Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 239 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A long, long awaited meet up here as Pip is joined by the Most Valuable Person in this whole MMA business… It’s the phenomenal MICHAEL VENOM PAGE!
“I’m very present when I’m fighting, and it sounds weird to say but I’m not emotionally in the fight...”
Of course, MMA heads by now will just be clicking or tapping that download button without reading any further, but for those of you perhaps less familiar, you are also in for a real treat. MVP is an awe inspiring fighter, and for even the fairest weather fans of mixed martial arts his skill will dazzle you. With a unique style and mad victory set pieces, he’s become full on notorious in the sport and here he gets a good chance to catch up with Pip on all aspects, including the swiftness of the MMA universe, how he wants people to stick around for the whole thing - not just him, how you can enjoy and absorb so much more in MMA when you educate yourself on the moves, his family being into early kung fu film classics (must be some Wu Tang or 36 Chambers action in there somewhere), how hard it would be to transition to MMA from boxing, focusing on his strengths in training to catapult him to success, sprawl and brawl, having faith in his coach, being present in a fight and not studying tapes, how trash talk only works if it’s your true self talking it, being true to your personality, and everything else in between - including those amazing victory set pieces (as well as the full background behind the Pokemon one!). Inspiring talk from a positive and encouraging voice - a whole lot to enjoy. GO IN!
• NOTE! As Pip mentions in the intro, the sound isn't quite as sparkly as it could be, due to this being a backup recording. I've tried to get it as polished as possible, but there are intrusive noises at points... It's decent though - just wanted to give a heads up! Cheers yo! - Buddy Peace (producer)

| 0:00.0 | This is a paid advertisement from Better Help. I've got a really clear memory when I first got a |
| 0:06.6 | dog of being really focused on how important all the things I have to do for this cute little guy |
| 0:13.6 | are. Like I need to make sure he's getting walks every day, fresh air every day, fresh water every |
| 0:21.1 | day, eating good food. And it becomes such a kind of a focus and a drive because you want to do all |
| 0:28.0 | you can for this little creature that you love. But we don't always put that much time and |
| 0:32.8 | attention into what we need for ourselves. Like what are our basic requirements to get through |
| 0:40.6 | life. And we need to focus on that more and Better Help can help with that. With over a thousand |
| 0:46.2 | therapists in the UK already, they can provide access to mental health professionals with a wide |
| 0:51.5 | variety of expertise in mental health. As far as I know, they've not got any that can help dogs, |
| 0:57.4 | but again, as long as you're dealing with that, then they can help you deal with you as well. |
| 1:03.0 | Alistair's get 10% off their first month at BetterHelp.com slash distraction pod. That's better |

| 1:18.6 | pieces podcast episode 239. Hi guys, I'm joined this week by Michael Venom Page who |
| 1:27.7 | I've been saying I'm going to have one for a bit. I'm a big fan of, so it's exciting that this one |
| 1:32.4 | is here. Before I get into it, for any of you that aren't MMA fans, this is still a great |
| 1:39.9 | listen for you. I promise. Michael has come up very much his own way and has made a hell of an |
| 1:47.9 | impact through creativity, through, I mean, his in-ring performance has been amazing, but he's |
| 1:53.6 | found, he's really found a way of going viral outside of the UFC, who if you're not a fan of |
| 2:00.6 | mixed martial arts, you will probably have heard of the UFC. So in fact, a lot of people think the |
| 2:04.2 | sport is called a UFC. UFC is kind of the biggest company. Bellator where Michael is now is like |
| 2:10.9 | the the next biggest unless you believe all the lies that one FC feed the financial papers. |
| 2:22.0 | Jokey and I don't know anything about that. But yes, it's a hell of a chat about, yeah, |
