The Deadliest Fighter You've Never Heard Of | Prince Banjaku
Prince Banjaku was raised on nightclub punch-ons and street scraps before fighting his way to a 19–0 record. He is now one win away from holding every major kickboxing belt at the same time, something no one has ever done.Prince opens up about the rage that stopped him smiling until he was 35, why the gym was the only thing keeping him from becoming a junkie or a criminal, and the mindset that made him impossible to beat.He breaks down the Cyrus Washington fight, where 90 percent of people picked him to lose, and the Chris Bradford knockout where he stopped a man 30 kilos heavier with a punch he does not even remember throwing.He also breaks down the Tsushi Mori fight, where he broke his fibula in the first round and still found a way to win.Then came the lockdowns, the SWAT raids, and the path that led to a year in jail, where everything changed.This episode is about what happens when a man who refuses to lose hits rock bottom and comes back more dangerous than ever.🥊 Follow Prince:InstagramFacebookTikTok🥋 Follow Benny: InstagramTikTokFacebook 🎙️ Follow Benny Drohan Podcast:YouTube SpotifyApple Podcasts👇 Chapters:00:00 Intro00:49 Being a Wog Kid in 90s Melton06:22 Anyone in My Situation Should Be a Junkie15:05 “You’re Going to Get Knocked Out”19:30 Beating Cyrus Washington (140-Fight Legend )20:48 30kg Heavier: The Chris Bradford Knockout28:58 Fighting Musashi Mori With a Broken Leg36:05 The Curse of Being Undefeated41:52 Lockdowns, SWAT Raids & Jail52:49 The 20–0 Fight for Undisputed

The Dark Psychology of Fighters | Luke Howard
For someone to willingly step into a cage and fight another man… something’s not normal.You’re either wired differently… or there’s a deeper reason driving it.This week on the pod, I sit down with Luke Howard.An OG Aussie MMA fighter who was fighting in a cage long before there was a blueprint, a pathway, or any real structure to the sport.Before Volk, Whittaker, or Della became household names, Luke was already in there, headlining fight cards around the country.He opens up about his Australian title fight with Jack Della, stepping in when no one else would, taking it to him, and what it actually feels like to go out cold in a cage. The physical damage, the mental fallout, and the reality of fighting in the early days when safety was less regulated and the risks were higher.But this isn’t really a fight story.It’s about what drives someone to do it in the first place.Luke breaks down what he calls controlled violence, the difference between fighters who break and those who don’t, the danger of chasing validation, and why knowing your “why” can save you in and out of the cage.That mindset is what led him to becoming a world-class boxing coach at Soma Fight Club in Bali.If you’ve ever wanted to know what it really takes to live this life, the pain, the pressure, the mentality, Luke’s lived every bit of it.He is that guy. If you know, you know.🥷 Watch Luke in action:Eternal Title Fight vs Jack Della Comeback Fight vs Anthony Bynoe📲 Follow Luke:Instagram🥋 Follow Soma Fight Club: InstagramWebsite🥊 Follow Benny: InstagramTikTokFacebook 🎙️ Follow Benny Drohan Podcast:YouTube SpotifyApple Podcasts👇 Chapters:00:00 Intro 01:02 Luke Howard’s Story 03:39 Injuries That Ended Judo 09:59 Transition to MMA 18:41 Chasing a Fighting Career 26:00 Moving to Bali 33:39 Life in Bali 35:25 Fighting Jack Della 51:46 Mental Health & Demons 53:26 Advice for Young Men 🥋 Stay in the fkn Fight

Locky Tinhla grew up mixed-race with a violent, racist father before going on to fight bare-knuckle in Myanmar, inside the world’s most brutal combat sport.He opens up about the impact that environment had on his identity and mental health, how early exposure to violence shaped his worldview, and the years of self-destruction that nearly broke him before he found something that gave him direction.That search led him to Lethwei, the traditional Burmese bare-knuckle fighting sport widely regarded as the most brutal combat sport on earth.

I also share the final days of my mum’s life, how grief forced me to confront everything I had been running from, and the moment faith finally brought clarity after years of chaos.Hold onto your fkn hat because this is confronting, honest, and unfiltered.
