GRAPPLING HOUR with Rick Zelada

I had the pleasure of catching RICK ZELADA's recent fight at Lights Out Xtreme Fighting back in May. Rick and I have run into each other here and there at some local open mats here in Southern California. And while I was rooting for my guy to come back with a W (spoiler: he did), I had no idea of the incredible story behind his epic win. We get into the meaning behind this last fight, that memorable post-fight moment in the cage, and the unconventional journey that brought Slick to the fight game. There was also a cool moment where we got to walk down memory lane, talking about the insane jiu-jitsu matches that Dream Jiu Jitsu used to host. I really appreciated MATADOR TRAINING for opening up their doors and allowing us to do this one at their gym. They just added a brand new jiu-jitsu program in association with our good friends over at NEW GROUND JIU JITSU. If you're in the NoHo area, I highly encourage you to go visit them!——WE'VE GOT NEW MERCH: Head on over to https://www.rafesparza.com/merch You can purchase our BRAND NEW Grappling Hour HOODIES and T-SHIRTS.---- We’re on PATREON now!Head over to https://www.patreon.com/grapplinghourto become an EARLY ACCESS or PREMIUM Grappling Hour member.
