Mike Safo with Eddie Yagin, UFC Alumni

Joined today with UFC alumni, the Filipino phenom Eddie Yagin.  Eddie and I discuss healthy eating, our crazy diet, how we were lied to about the food pyramid, and when we became knowledgeable about what we put in our body. Eddie tells about growing up in Hawaii getting shot at the age of 16 and ending up in prison before his 20th birthday. We talk about what got him into mixed martial arts, becoming a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, and starting his career in Super Brawl in Hawaii. We hear about getting that phone call to fight at UFC on the same card as Jon Jones, Rampage Jackson, and other legends. He shares why he wasn’t able to stay around after his historic win and why he celebrated at an In-N-Out. Eddie tells us about what he’s up to now, the struggles of living in the moment, starting his own fight card, and coaching. We talk about his bad ass daughter, who also wants to enter the fight game, shoots guns and wants to follow in her legendary father‘s footsteps. All this and more with the Filipino phenom.
