Black Belt. He is, as I'm mistakenly said, one of. He is the OG of Jiu-Jitsu in MMA in Ohio, in the

Southern Ohio area. And so George, you know, the first time I ever met him was he was the ref for one of my very first MMA fights.

And George was the guy that reft from my first three fights.

0:37.3

And, you know, he was, this was before, the first fight was before the ultimate fighter season two that he competed at. And so, you know, but he was still known in the area. Like, I knew who he was. His team was always super tough. Like, you know, if you were fighting a Georgia Joe guy in MMA or if you're competing against them iniu-Jitsu, you knew you were in for a tough match, tough fight. And so when I saw him, like, I remember being starstruck and then when I'm in the ring and then I've got a fight. But it was super cool to have him on the podcast. I was up there visiting some friends recently and I did a seminar at one of his affiliates in Dayton, Ohio recently, and afterwards met up with him, and we wanted to set up the podcast. So he's a super entertaining dude, so I hope you guys enjoy it, and we'll look to bring him back and talk a little bit more.
