SWEET BABY RAY HAYES: Ray's Life of Fighting, Going Pro, Being Orphaned, Blue Collar Pride

In today's episode we sit down with "Sweet Baby" Ray Hayes, a pro fighter currently sitting at 6-1 all time! Ray sits down with us as he's prepping for his upcoming fight next month and tell us all about his small town origins, what it meant to grow up fast after the passing of his parents in a fatal car accident in 2016, playing the dad role and the challenges he faced when helping raise his little brother, going pro, and what direction he thinks MMA is going to go! A soft spoken, blue collar man with a lot of heart and pride who puts on for his family - whether you like stories that teach you how to win or just love a guy with a lot of grit who has his actions speak for him, Ray was a great guest we'd love to have back on!
