Becoming A Fighter: Ian Heinisch - a podcast by UFC

Jim and Matt are off the next two Wednesdays for the holidays... but we didn't forget about you!

Becoming A Fighter is a new show hosted by Megan Olivi that aims to learn why your favorite UFC athletes became fighters. Our first subject is Ian Heinisch, whose life's journey has more twists and turns than just about anyone.Once a wrestling prodigy in Colorado, Ian found himself in Spanish prison for drug charges, where he began seriously training in MMA. Only a few years later, he's a ranked UFC fighter.

This show asks the simple question: How the hell did he get here? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
