We're a day late this week because one of us took too much Benadryl on Sunday to record an episode - guess which one. We talk about quarantine movies and TV shows we've been watching, cutting down trees, new scotch, cigar pairings, submission underground, soup and much more. We also talk about UFC 249 and the fact that it's more likely that Kim Jong Un is faking his death than this card actually happens. Don't worry, we don't talk MMA until the very end of the show. Cheers and stay safe everyone! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mmaontherocks/support

This week we would have been breaking down the results of UFC 249 - but since Disney and the coronavirus cancelled it, we had to talk about something else. We still discuss Tony Ferguson making weight for the cancelled event. We also go through a list of our top five favorite fighters who have never won a UFC title. Our lists overlap a bit, but for the most part they are unique to us because they are all fighters who have a significant meaning to us for different reasons. The only criteria is that they have fought in the UFC and never won a title or interim title. As always, we appreciate feedback, ratings, reviews and shares - cheers! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mmaontherocks/support

The rough childhood and late-career fight camp of Jens Pulver in the documentary "Driven."

This is the first installment of a sub-series of the podcast that is based on how people from all walks of life got started in martial arts. Steve Maraboli is a world-renowned speaker, author, decorated military veteran and philanthropist - but he is also an avid Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner and world champion competitor. Steve discusses his background and life experience and what led him to first "meet the mat" at The Renzo Gracie Academy in New York City. Steve talks about the struggles of starting jiu jitsu at age 42 while wearing some extra pounds. He also discusses the benefits and mental advances that come from training jiu jitsu and how everyone should try it at some point in their lives. We also discuss the "guru effect" and what you should be wary of when choosing your first gym. We have some laughs and even talk about our experiences training together - cheers! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mmaontherocks/support
