Mark Kerr is a Division I National Champion, 2x ADCC Champion, and 2x UFC Heavyweight Champion who helped define what it meant to be a professional mixed martial artist before anyone even knew what that looked like. But behind the accolades was a story most people never saw coming. In this raw and unforgettable episode, Mark sits down with us to talk about: What it felt like when Dwayne \"The Rock\" Johnson was cast to play him How he helped create the standard for what a professional MMA fighter looks and acts like The training methods he pioneered 25 years ago — heart rate-based conditioning, functional training — that the sport has only recently caught up to The injuries, pain management, and how it all spiraled into addiction The night the cameras went down, and he was found unresponsive — lips blue, barely breathing — and brought back with Narcan Why vulnerability is the most alpha thing a man can do His mission to prepare and mentor the next generation This one hits different. Whether you're a fight fan, someone in recovery, or just somebody who needs to hear that one thing doesn't define you — this episode is for you. This episode is sponsored by Celsius.
