About this episode

Adrian Segovia discusses his journey in MMA and jiu jitsu, including his transition from amateur to pro and the importance of affirmations.

Lights Out Xtreme Fighting stand out, Adrian Segovia, dropped by MAMMA this week to do an interview with me. You’ll hear all about our impromptu 30-minute roll (spoiler: he kept things intense even just days after his last fight!) and the hilarious beef I thought we had before realizing he actually beat up my buddy Jake years ago! Adrian opened up about his journey: starting jiu jitsu as a hyperactive nine-year-old, competing relentlessly, and eventually taking a break from grappling before rediscovering his drive in the MMA world. He gets real about the transition from amateur to pro, overcoming self-doubt, and the power of manifesting greatness with affirmations (hint: “I am the best” is his go-to mantra).  You’ll also get to hear some fun banter with his crew (off-screen) who joined him for this interview, hearing about their competitions with each other, and listen in on the friendly (and sometimes savage) trash talk that always makes these after-training hangs so memorable.  This episode is packed with high-level fight insights, humor, and that behind-the-scenes camaraderie you can only get on Patreon. As always, thanks for the support! —— WE'VE GOT NEW MERCH: Head…
