Fitz is joined by UFC lightweight Evan Elder, who makes his 3rd appearance in the Octagon in July.
Evan is coming off a Fight of the Night result vs. Nazim Sadykov, one which he technically lost after it was stopped because of a cut over his right eye. Elder was up 2-0 on all judges' scorecards, so he is looking to return for a big win.
He has a great story of chasing his dream to be a pro fighter, from moving out to Stockton, California to join the Diaz brothers' gym, to now calling Kill Cliff FC in Florida home with some other great UFC contenders.
He has a great level of maturity for someone who's just 26-years-old and is enjoying the journey every step of the way!

Paul Felder is a good buddy of mine from our time together as UFC commentators. We started working for the UFC at the same time on season 1 of Dana White's Contender Series back in 2017.
Felder blossomed as a fighter during the latter stages of his career, reaching the top 10 of the lightweight division in 2019 and 2020.
In this episode, he discusses why triathlon gripped him as he was done fighting as he embraces challenges that most won't tackle. He also looks back on his fighting career and breaks down the finer parts of acting and what he hopes to accomplish next!

Fitz is joined by UFC middleweight contender Dricus Du Plessis, who fights at UFC 290 this week in Las Vegas.
Dricus is unbeaten in the UFC and finds himself in another massive fight vs. former champion Robert Whittaker. With a win, Du Plessis is basically a lock to challenge Israel Adesanya for the UFC middleweight title in his next fight and could come as soon as September.
Du Plessis is an all-action fighter who has finished 4 of his 5 UFC wins, including a big win in Las Vegas over Derek Brunson his last time out.
In this episode, we talk about the feeling he gets when it's time to fight, the habits that have made him a championship contender, and chasing the near impossible task of being known as the greatest of all time.
