This week on the show, I sit down with @eddiebarraco

Eddie is a 2x Ultimate Fighter coach, an Xtreme Couture coach, and an MMA and Muay Thai veteran with more than 20 years of coaching experience.

We talk about his journey as a fighter, coach, and human; how he navigates the intensity, pressure, and emotional highs and lows that come with coaching and supporting fighters; and what it really takes to stay in the game.

We also chat about one of his fighter’s incredible stories of resilience in motion—from making it to the UFC, being released, and earning his way back. He’s now fighting on one of the biggest cards of the year.

We cover Eddie’s thoughts heading into International Fight Week, the matchup between Conor and Max, and the No. 1 skill he believes separates the fighters who make it from those who don’t.

And when it’s all said and done, I wanted to know what he hopes his fighters remember him for and what success looks like to him now.

This is a great episode to tune into if you’re a fighter, wanting to fight, an MMA fan, coach, dad, or the partner supporting an athlete or coach along the way.
