I remember the first time I ever heard of Eddie Abasolo. It was in a FightTips video where he was giving a demo (you can check the video out here). Back then he was an unknown Muay Thai fighter for me because I didn’t follow the scene at all. Shane Fazen mentioned that he was always looking forward to Eddie’s new Instagram posts because he had such a unique training routine (you can follow him here). That got me curious so I started following him and I quickly discovered what Shane meant. His training routine was pretty unique but so was his fighting style. He’s a trickster of the highest level and, guess what I try to achieve when I fight. Being tricky as well (hit and not getting hit). Because in the end people love brawls, the love blood but they get on the edge of their seat when tricksters enter the ring. Their movement is like a dance, it’s poetry in motion and all of them have a style unique to their own.

His fight with PJ Sweda is still one of my favorite fights and I watch it on fight day since my very first fight. You can watch it here. Read More

Ognjen Topic is a Serbian-born American Muay Thai fighter. He has fought some of the best fighters in the game (Saenchai,  Saemapetch Fairtex,…). He’s also one of the few foreigners that compete in the legendary Lumpinee- and Radjadamnern stadium. Aside from that, he holds multiple prestigious titles and fights for One Championship as well. That is already pretty impressive but there is more than just being a fighter to Ognjen Topic of course. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have invited him on the podcast. His mindset is pretty interesting. Just listen to his TopicTalk with Kevin Ross (a previous guest on the podcast) or my first podcast with Ognjen Topic (listen to it here).

That being said, enjoy the podcast with Ognjen!

In my latest podcast, I had the honor to have Ed Latimore as a guest. He’s the author of one of my favorite books “Not Caring What Other People Think Is A Superpower“. (buy it here) It’s hard to describe him because it feels like I’m describing more than one person, he’s achieved a lot in his 35 years on this planet. He’s a retired professional boxer, a former member of the US National Guard, graduated with a bachelor’s degree in physics in 2018 (at 33) from Duquesne University,  Amazon bestselling author, and public speaker. He’s also been sober since December 23, 2013. I think it’s safe to say that Ed is the perfect example to show people that it’s never too late to start something new. Read More

Don Heatrick is a strength and conditioning coach who’s well know in the Muay Thai world. He’s also my strength and conditioning coach. A fun fact is that we’ve never met in real life or even talked to each other for a longer period of time. After dabbling on the idea of getting him the podcast, I finally reached out and the date was set. This is a 2-hour podcast where we dive into Don’s story, the reason why he structures his programs in 4 phases, why Thai fighters are not necessarily the best athletes, the mindset that goes into fighting, how to improve your mindset and so on. Enjoy! Read More
