On this episode of The Ed Clay Show, Ed sits down with Ian Heinisch who shares one of the craziest life stories you've ever heard!
Ian's troubled past starts at a young age with drug addiction. After getting arrested for drug dealing he would flee the US and become an international fugitive on the run. Bouncing around Europe would eventually lead him to become involved in an international drug smuggling operation. After narrowly escaping the authorities he was eventually arrested and put behind bars in a Spanish prison. There he learned traditional Spanish wrestling, how to survive prison life, and even found himself creating an MMA program for inmates.
After his release in Spain, he would come back to America only to be arrested again and put behind bars in Rikers Island, considered one of the most vicious prisons in the US. There he would fight every day to survive, leading to a climactic prison brawl that put a target on his back. He was soon transferred out of Rikers and eventually found his way back to Colorado as a free man for the first time in 5 years.
Ian wasn't out of the woods yet though, he would still struggle on and off with addiction before finally finding his salvation, being baptized, and giving his life to God. Ian has since become an MMA champion and a UFC fighter in the UFC middleweight division. Now Ian is committed to giving back and has a dream of developing a ranch where troubled youth can come and find their peace.
