In Episode Six, Baz sits down with Ricardo Franco - BKFC champion and one of Gainsborough’s own.

Rico’s journey isn’t one that happened overnight. It’s built on years of graft, setbacks, discipline, and a mindset that refuses to break. From growing up in Gainsborough to stepping into the brutal world of bare knuckle fighting, this is a story of resilience in its rawest form.

We talk about where it all started, the reality of life behind the fighter, and what it truly takes to compete at that level, physically and mentally. Rico opens up about the sacrifices, the pressure, and the moments that shape you long before anyone’s watching.

(And how important his fuel is from our local bucthers, The Meatery!)

There’s also a real sense of pride in where he’s from. Gainsborough runs through everything he does, and you can feel that throughout this conversation.

This isn’t just about fighting.

It’s about discipline.

About mindset.
And about proving to yourself what you’re capable of, no matter where you start.

Pull up a chair.
