Welcome back to Fight Capital! Today, I'm joined by MMA legend Ian McCall, whose career spans battles in the UFC and WEC. Ian has transitioned from the ring to aid fellow athletes through his new non-profit, Athlete's Journey Home, using plant medicine ceremonies and scientific studies to tackle brain injuries and inflammatory diseases. This stems from his work in sports medicine and performance integration with the McCall Method.
Ian shares his new coaching experience with Bare Knuckle Boxing star Mark "The Shark" Irwin and announces his return to competition at the Subversiv Combat BJJ event on July 22, 2023, which will help raise funds for his non-profit. We'll explore Ian's journey from a celebrated fighter to a pioneering force in plant medicine in sports medicine. Don't miss this fascinating dive into the combat sports business.
