Another week of cancelled fights and crazy switches, but you can count on your favorite podcast to be just the way you left it. 

Jordan Leavitt stepped into the cage for the first time as a professional in October of 2017. At just 22 years old, he had a handful of amateur fights at the time, but picked up his first win that night in a company called Gladiator Challenge in El Cajon, California. 

April 13th, 2019 - that was the last time we saw Alan Jouban step into the famed octagon. 

The UFC is back on pay-per-view this weekend, but Top Turtle is bringing you the goods for free. 

Well, our second go round on Fight Island has come to a close, but the UFC machine just keeps on running. So why not lean on the guys from Top Turtle to keep you going too. 

The fight we’ve been waiting for is finally here: Khabib vs Gaethje, and Top Turtle is bringing you all the goods.

A lot of fighters have learned their first bit of martial arts from their parents. Some even continue to keep their parents in their corner as someone who knows them best or someone who motivates them better than anyone else. 

This may be one week away from the PPV card everybody has been waiting for, but that doesn’t mean the UFC event this weekend isn’t still bringing the heat. And, of course, Top Turtle is as well. 

Fight Island is bringing the fire again and Top Turtle isn’t letting off of the gas. 

 Fight To Win is set to throw their first event since the shutdown occurred earlier this spring on May 15 & 16. CEO Seth Daniels lays out the protocols and safety measures being enacted to bring back professional jiu-jitsu in the era of COVID 19.

After 27 fights by which he is functionally still undefeated (yes, I realize he has a loss on his record), we’ve heard pretty much everything when it comes to why this challenger will be the one. Especially since he’s become champ, it seems like every challenger that pops up has something that fans who want to see Jones go down latch on to and others write off. 

It’s an unfortunate truth that in MMA, professional fighters often work second jobs to support themselves. 

From 2016-2018 Mauricio Oliveira of GF Team was one of the hottest prospects in jiu-jitsu, winning Worlds at blue, purple, and brown belt in consecutive years. 

There’s been plenty of instances of fighters suffering the ill effects of elevation inside the cage. 

Carlos Diego Ferreira recently stopped by the Top Turtle MMA Podcast to discuss a number of topics including his upcoming fight in Abu Dhabi.
