This week Brian and Harrison intro the show with the general banter, they cover; attending STIHL's 100 year anniversary celebration (meeting Dr Stihl himself!), Brian does the grocery shopping for the first time in 5 years and steals a trolly, plus all the major topics making AFL headlines.
This week on Life of Brian, BT and Harrison have the pleasure of chatting with former world champion martial artist, Sam Greco.
With a career spanning 35 years Sam had an astonishing record of 147 fights - 131 wins - 11 loses - 3 draws - 2 no contest. This reflects the numerous disciplines he competed in: K1 Kickboxing, Full Contact Karate and MMA. He was a 3x World Kickboxing Champion and a World Full Contact Karatê Champion.
Sam grew up in Melbourne’s inner-North. To escape the dangers of this rough environment, he found balance, discipline and purpose in the gym. With an unmatched mental fortitude and an imposing 6’3" muscle bound frame, he could knock out opponents with sheer brute force. From his rise through the fight game to becoming one of world's most respected combat sports figures, Sam opens up on the highs, the setbacks, and what it really takes to make it at the elite level. They also dive into the current state of UFC and MMA, Sam’s role coaching the next generation, and what’s changed in the fight game over the years.
BT and Sam also rewind to where their friendship began - over coffees at Sam’s iconic café, Don Camillo’s.
Raw, honest, and full of energy - this is one you don’t want to miss.
We hope you enjoy the conversation.
