I enjoyed this discussion so much, I figured I'd put it on CamBro Conversations too.

Expect to learn more about my background, early ambitions, what led me down the path of self development, passion for productivity, and the lessons learnt from some of my favourite CamBro guests.

Jay & I also discuss my views on the UK, whether moving to Dubai is an option, future aspirations, a great formula for defining success, and top tips for high performance.

Today’s conversation is with Chris Duncan.

Chris “The Problem” Duncan is a rising Scottish star in the UFC known for his explosive style, relentless mindset, and deep family values.

From his early days working in agriculture after being overlooked for the Scotland U18s, to walking into the UFC octagon on the biggest stages in the world, Chris’s story is one of resilience, grit, and unshakeable belief.

We dive into the journey that’s taken him from farmland to fight nights at UFC London, the brutal lessons learned in the cage, and the emotional connection he carries with him every time he competes — through a pendant made from his late mother’s wedding ring and fingerprint.

Expect to learn:

• Chris’s unusual path into professional fighting after missing out on rugby
• Starting MMA in 2014 and what sparked his commitment to the sport
• How he deals with serious injuries including a detached retina
• Chris’ tribute to his mother
• The highs and lows of the UFC Contender Series and his debut
• The mental toll of extreme weight cuts and delayed fights
• His comeback from setbacks — including his most recent loss in early 2024
• Why he believes every UFC fighter should be hunting finishes
• Winning his fight at UFC London with a slick guillotine submission and earning a $50K bonus
• Balancing fighting with fatherhood after the birth of his son, Tiger
• The role family plays in fuelling his motivation and mindset
• The dream of one day headlining a UFC card at Glasgow’s Hydro Arena

This one is raw, honest, and full of insights into what it takes to thrive at the elite level of one of the world’s most demanding sports.
