Kimbo Slice fight 1:25:13 reaction to Kimbo Slice loss 1:26:00 aftermath from EliteXC heat event 1:27:39 Seth Petruzelli infamous radio interview 1:28:22 thoughts on TJ Thompson1:31:18 being told not to acknowledge negative press 1:33:18 issues with manager Kim Couture1:38:44 Scouting EliteXC ring girls 1:40:19 Kim Courure vs Alexis Dufresne1:42:14 realizing EliteXC is finished 1:42:42 announcing the closing of EliteXC1:44:18 bids for buying StrikeForce 1:45:30 EliteXC being the last true competitor to UFC 1:49:03 MVP vs UFC 1:52:17 interview wrap up 1:54:19 outroFollow the MMA History Team on Instagram: MMA Detective Mike Davis @mikedavis632 Co Host Joey Venti @aj_ventitreRecords Keeper- Andrew Mendoza @ambidexstressSocial Media Manager Andy Campbell @martial_mindset_Thumbnails Julio Macedo @juliosemacentoInstagram https://www.instagram.com/mmahistorypodcast?igsh=aHVweHdncXQycHBy&utm_source=qrSpotify https://open.spotify.com/show/3q8KsfqrSQSjkdPLkdtNWb?si=aL3D5Y3aTDi-PQZdweWL8gApple Podcast MMA History PodcastYouTube https://youtube.com/@MMAHistoryPodcast?si=bj1RBXTZ2X82tv_JOutro song: Power - https://tunetank.com/t/2gji/1458-powerMike - The MMA Detective - @mikedavis632 Cash App - $mikedavis1231Venmo - Mike-Davis-63ZELLE: Cutthroatmma@gmail.com / ph#: 773-491-5052 Thank You for your support

In this special international episode, UFC veteran Xavier Foupa-Pokam — known as Professor X — takes listeners on his unforgettable road to the UFC. A true pioneer of French MMA and one of the earliest members of the Snake Team under trainer Cyril Diabate, Foupa-Pokam details his transition from traditional karate to Muay Thai and mixed martial arts in the early 2000s, when the sport was illegal in France. Fighters trained in secret, competed under the guise of other disciplines, and often faced law enforcement interference at events.
With a professional career spanning more than 50 bouts and a verified record of 32-22-0, Professor X became one of the most traveled fighters of his era, competing primarily as the B-side in promotions across Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, and beyond. He shares stories from legendary events including Cage Rage in the UK, Jungle Fight in Brazil, and international tournaments, as well as his preparation with Dan Henderson’s Team Quest in the United States to mimic Anderson Silva. The conversation covers his UFC appearances at UFC 97 against Denis Kang and UFC 98 against Drew McFedries, plus memorable matchups against Paul Daley, Hayato Sakurai, Paulo Coelho, and more.
Foupa-Pokam also discusses the challenges of building French MMA from the ground up, the outlaw atmosphere of the early days, his 11 amateur fights before turning pro, and insights into fellow Cameroonian-French fighter Francis Ngannou. This episode highlights the passion, resilience, and global experiences that defined one of MMA’s most dedicated journeymen.

Tank Abbott's WCW years in Part 2 of our exclusive interview on the
MMA History Podcast. From negotiating with Eric Bischoff over Vince McMahon, training at the Power Plant under legends like Paul Orndorff and Dusty Rhodes, to wild angles like the jacket-on-a-pole brawl with Big Al (yes, that knife moment at SuperBrawl 2000), Tank spills the unfiltered truth on backstage politics, his near-title run, and clashes with icons like Goldberg and Sid Vicious.
Fact: Tank debuted in WCW on December 13, 1999, as a legit UFC heavyweight (with wins over Yoji Anjo and Hugo Duarte) brought in to feud with Goldberg, but navigated a rollercoaster of mutinies and mishaps until his 2000 release.

MMA Docu Series
Dive into the incredible story of Marco Ruas, the barefoot Brazilian who stepped into the UFC octagon before the sport even had a name. Often called the forgotten pioneer, Ruas arrived at UFC 7 in 1995 with a revolutionary well-rounded game—blending Muay Thai devastation, judo throws, jiu-jitsu mastery, and luta livre grappling—that shattered the era of pure specialists. Watch as he dismantles opponents like Larry Cureton with early heel hooks, outstrikes Remco Pardoel, and methodically chops down the massive Paul Varelans with those legendary low kicks that echoed through the arena.
We explore his gritty Rio origins, training under legends like Oswaldo Alves and Luis Alves, his vale tudo roots, the rivalry with the Gracies that never fully materialized, his dominant UFC 7 tournament win that proved versatility was the future, later battles against names like Oleg Taktarov and Maurice Smith, and the heartbreaking what-if matchup with Don Frye that fans still debate. Beyond the cage, Ruas's lasting impact shines through as a coach—he mentored Pedro Rizzo, whose devastating leg kicks carried Ruas's influence forward to shape fighters like Jose Aldo.
If you're into MMA history, early UFC pioneers, or the evolution from vale tudo to modern mixed martial arts, this mini documentary uncovers why Ruas was truly ahead of his time—the first complete fighter who forced the sport to evolve.

Ep 316 EliteXC Internal Chaos & CBS - Jared Shaw
Jared Shaw joins the MMA History Podcast, delivering the 3rd episode of our multi episode Elite XC series.
Shaw breaks down the CBS primetime peak numbers (6.51 million viewers for Kimbo vs.
James Thompson).
The start of what is considered the “gold rush” of WMMA - Gina Carano's pivotal win over Caitlyn Young ;, Robbie Lawler vs. Scott Smith stealing the show, Nick Diaz's "Don't be scared, homie" moment, & the internal power struggles within the company.
On the controversial side… Gary Shaw’s unceremonious departure, gaming the stock market… this episode is insane
If you think that this episode is wild… just wait for the 4th drop when everything implodes.

Ep 310 EliteXC The Run - Jared Shaw
Following the huge buzz from Part 1
(#308: "The Rise of EliteXC"), Jared returns for an unfiltered deep dive into the promotion's explosive two-year run that seriously challenged the UFC.
Hear the insider stories: nearly signing Brock Lesnar post-K-1, flying Kimbo Slice to LA with a briefcase of cash to lock in MMA's first viral superstar (his
43-second KO of Tank Abbott drew massive Showtime ratings), Gina Carano's breakthrough win over Tonya Evinger at Uprising in Hawaii (despite her tough weight cut), and the bold events that pushed women's MMA forward while building legitimacy with fighters like Robbie Lawler and Nick Diaz.
Shaw opens up on the highs (CBS primetime deals bringing MMA to millions), the internal chaos, financial struggles, and the dramatic 2008 collapse after the Heat event
controversy. Plus, personal reflections like his life-changing open-heart surgery at 19.
This is authentic MMA history straight from the VP who lived it-raw, revealing, and essential for any fight fan.

John Donehue started his journey with Bill Wallace and became one of Gene LeBell’s original 4 Black Belts.

John has NOT given an interview in over a decade and his opinions along with an unapologetic approach makes this one of the most raw interviews that we have ever recorded.

Igor Zinoviev made a name for himself at Extreme Fighting 1 when he defeated Mario Sperry. Zinoviev went on to Fight Frank Sgamrock for a world title and quietly disappeared from the world of combat sports.

Mark Coleman Tribute To Kevin Randleman
This is an older recording that we thought would fit right in with this podcast
There is no more fitting tribute to Kevin Randleman than that of friend and mentor Mark Coleman. Mark was inspired to speak about Kevin's life and what resulted is nothing short of a mini-DEEPDIVE on Kevin's Hall of Fame career. Thank you Mark.
Mark's tribute is unscripted, barely edited and raw. Just like Kevin.
R.I.P. Kevin Christopher Randleman (August 10, 1971 – February 11, 2016) – gone, but not forgotten.

Renato BABALU Sobral Deep Dive Ep 1Renato Babalu Sobral is as old school as a fighter gets.
Babalu takes us on his journey from fighting in no rules bouts in Brazil to his transition to living in the United States. Babalu is an early Marco Ruas prodigy and a proud representative of the Luta Livre system. This interview is a wild ride and it includes long time teammate, former roommate and good friend Erik Apple.
Babalu does NOT give interviews and it took us over a year to finally get him to commit; Erik Apple's relationship with Babalu allowed us to ask questions about subject material that Babalu would normally balk at answering.
This interview is something that all of us fans should be proud of

OnassisParungao #UFC #UFCHistory
We found Onassis Parungao in Connecticut, teaching Kung-fu and Tai-Chi, arts that he has dedicated his life to. In the world of traditional martial arts, Parungao is set apart and associated with MMA because of the following:
In 1995, he fought an alternate fight at UFC 7, defeating Francesco "Fang" Maturi. The tournament held together and was won by Marco Ruas, but Parungao was standing by to jump in.
In those days, traditional martial artists were known to shun the UFC. You can count on just 1 or 2 hands the number of traditional martial artists who stepped up to test themselves. Parungao is undefeated in the UFC at 1-0. Though it is one fight, very few can make that statement.
Before deciding to discontinue in his fighting career, Parungao also traveled to Russia and participated in the notorious 32-man Absolute tournament that was won by Renzo Gracie student Ricardo Morais. Parungao went 1-1 that night.
Onassis Parungao goes one on one with Miguel Iturrate of the #LytesOut team. This one is for the hardcores...
You can visit Onassis at Connecticut's Cheng Yee (Righteous) Kung Fu School.

The LOP crew interviews historian Scott Burt. Scott runs the Bare Knuckle Boxing Hall of Fame in Upstate New York and is the active President of the legendary Police Gazzette periodical.

Sullivan trained at William Muldoon's upstate NY farm for his most famous bare knuckle fight... this one is a fight talk gem. By the way, Scott Burt calls the Muldoon gym home nowadays.

Mark Coleman - Before The UFC DEEPDIVE (ep. 115)
In this DEEPDIVE the MMA Detective Mike Davis sits down with UFC legend Mark Coleman to talk about his fighting career before the UFC. Coleman is still passionate about his encounters with Mike Overmyer, the town tough guy. Unedited interview, Mark Coleman in the raw.
All respect to Mike Overmyer who has passed away.
Coleman loves the podcast but it is not easy to get him pinned down. He actually explains why he is so hard to tie down in the opening minutes of this classic interview.
Shout out to Jonah Williams for the assist on camera.

GaryGoodridge #TomErikson #UFC
Gary Goodridge Career DEEPDIVE w/Tom Erikson (ep. 114)
Gary Goodridge is a Canadian MMA pioneer who was diagnosed with CTE back in 2012. We didn´t know what to expect in this one but Gary took to the LytesOut format right away. Gary acknowledges his CTE but he is not letting it get him down and he comes across very upbeat and not bitter at all.
Gary also reveals he is looking to bring MMA to Kenya and has a date of December 10th in the works for Nairobi.
A HUGE thank you to special guest Tom Erikson, who sits in to assist the LytesOut crew, so you get "Big Daddy" with "The Big Cat." Glad this was an interview and not a tag team match!

Vladimir Matyushenko Career DEEPDIVE (ep. 113)
Vladimir Matyushenko was part of the "Real American Wrestlers" (RAW Team) in the early days. His story starts with his defection to the United States after a wrestling meet where he defeated the legendary David Schultz. Once in the USA, it was his rivals in the wrestling community that took him in and led him to the world of fighting and MMA.
We avoid politics and war talk, and the results are many of us are getting to know a real life superhero for the first time. Thank you Vlad for all the stories and the honestly.

SteveNelson #MMAPioneer #TexasShootfighting
Steve Nelson - MMA Pioneer Career DEEPDIVE
Back in the late 990's Texas was a hotbed for "Shootfighting" and that was because of one man - MMA Pioneer Steve Nelson. An Oklahoma State wrestler, Nelson comes from a family of professional wrestlers and his USWF promotion operating out of Amrillo ws at one point a bigger attraction than the UFC. Though he went 0-2 against the legendary Ralph Gracie, Nelson was at the forefront of the Wrestling vs BJJ rivalry and he was a pioneer of the lower weight classes back when the UFC was basically a heavyweight show. Meet Steve Nelson - a humble, lifelong martial artist who should not be forgotten.

Dave Herman - Career DEEPDIVE (ep. 107)
Heavyweight Dave Herman came up working his way through the Indy grind. He arrived in the UFC with a gaudy 20-2 record, with experience in Japan and Bellator. He won his UFC debut but dropped 4 fights in a row in the big show. Despite still having heaps of potential, Herman was done by 30 years old in the fight game...
The last time you saw him, he was making the news for an incident that saw a police officer taze him. That warrant is still active...

Travis Lutter - MMA Career DEEPDIVE
Travis Lutter is not someone fight fans have gotten to know. The introverted Lutter is a 2x North American Abu Dhabi Qualifier champion and he was the winner of the UFC's The Ultimate Fighter Season 4.
After winning TUF, he earned a title shot against the great Anderson Silva. Though he was ridiculed for not making weight, Lutter had the all-time great Silva mounted.
Rarely interviewed, Lutter gave us three hours of no-nonsense, honest talk. You have probably judged Lutter before, now get to know him right here on the #LytesOut Podcast.

Fasten your seat belts for the incredible and inspiring story of Jeremy Stephens.
Stephens is still just 35 years old and he is looking forward to fighting in the PFL's $1million tournament after a decade and a half with the UFC.
This is Jeremy taking us back to his days paying dues, coming up. Making the UFC at 20-21 years old, he takes us back to his road BEFORE the big show. Jeremy was so pumped up once we got started that he spent the second half of the interview up and shadowboxing!

The Old School credentials are in full effect as we are joined by Enson Inoue for the LytesOut DEEPDIVE. Enson has built up a large presence on the internet over the years, so it is going to be hard to get unheard stories... I can tell you one thing, however - Enson and Lytle clicked and Enson was clearly having fun during this walk down memory lane. Our hats off and a HUGE thank you to the man who EARNED the nickname "Yamato Damashi."

BOB MEYROWITZ - 1st UFC Owner DEEPDIVE
In 2001, the Fertitta Brothers and Dana White took over the UFC. The company had started in 1993 under the direction of music executive Bob Meyrowitz before he sold to the Vegas based ZUFFA.
The Lytes Out Podcast caught up with Bob Meyrowitz for one of our patented DEEPDIVE interviews
He states it early on in the interview - the Fertitta's, Dana, the hosts of the podcast and every fan out there got to ENJOY the early days of the sport. Bob was fighting for the sport's life ALONE since day 1 and he did this for more than eight years. Thank you Bob, for the interview and for fighting the good fight against very powerful forces.

UFC #ScottFerrozzo #UFCHistory
The UFC was a different animal in the 1990's, back when Scott "The Pitbull" Ferrozzo stepped into the octagon to operate. A solid wrestler with a 117-7 amateur record and a reputation as a tough guy on the streets, Ferrozzo saw one of the earlier events and said "that is for me." He made his debut at UFC 8 in Puerto Rico in February of 1996 and a year later, at UFC 12 he fought his last fight. Short and explosive describe his career, and we are joined by the man himself to talk about it....

SethBaczynski #UFC #MMAHistory
UFC veteran Seth Baczynski fought his first fights in the rugged Southwest scene of Arizona and New Mexico. a football and basketball player, Baczynski stepped into his first fights with ZERO training and progressed from there all the way to the UFC.
Known as the "Polish Pistola", Baczynski owns UFC wins over the likes of Matt "The Immortal" Brown and Neil Magny among others. We went through his early career before Seth had to bail out and go to work. What we have is the real Serth Baczynski, honest and forthcoming.

MarkSchultz #UFC #Wrestling
Olympic wrestling Gold Medalist Mark Schultz joins the LytesOut crew for a look at his UFC 9 appearance where he faced Gary Goodridge. A highly anticipated return to the UFC didn't happen and his flirtations with Antonio Inoki didn't work out. Oh yeah, we also talk wrestling and the infamous showdown with Rickson Gracie...
No Foxcatcher and no real talk on his brother Dave. This is talking to Mark Schultz about his fight career and we feel he enjoyed himself. Thanks Mark for joining us!

IanHeinisch #UFC #UFCHistory
Ian Heinisch is scheduled for a UFC return on February of 2022. The active UFC middleweight stopped in for a chat with the Lytes Out crew and let's just say that Ian felt like talking!
We assure you Ian has a back story like few others. A high school wrestling champion who was expelled in his senior year, his life took a turn where he was an international fugitive and spent a few years in jail overseas and in the USA.
Rumor is there are several companies involved in developing an on-screen interpretation of his life. Ian give Chris and company a FULL preview. Thanks to Ian!

FiftyFightClub member Drew Fickett joins Chris Lytle and company to take us through his early career in the Mixed Martial Arts. Fickett cut his teeth in the same Arizona/NM scene that produced the likes of Diego Sanchez, JJ wiz Gustavo Dantas and many others - but Drew was there first.
Fickett has a reputation as a bit of a wild man, and he does few sit down interviews. Drew is always going to be honest and speak his mind, it is just getting him to do it - TY Drew.

JonJones #UFC #UFCHistory
UFC star Jon Jones has made the news again and for all the wrong reasons.
In this clip, MMA Detective Mike Davis takes the LytesOut crew and our listeners through some of the major Jon Jones incidents throughout the years. The man known as "Bones" made his MMA debut back in 2008 and in 2012 came his first arrest, when he crashed his Bentley in his upstate NY hometown.
We go through the timeline and discuss where the cards may fall for Jones in the near future. Fight talk.

Feared Cuban slugger Hector Lombard sat in with the #LytesOut team for a #DEEPDIVE that takes a look at the years he spent living and fighting in Australia. Hector embraced the career retrospective flavor of the interview and he wanted to talk.
Hector performed for Cuba at the Australian Olympic games in 2000 and he stayed behind and defected after the competition. This one is a wild ride from the very start!

Welcome back to the Midwest Grind, courtesy of Derrick Noble. We are joined by the rugged Illinois native to look over his #FiftyfightClub career.
Noble is one of the unsung heroes of those early days, as his list of opponents is a whose who of the era - and more than one of them went down to 'The Eraser."

Gray Maynard joins the LytesOut team for a look back at his standout fighting career.
Maynard crossed over from high level wrestling to MMA and he fought all but two of his career fights in the UFC. His trilogy with Frankie Edgar gave us a lightweight title fight for the ages and Maynard also fought a trio of fights against Nate Diaz. Despite competing at the highest level his entire life, Maynard takes us through his career from beginning to end. Uh, we went long on this one, thanks Gray for the time and the honesty.

Old School. If there was a picture in the dictionary next to the words "Old School" it very well may have a picture of Dave Menne next to it. In this incredible interview with the UFC's first middleweight champion, we talk only about the early days of Dave's career. The fact is, he had close to fifty fights in the 1990's alone.
We asked him about fights we thought were among his earliest and he thought about it and said the fights in the "cold house" were before. Cold house? Listen in for more from the eclectic Dave Menne.

The LytesOut Podcast had chance to nab Chicago fighting legend Shonie Carter - live!!! That's right, out very own MMA Detective Mike Davis, another Chicago native, sat down for a one on one with "Mr. International."
Shonie probably qualified for the #FiftyFightClub while we were still in the 1990's and here, Mike takes Shonie down memory lane as they discuss Shonie's early career. A must for the hardcore fans.

The "Big Cat" Tom Erikson made his fighting debut in 1996 at the tail end of a decorated wrestling career. Erikson was a wrestling coach at Purdue while he fought in "No Holds Barred" and the school in Northern Indiana became a hotbed for fighters. Erikson fought in Brazil, Japan and the United States in events that didn't require gloves and had virtually no rules or weight classes. Erikson excelled and there was a time where he was considered one of the toughest men on the planet.
Erikson now coaches at Duke University and he still trains and watches the modern sport of MMA. One of the most insightful interviews ever with one of the wrestlers who made early transition to the fight game.

Yves Edwards joined the LytesOut team for a #FiftyFightClub #DEEPDIVE.
Edwards, originally from the Bahamas, moved to Texas where he started into the Mixed Martial Arts while in his teens. Edwards fought early and often and he quickly established himself as one of the top lightweights in the world. Unfortunately, the UFC scrapped the lightweight division for several years and Edwards was never given the chance to fight for a UFC title. Since then, he has been almost universally acknowledged as the "uncrowned" light champion during the early years of Zuffa.
Here, you get the real Yves Edwards - funny, forthcoming and honest.
We couldn't finish his entire career, so this interview encompasses his rise and ends at the legendary UFC fight with Josh Thompson. Yves will be back for a part 2 in the very near future. Thanks Yves, as always, it was great just hanging out.

Jon Fitch stopped by the #LytesOut Podcast to discuss his career. Fitch was one of the top five welterweights in the world when he fought for the UFC, Bellator and World Series of Fighting.
But his road to the top was not easy nor was it a straight trajectory. Here, Mike Davis and Chris Lytle take Jon Fitch from his initiation into the sport while he was wrestling at Purdue University through the heights of fighting for the UFC. At times, the UFC isn't the lofty place it may seem. Fitch talks serious and honest. Thank you Jon.

Anders paid his dues in the fight game, fighting more than twenty amateur bouts for little to no pay a he learned how to fight on the job. Thankfully, Alabama and the southern United States are just the place to fight a lot for very little. Anders could not be held back and he is in the big show now - here at the #LOP he tells us how he got there -

Name the 1990's NHB fighter that fought on the first of John Perretti's Battlecade events, the first of Monte Cox's Extreme Challenge and the first of Indiana's legendary HOOKnSHOOT shows? If you answered Gary Myers, you would be correct.
We found Gary Myers in his Indiana home, looking great and ready to talk fights. Myers, a tried and true wrestler his whole life, found MMA when he was older and in his 30's. He competed in Brazil and Japan as well and here he is to remind us how it really was...

Former MMA Fighter Travis Fulton made the news this week. Apparently, he committed suicide while in police custody. He had accepted a guilty plea that would have seen him do 18 years for charges including child pornography.
In this clip, four MMA veterans who have known Travis Fulton since the 90's got together to talk on the #LytesOut Podcast. Manager/Promoter Monte Cox and Jeremy Horn joined the #LOP team for this one.
We talked about ignoring the subject and not giving Fulton anymore time. His life reckoning has already happened in the most ugly way. Now, we call for a true review of his MMA record.
Anyone in the business around the Midwest knows that Fulton's "official" record of more than 300 MMA fights is filled with fake fights and fights where Fulton chose his opponents. The fact is that this "Iron Man" persona was at least partially falsified and his MMA record needs to be looked at.
If you participated in such a fight with Fulton, contact us.
lytesoutpodcast@gmail.com
MMA and the business stood by for two decades while Fulton fraudulently "filled" his MMA record. Help remove the stain he left on the sport he supposedly loved. Thank you.

Women's MMA pioneer Tara LaRosa joined the #LytesOut Podcast for a #DEEPDIVE interview. LaRosa was one of the first women in the USA considered to be the #1 woman fighter in the country before the UFC adopted women's divisions.
With the UFC at first shunning women's divisions altogether and then only activating one weight class at a time, the path the women took to be in the sport of MMA and NHB is filled with as many landmines and unique stories. There is no one better to take us through the early days of the women's side of the sport than Tara Larosa.

The #LytesOut Podcast sat down with Spencer Fisher for a traditional #DEEPDIVE.
Few fighters have earned the title "crowd pleaser" like Fisher did during his decade long career. Since his retirement, Spencer's name also comes up from time to time around the subject of PTSD and head trauma.
We are happy to say we found Spencer looking good and ready to talk fights! We appreciate Spencer's honesty when it comes down to the subject of head trauma, and we think some of what he has to say should be a wake up call to the sport. Listen in to a warrior who left a little something in the octagon for all-time....
Thanks to Emily and the rest of the Fisher family as well.

Phil Baroni, the "New York Bad Ass" sat down with the #LOP for a #DEEPDIVE interview. we found Phil in shape, getting back to his roots in the NY area and off-camera, calling out boxer J'Leon Love for a boxing match. We go back through Phil's start in the toughman circuit to his stellar rise in MMA. We want to have Phil back, I get the feeling he held back on some stories lol.

The #LytesOut Team is back with another #DEEPDIVE with UFC stand-out Sam Stout. Our first #DEEPDIVE with a fighter from North of the Border, Stout fought in the UFC from March of 2006 to his retirement In August of 2015. "Hands of Stone" collected 8 UFC "fighter" bonuses during his career and he fought during the heyday of Canadian MMA.

Rob Kahn is a BJJ black belt under the legendary Royce Gracie.
Chris Lytle and Mike Davis of the #LytesOut Podcast take Rob Kahn deep in an interview where we go long!
As one of the first five black belts in America under Royce, Khan was there for much of the early days of JJ in the States. A wealth of knowledge, Kahn has gone on to be one of the foremost teachers and tacticians in JJ, but you know us, we like the old school stuff! Enjoy.

Talk about paying your dues. Travis Wiuff has an official record of exactly 100 fights and that doesn't count any of the fights he had coming up in Minnesota's "B" circuit.
Known for his quiet nature, Wiuff rarely gives three hour interviews, but we got him! We couldn't really cover his career fight by fight but we did hit a lot of the major bouts of his career. Wiuff has fought all over the world and as a heavyweight, he has often been called on to top the card.
Meet Travis Wiuff.

WaltHarris #UFC #UFCHistory
UFC Heavyweight Walt Harris hooked up with Chris Lytle and the #LOP crew on the road for this #DEEPDIVE interview. Harris, an Alabama native, has more than 20 fights that are not on his official record as he made his way up the ranks on the "B" circuit.
Still active, we expect Big Ticket back on the #LytesOut Podcast in the future, but we don't interview a lot of active fighters and this was a lot of fun!
Recorded in January of 2021 - Thanks to Big Walt. (Sound may buzz, apologies).

Now a practicing attorney, veteran MMA'er Nick Thompson logged more than fifty fights during his MMA career. Operating in the middleweight and welterweight division, Thompson fought a lot of the top names of the era, capturing the now defunct BodogFIGHT welterweight title with a defeat of Eddie Alvarez,
We talk to Thompson at length about his whole career here, though we do try to focus on the run he had in 2004-2005 where he was as active as any welterweight in the world. Meet the man who blows off heads of state to party with friends, Nick Thompson.

Chris Lytle and his #LytesOut crew are on hallowed MMA ground for this one as UFC founder Art Davie visited for one of our patented #DEEPDIVE interviews.
One of the founders and creators of the Ultimate Fighting Championships, Art takes us through the hectic months prior to UFC 1 on November 12, 1993. A lot of thought went into the modern "Kumite." Davie studied other attempts at mixed fighting - stating "Muhammad Ali vs Antonio Inoki was promoted by Vince McMahon Sr and was a box office flop."
Prepare and listen for full immersion into the very first days of the modern combat era.
**Sorry about the sound glitch at times, but Art really gave us time and was forthcoming - we had to put it up!

Veteran MMA fighter and coach Brian Geraghty sat down with the #LytesOut Podcast for more than two hours to talk fights and look back at his twelve year MMA career. Best known for his appearance on the UFC's "The Ultimate Fighter" TV show and as a member of Dave Strasser's Freestyle Academy in Wisconsin, Geraghty had a bit of a nomad's streak as well, and his list of teams and training partners is more diverse than we knew about. Over a hundred and fifty minutes and you will want more Brian Geraghty.

The #LytesOut Podcast recently caught up with Brazilian fighting legend Johil DeOliviera.
DeOliveira is now fifty two, but he still looks terrific and he was happy to give his first full length interview to an English audience. Like in the mid-1990's when he fought in Brazil's rugged Vale Tudo circuit, DeOliveira still proudly carries the flag of Budokan Luta Livre.
We go through long career, including his famous rivalry with Jose 'Pele' Landi and his infamous run in PRIDE in-depth.
But it all started for Johil when he was 7 years old, when he started training at his father's Luta Livre Academy. His father's school had been opened since the 1960's and his father's partner was Joao Ricardo, Johil's head trainer throughout his MMA career. Let him tell you the rest...
Special thanks to #FiftyFightClub member Carlo Prater for the BIG assist on this one.

Carlo Prater fought his first MMA fight in the late 1990's while he was in his teens. More than two decades later, this MMA veteran still embraces the grind.
We caught up with Carlo Prater at his home in Brasilia, Brasil where he continues to train and look for fights. At the #LOP we knew Carlo's unique background (He is half Brazilian and now speaks fluent Portugeuse) would make for an interesting interview, but we didn't realize Carlo is one of us - a fight historian!

Chris Lytle and the boys are back with another of their "old school" interviews as they interview America Top Team's Alex Davis.
You want to talk about a guy who has seen it all in the world of MMA? Alex Davis was there at the inception of the now prolific American Top Team and there are few roles Davis has not filled - Translator, Manager, Trainer and life-coach are just a few of the hats he wears.
Alex also takes us back to Brazil and the days before the UFC as we talk Marco Ruas, Rickson Gracie and much much more.

MMA and UFC veteran Steve Berger joins Chris Lytle's #LytesOutPodcast for another classic "deep dive" interview.
A full account of Berger's career including unsanctioned and unrecorded fights puts him at well over fifty fights. That makes for a lot of stories as Berger fought many of his era's top guns with limited sponsorship and support.
Meet Steve Berger, one of the nicest guys your ever going to meet in the business - and with a personal life story that should make you like him even more.
Take another "deep dive" with Chris and company - here they speak to active UFC Heavyweight Walt Harris. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqSvWJMj6Bg&t=3199s

Chris Lytle and his #LytesOut Podcast team have veteran slugger Keith Wisniewski in for another old school interview.
Wisniewski is a member of the #FiftyFightClub, reserved for MMA fighters who have been around the block a few times. He fought his first fight at the age of fifteen and was actively competing against whoever he could fight by the age of sixteen. He ended his career more than a decade later with a run in the UFC. Fight talk, including a serious competitor's honest talk on concussions (Wisniewski states that including training, he has had over a hundred concussions).
Keith was one of the grittiest competitors in his day, don't let his calm and pleasant demeanor fool you!

The UFC 2 event in Denver, Colorado on March 11th, 1994 gets classified as ancient history nowadays. The event is recalled as "the night of elbows" for the sheer violence of many of the finishes.
In this #LOP "deep dive" interview, we speak with Fred Ettish, one of the participants. Ettish entered the tournament as an alternate and lost to Johnny Rhodes in his opening match.
Ettish gets into a lot of the "behind the scenes" from the event and also talks about his own road to redemption. A true pioneer from the sport's earliest times, meet Fred Ettish.

Veteran MMA slugger Brian Ebersole sports a record of 51-18-1-1 on the Sherdog database, and he has more fights than that. Ebersole has lived in Australia where he is part of a vibrant MMA scene "down under" for more than a decade, so you can say he has seen it all on to two continents.

MMA pioneer Dennis Hallman recently joined Chris Lytle and company for a "deep dive" of close to two hours.
Hallman doesn't just have fifty fights, he has recorded more than 50 wins in a career that started in 1996 and went on until 2015. He owns two signature wins over UFC hall of famer Matt Hughes and he competed at the highest level throughout his career. Hallman, also a master of mayhem, isn't shy about remembering some of the hi-jinks that went on around the fights. A very interesting interview that actually may leave open more questions....

Hammer House fighter Nick Nutter has about as interesting a 7 fight resume in the early days of NHB. At the #LOP, we figured we could get a full one hour interview from Nick.
Well, once we got started, we couldn't stop!
Hammer House leader Mark Coleman and his sidekick Kevin Randleman were both known for handling things in and outside of the cage, but Nutter had never had a street fight in his life! no street fights and he winds up fighting Igor Vovchanchin for 24 minutes in a tournament final in Tel Aviv, Israel. You can't make this stuff up. Meet Nick Nutter in one of the funnest interviews yet on the #LytesOut Podcast.

"The Polar Bear" was in Atlanta and he continued to follow the sport of MMA. We found him ready to share his memories. A unique interview with an unsung hero of our great sport.

Chris Lytle is an old school fighter, and here at the #LytesOut Podcast, we started our #FiftyFightClub to commemorate the hardcore veterans of the sport.
Well, how old school is Jeremy Horn? Jeremy had FIFTY fights by the first half of 2000 by the official record, and the truth is, this guy had fifty fights in the 90's! We go long on this one.
We caught up with Jeremy while he was hanging out on a grassy knoll in Utah and we just let the #fighttalk flow.....
