In this episode of Awesome Humans, host Brett McCallum is joined by UFC fighter Dylan Andrews at our podcast studio at HQGC on the Gold Coast.
Fighter Dylan the Villain starts his story off back in Wellington New Zealand. Having grown up in a family that suffered from addiction, Dylan knows better than anyone what it's like to watch the ones he loved around him suffer. Having not enjoyed school from an early age, Dylan discovered his love and talent for sports. Having played several sports from a young age, he developed the dedication and skills across a range of sports. Growing up in a predominately white society, Dylan opens up and shares his battle with racism and what his experience was like as a young boy. No matter what life threw at this young fighter, Dylan always seemed to remain positive by staying focused on what he loved, sports.
Having left school at a young age, Dylan discovered what it took to stay dedicated and disciplined. In 2002, Dylan moved to Sydney Australia, where he first learnt martial arts, having never tried it before Dylan trained until he one day joined the UFC and would be known to many as Dylan the Villain. And that is just the start of this story.
