S 1 Ep 15, MMA Fighter Will Starks on MMA, UFC, and pursuing one's dreams - a podcast by Ali Khan

While doing this episode, this song called, I couldn't help but think about Sylvestor Stallone's Rocky series, in part because this guy, bruised and battered from his last fight but all the more gracious in defeat, still stood tall in his pursuit of a larger than life ambition --- a desire to be a UFC champion. I could see it in his eyes, the fire! And this is why I pushed him to come on the podcast for months on end... And he's finally here!

At 28 years of age, Will 'Soldier of Christ' Starks, is a professional MMA fighter, two time UMMAF (USA Mixed Martial Arts Federation) National, and 2 time UMMAF World Champion with the hopes of making it to the UFC. Having fought the weekend prior and with bloodshot eyes, Will agreed to the podcast while pursuing a degree in Neuroscience & Biochemistry, and being a boyfriend, a dog owner, and much much more. 

Recently recruited by one of the largest sports agencies in the world (Paradigm Sports), Will discusses the challenges of taking the road less traveled, dealing with doubts and doubt-ers, his background, desire to fight, risks of contact sports & how to minimize them, recommendations for upcoming fighters and much much more.

Will is a fighter in the ring and in life, and I just know that he will achieve big things in whatever path he takes. In my eyes, he is already successful for daring to dream, but moreover, for trying to make that dream a reality. Thank you for being you, Will!
