What does it really take to survive at the top of the fight game for decades? Urijah Faber sits down with Sean Kelly in Las Vegas for a raw conversation about fighting, business, fatherhood, health, fear, and what it takes to build a life after the cage. From coaching Song Yadong through a razor-close fight with Sean O’Malley to building Team Alpha Male into one of the most respected fight teams in MMA, Urijah breaks down the mindset that kept him in the game longer than most fighters ever last.
