Get up close and personal with Dricus, the South African sensation shaking up the world of mixed martial arts.
Dricus lays bare the electrifying rush he experiences in the moments leading up to a fight and reflects on his celebrated clash with Robert Whitaker, a fight that gripped the world and catapulted South African mixed martial arts into the limelight. He also shares about the burden of self-imposed expectations and the unwavering belief he harbors in his own potential. A foot injury that forced him to decline a fight offer also crops up.
Delve deeper into Dracis's future fight plans and the navigational challenges he faces within the labyrinth of mixed martial arts. We unravel the intricate balance between personal dreams and the demanding needs of the promotion. Hear how Dricus manages to embrace tough decisions while keeping his passion aflame. His readiness to take on grueling fights and his relentless pursuit of the UFC world champion title also form a crucial part of our conversation.
Finally, we talk about the possibilities of Israel Adesanya's rematch with Strickland and the factors that could sway the balance. Dana White's surprise at the suggestion of a rematch piques my interest and the implications for the sport.

It's a big week for Chris Daukaus who makes his light heavyweight debut in the Octagon.
I always enjoy talking with Chris because he's just a laid back, fun guy who can really bring it. He is definitely that underdog type of fighter that have emerged from Philadelphia before, but he surprised a lot of people with his rise in the UFC's heavyweight division.
Now, he begins anew after a losing skid but at 205 pounds. We always connect when discussing the passion for self improvement and what it takes to put focus on what you really want while letting distractions fall away.
But, there's also the micro-analyzing that can be harmful. It's about finding that line... that flow state where you're challenging yourself but not driving yourself crazy.
Hope you enjoy this episode!

Maycee Barber, Billy Quarantillo and Adrian Yanez have all been guests on Fitz Nation, so it was great to catch up with them in this format.
I sincerely hold these three in the highest regard in terms of their skill and potential as champions and great stars of the sport.
Maycee is coming off a huge win over Amanda Ribas in Jacksonville. Billy Quarantillo is looking to bounce back at UFC Nashville in August when he takes on Damon Jackson. Adrian Yanez last fought in April and looks to return later this summer.
