Manage episode 371225132 series 3408104
In this episode, we have a special guest, Shannon Ritch, a true pioneer of the fight game, joining us. Shannon shares his incredible journey in the world of combat sports, taking us through his experiences in various fighting styles such as lethwei, MMA, and jiu-jitsu.
Shannon regales us with fascinating stories from his time in the fight game, including a particularly interesting encounter with the legendary Tito Ortiz. His tales provide a captivating glimpse into the early days of the sport, highlighting the challenges and triumphs that shaped his career.
Our discussion takes a turn towards the sport of Bareknuckle Fighting, where Shannon currently holds a title belt and is prepared to defend it. We explore the growth of the Bareknuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) and the challenges it faces, as well as the potential for growth within the UFL (Ultimate Fight League) and the need to expand its audience in Arizona.
One of the key points Harrison brings up is the importance of fighter insurance, which the UFL provides for its athletes. This is a crucial aspect for MMA fighters, ensuring their well-being and security in an unpredictable sport. The conversation also delves into the UFL's approach of allowing fighters to compete in other promotions, granting them the freedom to pursue opportunities beyond the league.
Sponsorships become a topic of discussion as well. The question arises: Can UFL fighters have different sponsors for themselves? This opens up avenues for fighters to secure individual sponsorships that align with their personal brand and values, enhancing their overall exposure and financial prospects.
In the spirit of engagement, Harrison encourages listeners to share their thoughts in the comments section below the podcast or YouTube video. He seeks to gauge the interest in a potential matchup between Frank Mir and Shannon Ritch, expressing his enthusiasm for making such an exciting fight happen.
Joining the conversation, Ashton Young, Shannon's business partner, shares insights about their apparel line called "Let's Win." He explains how their partnership came to fruition, and the brand's focus on motivation and success.
Towards the end of the episode, the conversation shifts to F3 Energy, a topic that showcases the show's wide-ranging discussions. Harrison and the guests explore the growth and development of F3 Energy, providing listeners with a glimpse into this intriguing venture.
