On the latest episode of the Piestrong Podcast, we sit down with a true pioneer of combat sports, Benny “The Jet” Urquidez. A six-time world champion across five weight divisions, Benny built an extraordinary legacy in kickboxing and full-contact karate, becoming one of the most respected figures in martial arts history long before the UFC brought MMA into the mainstream. We chat about his legendary career, his time in Australia, his influence on generations of fighters and some spiritual learnings along the way. We also discuss his upcoming documentary featuring Keanu Reeves, exploring the life and legacy of one of martial arts’ all-time greats. From the golden era of full-contact fighting to his impact on modern combat sports, this is a conversation with a man who helped pave the way for the sport we know today. 📺 Watch the full episode on YouTube.

Brad, Matt and Jack are back, and we’ve got plenty to yarn about this week! We kick things off with a preview of the Rugby World Cup, run through the team lists and ask the question: are we in for one of the best tournaments we’ve seen, with talent absolutely stacked across the teams? We recap UFC Fight Night: Brendan Allen vs Christian Leroy Duncan, then look ahead to the Canadian card headlined by Buckley vs Malott. And let’s be honest, this one’s struggling to get the juices flowing. We get stuck into the latest MMA news, including Sean Strickland kicking off over fighter pay and questioning whether he’s getting paid what he deserves. We’ve also got the latest fight announcements and our dream scenario for the UFC lightweight division. Some sensible ideas, some absolute fantasy booking, and a few arguments along the way! Get around it! 🍻

Ali Arici, Dealer Principal at Dubbo Automotive, joins us to share his journey from the tools to the top. From sales and finance to managing a team and running a dealership, Ali has worn plenty of hats. We chat about his career, the lessons he’s learned along the way and the mindset that drives him both professionally and personally.

On today’s episode, we sit down with Mick “Warhorse” Whitehead for a heavy but powerful conversation about men’s mental health, resilience and the road that led him to BKFC. From street fights and being in the wrong place at the wrong time, to stepping into the bright lights of bare-knuckle fighting, Mick shares the highs, the lows and the battles that shaped the man he is today. This is a story about fighting on the outside while battling demons on the inside, hitting rock bottom and finding a way forward when life gets dark. This one goes beyond fighting. It’s about the man behind the knickles and a reminder that no bloke should have to fight his battles alone. If you’re struggling, speak up. Check in on your mates. You never know what someone is going through. A massive thanks to our sponsors. Dubbo Automotive. Cosbuild. Dubbo Macquarie Inn

Travis’ footy career was cut short at just 21 after a series of serious knee injuries. A former Dragons Under 20s player who also spent time with the Bulldogs, he was forced to walk away from playing professionally far earlier than he expected. But that wasn’t the end of his footy journey. Travis turned his experience into a career behind the scenes and now works as the Dragons’ Pathways & Operations Manager, helping develop the next generation of players and giving young footballers a pathway towards the NRL. We chat about his playing days, dealing with an early retirement, what happens inside an NRL pathways system, how clubs identify young talent, and what separates the kids who make it from those who don’t.
