In episode 8, Brendan catches up with fellow Massachusetts native and UFC featherweight contender Calvin Kattar.

Calvin talks about his days growing up in a big family, getting into wrestling in high school and why he always wished he could just punch someone in the face during those matches.

Later, after discovering MMA, he was hooked after winning his first pro fight.  He talks about managing the early days as a pro, getting into the promotion side of the business in New England, and after several years off, deciding to jump back into competing.

The biggest moment of his career to date came in January of 2018, when he beat Shane Burgos by TKO in the 3rd round, earning him a Fight of the Night bonus in his home city.

After a first round KO of Ricardo Lamas, he has his sights on the top of the UFC's featherweight division.
