Mick Mack grew up surrounded by violence in Western Sydney, with his upbringing teaching him how to fight long before he ever stepped into a boxing gym.

He went on to have 61 amateur fights, win the Golden Gloves and fight for a shot at the Commonwealth Games before eventually walking away from boxing and what he believes could have been a very different career.

Years later, Mick found his way back through Australia’s underground fight scene. A bare-knuckle fight in his sister’s front yard led to Bare Knuckle Australia and eventually Hood Contender’s Australian Street Fighting Championships, where three legendary fights established him as one of Australia’s most dangerous street fighters.

Mick opens up about the street fights that shaped him, drinking before a bare-knuckle fight, the biggest misconception people have about him, and the complicated relationship he has with fighting.

He also breaks down the rise of Australia’s underground fight clubs, why so many men are drawn to them, and whether he still has time to find out just how far his fighting ability can take him.

This is the story of a man who hates conflict, but somehow became one of Australia’s most feared street fighters.

He gambled his family’s house deposit to build an insane new combat sport.

Danny Mac came from Melbourne’s western suburbs with no fight background, but has built International Brawling Championship, or IBC, into one of the fastest-growing combat sports on the planet.

In this episode, Danny opens up about the failed businesses before IBC, being borderline bankrupt two years ago, and the relentless drive that kept him chasing success since he was a kid.

He breaks down how losing money promoting boxing shows led to his wild idea for a hybrid combat sport built around forward pressure, violence, and non-stop action.

Danny also walks through the brutal reality of building IBC from the ground up, from losing $350,000 on the first show to sold-out shows and broadcast deals he could have only dreamed of.

This episode is about risk, obsession, and what happens when you bet everything you’ve got on yourself.

Matt "The Jedi" Floyd grew up in and out of foster homes.

At 10, he was placed with a family that abused children in their care. By his teens, he was deep in street gangs and violence, before becoming one of the youngest bikie gang presidents in Western Australia at 22.

But instead of chasing money or power, he had his crew hunting and kidnapping child predators.

Eventually, it caught up with him. Matt spent six years in prison.

For most people, that would have been the end. For Matt, it became the start of his fight back.

Inside, he taught himself how to box. After getting out at 30, he turned pro. Today, he’s undefeated and fighting on some of the biggest platforms in combat sports.

This episode is about abuse, rage, vigilante justice, prison, and what happens when you decide to fight back and become something more than your past.
