#114: Brando Peričić | Faith, Sacrifice & The Fight Beyond the Cage

from Better Bloke

This week we sat down with Brando Peričić, better known as The Balkan Bear, the #14 ranked UFC Heavyweight. On the outside, fighters are often seen as tough, fearless and unbreakable. But this conversation goes far beyond what happens inside the cage.Brando opens up about growing up without his father around, the sacrifices he continues to make in pursuit of becoming a UFC champion, and the role faith has played in shaping the bloke he is today. We spoke about identity, discipline, purpose and the reality that even the toughest men carry their own battles.It quickly becomes clear that Brando isn’t just focused on becoming the best heavyweight fighter in the world. He’s equally committed to becoming the best person he can be and using his platform to help others along the way.This is a raw and honest conversation that shows strength isn’t about hiding your emotions. Sometimes, it’s about having the courage to share them.Help us help the blokes who need it: https://www.betterblokeproject.org/pages/donate-nowBrando's Socials:https://www.instagram.com/balknbear/https://www.facebook.com/balknbear/https://www.tiktok.com/@balknbearhttps://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@balknbear⁩ Find us on socials:https://www.instagram.com/betterblokeproject/ https://www.facebook.com/thebetterblokeproject/ https://www.tiktok.com/@betterblokeproject
