Joe Pfeiffer has seen his star rise rapidly among the UFC ranks, but only after overcoming

what seemed impossible odds. A tough childhood resulted in Pfeiffer being homeless. And then his

early fighting career seemed to come to an end when he suffered a catastrophic injury.

In this episode, Daily Wire Senior Editor Caput Phillips sits down with Pfeiffer to discuss his rocky and remarkable rise to UFC startup.

I'm Daily Wire, Executive Editor John Bickley, with Georgia Howl. It's Saturday, July 26th, and this is a weekend edition of Morning Wire.

I never envisioned anything else I was going to get into the UFC. You're not really shocked by the moment. We are expecting it to come. All right. We're joined now by Joe Piper rising UFC middleweight star. Joe, thanks for coming on. Oh, thanks for having me, man. I'm excited. So my brother and I love the Contender Series. We love the UFC. He put me on to you when he saw your first appearance on the Contender Series. He said, this guy's life sounds like a movie. And now your life has been made into a movie, a documentary at least. Tell us a little bit of your

story, your rise to the UFC, and what exactly is in this documentary, what people are going to see.

Yeah, so as far as the documentary, there's a lot to talk about, obviously, but I started

jihitsu at four and a half years old. Then I started boxing around seven years old. And then I

started wrestling in my high school years of sophomore

into my senior year and then started fighting right after high school. You know, so yeah, I mean,

I just had this trajectory, obviously, was starting in combat sports very early, that this is

what I wanted to do. It was one of my dreams to get in UFC. I wind up, I'm just giving you the short version, obviously, but I wind up getting my first contender series shot, broke my elbow in a fight that I was winning. And then I was out for almost two years. They promised me a shot back. I come back, I'm ready to fight. They say no. Go get another win.

Wind up fighting a world team trials wrestler and wind up knocking him out.

Fought that fight with a broken left hand. I come back. They call me. I just broke my ankle

playing basketball. And they say, hey, by the end of the summer, do you want to come back on, you know,

the contender series again for my second try? And, you know, I said absolutely still in a boot

and everything. Why not getting the second opportunity? And then, you know, the whole beat, Joe Piper

statement, I was the only one they got to finish that night, only when they got a contract.

And then obviously it was a huge staple in my career so far to have Dana, you know, say,

if you want to get into UFC and this is where you want to be, you know, act like Joe Piper and

be Joe Piper.
