#80: Dejan Kajic - Why Jiu Jitsu Exposes True Character, Happiness vs. Respect, and Bosnia 

Lyndon Whitlock

Super show full of Canadian talent across the board!  Were talking to three Canadian MMA athletes who put a mark on the sport here in our country!  Starting off with Dejan Kajic, originally from Bosnia &amp; Herzegovina and moving to Canada in the mid 90's to avoid the war, ending up in Vancouver.  As he says, it's like winning the life lottery to end up in Vancouver and our beautiful country of Canada.  A record of 12-7, we spoke about some of the things he could have done differently throughout his career, the goal of reaching the highest level of our sport, past fight issues and why promoters need to understand what roles they play.  Lyndon Whitlock, an athlete who spent alot of time on the East Coast during his fight career competing quite a few times for ECC and Elite 1 along with other promotions in Canada.  Lyndon was a guy I grew up seeing on TV when the sport was taking off in our country.  A stand up guy who always was super entertaining to watch and really made me love this sport!  A motivator, genuine person and a guy that's really helping Parabellum MMA become one of the top gyms in Canada!  Finally, we had the Belt Collector, Mr. Matt MacGrath join us to chat about the early days of MMA in Nova Scotia.  Training with Team Titans and the incredible team they had and the talent that was produced.  We spoke about the big events, why he got into the sport and the success that came with it.  We spoke about his love of his family, the decision to step away from the sport and his new role of training at his beautiful facility in PEI.    A true legend of Canadian MMA and a guy who has done alot for the East Coast Scene!  Thanks to all the guys on the show and everyone that has helped them this far in the career!  Great listen, tonnes of wisdom for up and coming athletes!  Enjoy!
