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!
