Good listen, but wtf is up with his accent. Supposedly he's born and bred in New Zealand but he doesn't sound nothing like your typical Kiwi.

 
He was born in Lagos (Nigeria) and moved to New Zealand at 11 or 12 years old thats probably why
 
I'm halfway through. Seems like an awesome guy tbh. I thought he sounded like he was raised in England and moved over to the US and picked up a bit of an accent.

Hope he does well in the UFC, I think he will.
 
His accent is better than an American accent, thats for sure

Choice one bro, chuck us some beers in the chilly bin and get some jandals
 
His quote on trainers making fighters fight a particular way resonates with me.

A coach should always be training fighters that expresses their natural flair and ability.

To many times across all sports you see coach’s dull down an athletes natural flair and force them to play a paticular way
 
I enjoyed a lot, honestly I didn't know who he was and now I'm a fan.

The opposite happened with Sean O'Malley, knew who he was and became a fan when he won a fight with a broken foot, but him and specially his fucking trainer were so annoying that the podcast was hard to listen to.

Same thing on the last one with Barnett, Joe called it MMA Show but they barely talked about it, Barnett sounded like a guy that reads a lot and become prolix just for the sake of it.
Just shut the fuck up, you're not that smart dude.
