Kamuela and Santino are back and talking MMA after a long hiatus due to the Covid craziness! It's great to be back in the studio and recording again! The duo starts out talking about Santino's upcoming trip to Abu Dhabi's Fight Island, where Santino will be cornering Tracy Cortez and the Korean Zombie, Chang Sung Jung. Then they talk about the topic of the century (or Santino, anyway)--Israel Adesenya's performance, and something very conspicuous (separate from the fight), and t...

Don't miss this episode with Kamuela and Santino--it may be the very best episode yet. The dynamic duo talk about the UFC fights in Jacksonville, and all of the controversial stoppages (and non-stoppages) as well as the judging and how the dynamic of fight week was completely different due to the Covid pandemic and the lack of crowd. Santino was there cornering two fighters, and he gives an inside look into the "new normal" for UFC fights for the foreseeable future. They then gi...

Jordan Johnson joins me on this episode of Santino's World of MMA. Jordan was an Illinois state champion and University of Iowa wrestler under Tom and Terry Brands before he transitioned to MMA, where he went 4-0 in the UFC before signing with the PFL, where he was the runner up in the $1 million light heavyweight tournament. Jordan and I talk about his MMA career, which brought him to Arizona from Iowa to train at the MMA Lab. We talk about how he slept in a pantry, a travel trailer, a g...

Santino and Kamuela talk about the upcoming fight between GOAT Jon Jones and Dominick Reyes. Does Reyes athleticism give him the extra "it factor" needed to dethrone one of the best to ever step in the cage, or will Jones savvy technique and long reach be too much for the undefeated challenger? Also, steroids are becoming a problem in the sport of MMA again. We thought we'd solved something with USADA coming into the UFC, but there are so many other organizations now that don't use the stringen...
