Veteran MMA fighter and coach Brian Geraghty sat down with the #LytesOut Podcast for more than two hours to talk fights and look back at his twelve year MMA career. Best known for his appearance on the UFC's "The Ultimate Fighter" TV show and as a member of Dave Strasser's Freestyle Academy in Wisconsin, Geraghty had a bit of a nomad's streak as well, and his list of teams and training partners is more diverse than we knew about. Over a hundred and fifty minutes and you will want more Brian Geraghty.
