Summary

How do Paul’s 4 Doctors philosophies really work in the world of mixed martial arts athletes competing in arenas like Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?

Paul talks strategies in and out of the Octagon with Tim Welch, a professional welterweight fighter with a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and coach, and undefeated UFC bantamweight “Sugar” Sean O’Malley in this latest Living 4D podcast.
