About this episode

Jonathan Brookins discusses his experiences in martial arts, addiction, and personal growth.

Jonathan Brookins won The Ultimate Fighter in 2010. He had fights against Jose Aldo, Dustin Poirier, Charles Oliveira, and many others. He has performed 27 professional martial arts bouts in the UFC and in other promotions. He competed in a pro fight recently, at age 40. Jonathan is an awesome guy and a deep thinker. He has been through many challenges and we discuss some of them, including marijuana addiction, developing awareness through meditation, martial arts, and more. I really enjoyed hanging out with Jon. We recorded this episode at an open air mma gym in Nosara, Costa Rica.
