Christian Hernandez defending an aggressive Lance Dixon at WCK Cali 19: Bring The Heat | Feb. 2017
My sincerest apologies fight fans for being late with this months installment of the podcast; hence this month’s title: NO EXCUSES!
Episode Part One
Duration 1:08:04
In the first half of the podcast I speak with amateur muay thai fighter Lance Dixon about his journey to an impressive 14-0 record and his ambitions of going pro. I had my first opportunity to witness Lance in the ring this past February at WCK’s CALI 19: Bring The Heat; and I captured some incredible images from that fight that you are free to enjoy and share at will. Lance Dixon is a muay thai fighter with an unblemished record of 14 wins and zero losses and currently holds three amateur titles in the welterweight division. Lance lives in Venice, California and trains and fights out of Robot Fight & Fitness under coach David Huerta.
Between the time I interviewed Lance and released this podcast episode I was finally able to meet and spar with Lance. I got my bell rung of course but enjoyed every minute of it.
Episode Part Two
In the second half of the podcast I go deep with muay thai trainer, fitness coach, gym owner and fight promoter Jamie Bradley of KruFit and Midwest Muay Thai. I first saw Jamie Bradley cornering Yeison “Yayyoo” Berdugo at Lion Fight 24 last year. I thought it unique to see a woman cornering a fighter at that level so I tracked her down to get her story; and she has an interesting story to say the least. Jamie Bradley is a muay thai instructor, gym owner and fight promoter located in Indianapolis, Indiana. She manages multiple fight brands including Midwest Muay Thai, Midwest Striking Series, Sparta Triumph Muay Thai and trains both amateur and professional fighters.
