This is a milestone podcast as we broke at least a couple of records and probably multiple milestones. In the early stages of the episode our host Darren Campbell gets into the details on the life accomplishment records Jeff Meszaros would have set in the history of this podcast! When you watch and listen please let us know if we were correct in our assessment.

There is a short intro from Darren but thankfully Jeff gets into much greater detail on his colorful life history. He talks about being a long time martial arts practitioner(36 years and counting), a Jiu Jitsu instructor, a long time radio guy, and MMA journalist among other things. Jeff Wombat Meszaros is a pioneer starting with the early days of underground forums that is now www.mixedmartialarts.com . Those early days were also the first years of the internet and they were basically chat groups for the MMA enthusiasts. The Wombat had funny takes and got a name for himself that started leading to more opportunities. Arnold Lim who had a website called MMA ring report asked Jeff to write UFC predictions for the site. This opened doors and Jeff smashed them down and started to become a well known and respected MMA journalist. He wrote for numerous fight magazines with humor, wit and unprecedented insight to the combat world. This eventually led to a once in a lifetime opportunity with BodogTV to be a fulltime travelling MMA reporter. He was sent by them all over the world to cover mixed martial arts events. He had been working full time in the radio business and was a part time writer for MMA. He quit radio and jumped at the chance to make this hobby become his career. You really have to listen and watch to the rest of the podcast to hear the stories and gain insight to a great life well lived.

Thank you Jeff for a small piece of your valuable time and for sharing stories and reflection on the first few chapters of your life! We talked for almost two hours and have condensed this down to less than an hour but plan on publishing a few more shorter segments over the coming days. It would be nice to have Jeff as a semi regular guest as well because he has a lifetime of stories that should be shared again. He also is continuing to give a lot to his community by teaching jiu jitsu to many people that get the huge benefits of training in martial arts.

Thanks again Jeff!

Enjoy,

Take care,

Love yah,

Bye for now!
