Ep. 23: Pro MMA Fighter Akonne ‘J3DI’ Wanliss - Why Fight MMA & How To Learn The Ways Of The Force

In this episode of the Being Human podcast, I sat down with professional MMA fighter and master of the force, Akonne Wanliss. Akonne is fighting on the co-main event of Oktagon MMA 56 in Birmingham, on the 20th April. He is fighting Sahil Siraj in the culmination of their heated rivalry. Akonne discussed: - His upcoming fight with Siraj. - What made him start fighting mixed martial arts. - His ultimate goal in the sport to be pound-for-pound number 1. - Whether he believes in powers such as fate and destiny. - The deeper meaning to fighting and life as whole. - The number 1 Star Wars movie and character. And a whole lot more. Akonne had a load of great insights and stories to share. I do not doubt you will enjoy and find value in this episode. ___________________________________ Being Human is the brand I founded to explore what it truly means to be human: physically, mentally and spiritually.
