  • Strictly Fighters Podcast: Crossfit for MMA & Fighting for Money vs. Passion

    A review and preview of Bellator MMA's light heavyweight grand prix tournament gets things going, before the boys dive into the benefits and drawbacks of crossfit training as a fitness and conditioning base for MMA and martial arts in general. Jason prompts Shaun to address a statement made in last week's show - that fighters only fight for the money, which launches a debate that extends through the rest of the episode, which includes a look at the upcoming Robert Whittaker vs. Kelvin Gastelum & Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren bouts.

  • Strictly Fighters Podcast: How Good was Bruce Lee Really?
    Apr 9 2021

    The Legends League throws up a banger, and Demetrious 'Mighty Mouse' Johnson's loss in ONE Championship prompts the hosts to revisit his status in the GOAT of MMA debate. This leads to something of a touchy subject for fighters and non-fighters alike: was Bruce Lee as good as popular culture & public opinion say he was? Jay, Craig and Shaun explore Bruce Lee's impact on martial arts and whether the legend of Bruce Lee as the indomitable, unbeatable super-human is a myth.
