What's up, guys?

Today on the Jiu-Jitsu podcast, we have an MMA fighting pioneer.

We have Frank Trigg on the podcast.

If you're not familiar, because I know some of you guys are new to J-Jitsu, you might be new to M.A and things like that.

Frank Trigg was one of the pioneers that got into the sport.

and I was like, I want to go fight MMA and someone would say, well, MMA, like, what is, what's that like?

What is that? know, it's like the UFC and it's like these things and they wouldn't know what it is. And I would have to explain it to people and say, oh, it's like this, have you seen that thing

where the guys fight in the cage?

And they were like, yeah, I've seen that before.

That's MMA.

And that's how you would have to describe it to people during this time period.

his fighting career but also getting into aspects of transitioning from being a professional fighter

into different careers and things like that and so it's exciting to hear about that and i had a lot

of fun listening to it.

I always find it interesting to hear people about how they transition from something.

It's really, I mean, because you look at it, like from other sports and stuff, it's very

hard to transition from being a professional fighter, professional athlete, and then transition
