Samantha Seff: Oct. 1, 2017

A year ago, Samantha Seff was recovering from her 5th knee surgery and wondering when (or if) she'd be able to get back in the cage. On Oct. 14, she's main eventing an MMA card and fighting for a title belt. We talk to Sami about the journey back, her brutal training regimen, advice for new competitors, Harry Potter socks, her supportive parents and brothers, and what it's like to date another high-level competitor while they're both training and competing. The new gi Jeff designed for Toro BJJ is out now! Go get you one. Thanks as always to our sponsors, US Grappling, Toro BJJ, and Cageside MMA! Register online at usgrappling.com to compete on Oct. 21 at US Grappling in Chantilly, Virginia, or Oct. 28 in Greensboro North Carolina -- and if you need gi or nogi gear to compete, find the best products at cageside.com! If you want access to bonus content, you can support us at patreon.com/dirtywhitebelt, as Cody Maltais, Karl Krebs, Chris Holmes and Betty Broadhurst did this month -- thanks, y'all!
