SPENCER FISHER, Career #DEEPDIVE

Send a textThe #LytesOut Podcast sat down with Spencer Fisher for a traditional #DEEPDIVE.Few fighters have earned the title "crowd pleaser" like Fisher did during his decade long career. Since his retirement, Spencer's name also comes up from time to time around the subject of PTSD and head trauma.We are happy to say we found Spencer looking good and ready to talk fights! We appreciate Spencer's honesty when it comes down to the subject of head trauma, and we think some of what he has to say should be a wake up call to the sport. Listen in to a warrior who left a little something in the octagon for all-time....0:00 Podcast intro0:19 Guest intro, interview start 2:30 Spencer Fisher vs MarkDespacio5:01 Early unrecorded fights7:21 Spencer Fisher vs RyanHeckert at VFC 28:17 Moved to lowa to train with Miletich9:44 Began career as a heavyweight10:42 Won VFC 3 eight-man tournament:Dave Gries, Tim Palmer,Adam Copenhaver11:42 First time cutting weight12:31 Monte Cox's Tuesday Night Fights14:32 Spencer Fisher vs JoshNeer at VFC 716:07 Josh Neer joins MFSgym16:40 Jeremy Stephens17:17 Training at MiletichFighting Systems19:06 High turnover rate atMFS19:29 Experiences with"Lightning" Lee Murray20:54 The Tito vs Lee Murray incident23:11 Spencer Fisher vs DarylGuthmiller at ICC 226:14 Thoughts on Jason Black27:48 Spencer Fisher vs CarloPrater at FFC 929:21 "Big Poppa" Schnake29:58 Spencer Fisher vs KyleWatson at CFC 231:51 Thoughts on Matt Pena34:40 First UFC fight: SpencerFisher vs Thiago Alves38:36 Spencer Fisher vs AaronRiley40:15 Spencer Fisher vs SamStout I43:35 Dana White and managers45:07 Jeff Curran and BartPalaszewski45:56 Cecil Peoples and judging47:08 Spencer Fisher vs MattWiman49:20 Spencer Fisher vs DanLauzon50:53 Fight Bonuses52:16 Manager percentage54:08 Spencer Fisher vsHermes Franca56:23 Hitting cardio wall57:21 First CTE symptoms58:36 Hard sparring vs smart sparring1:02:30 CTE: don't ask, don't tell1:05:17 Spencer Fisher vs SamStout 21:13:28 Independent contractor vs employee1:14:50 Spencer Fisher vsJeremy Stephans1:17:20 Spencer Fisher vs JoeStevenson1:18:06 Working with JeffJoslin1:19:13 Spencer Fisher vs CurtWarburton1:19:53 Mickey Dubberly as manager1:20:48 Deadbeat sponsor1:22:41 When Jeremy Horn leftMFS1:25:30 The Gracie Challenge1:28:51 Stabbed whileBouncing1:31:15 Tim Sylvia1:32:58 Mark Hanssen and PatMiletich1:33:56 CTE symptoms and treatments1:39:22 UFC Hof potential1:42:10 Interview wrap upThanks to Emily and the rest of the Fisher family as well.Like and subscribe to #LytesOut MMA History Podcast on YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdcebSeWpoMqcotWR_1rHnQ#FiftyFightClub #UFC #UFCHistory #MMAHistory #LOP #LytesOut #DEEPDIVE #OldSchoolMMA #FightTalk #NHB #MMA #bjj #fight #grappling #mixedmartialarts #bellator #PRIDEFC #Sengoku #SpencerFisher #SamStoutFollow the #LOP team on Instagram: @lytesoutpodcast You can help us to grow at the #LytesOut Podcast – the history of MMA and NHB has a home.
