  • GRAPPLING HOUR with Dylan Morales
    Nov 13 2024

    In our latest episode, we sit down with Sparstar MMA champ Dylan Morales. Dive into Dylan's unique journey, where his love for mathematics meets the art of grappling. Learn about his training techniques, his aspirations beyond the cage, and how he balances his athletic career with academic goals.

    And be sure to catch him this Saturday, November 16th back at the ‪@SparStarMMA‬ cage. My good friend John Evans and I will be on the call and I'll be interviewing folks in the cage after their fights. See you there!

  • GRAPPLING HOUR wtih Dory Aoun
    Oct 29 2024

    Dory Aoun made an amazing comeback at the PGF qualifiers. One of his early matches ended in controversy, but he managed to fight his way through the consolidation bracket to secure a spot in the highly anticipated seventh season of the PGF. We're stoked to share that he pulled it off.

    In this episode, we'll hear about his approach to competition, his passion for mentoring the next generation of grapplers, and what he has in store for Season 7 of the PGF in Vegas.
