It was suggested to me to give a more formal introduction on here so here goes…I’m a Boston College graduate and former Div 1 soccer player. I’m a 5th degree black belt in BJJ and former MMA fighter that also specialized in Muay Thai. I fought MMA professionally in the UFC for 7 years. Fought for 3 world titles in 2 different weight classes and went on to broadcast for ESPN, the UFC, Fox Sports, the PFL and for a show called BattleBots on ABC and Discovery. I currently co-host the Anik and Florian Podcast where we breakdown and talk MMA. I’m a big supporter of Bitcoin and all tools of freedom. I’m an avid practitioner of firearms and enjoy teaching martial arts and self-defense. I’ve been doing so for over 25 years with a few of businesses on both coasts, Florian Martial Arts Center in Brookline MA being one of them. I’m here to connect with others regarding MMA, bitcoin, martial arts and martial arts education.

Welcome. Loved your fights. Big heart. You’ll like it here.

Glad another legend is on here

the soccer part is interesting.. explains maybe a little bit your good footwork.. i think it comes more natural to soccer players or dancers

any tips on how to learn a form of martial arts when living far away from civilization?

And any preference as to which?

Did karate long while back and could get back into it, but finding and visiting a club is out of my current possibilities.

Welcome!

Always enjoyed your personality in the UFC.

I was stoked when you started talking about Bitcoin! Great to have you here on NOSTR welcome!

Welcome to the decentralized revolution. 🙏

I watched a lot of your fights back in the day: Penn, Sanchez, Guido, etc.

Love seeing disciplined athletes who competed at the top levels of their game finding their way into Bitcoin and NOSTR.
