This isn't your typical fight podcast. This is a live event inside the only collegiate combat sports program in the country, where Hall of Famers across boxing, MMA, and basketball are building something nobody's ever seen before. Andre breaks down what it means to be the GM of a college boxing team. Urijah lays out his full vision for creating a legitimate pathway from college to the UFC. Dr. Luke Wood shares his unbelievable journey from being born in prison and living in his car at Sac State to becoming its president. Mike Bibby talks about convincing Shaq to be the basketball GM in five seconds flat, coaching with his son, and what it's really like rebuilding a program from scratch with 15 new players. And Ayahna Gonzales, Sac State's first female boxing All-American, talks about her path from gymnastics to the ring and why she wants to be a doctor, not a pro boxer.
