In this episode I sat down with Trekko before the Australian Grappling Federation's Event #1 This was an event designed to put more money in the Athlete's pockets with 4 x $1,000 Jiu Jitsu 8 man brackets.

Trekko was one of the early generation MMA fighters in Australia so it was awesome to be able to sit down and listen to his stories, from growing up in Rio de Janeiro to coming to Australia, training, competing and much more.

I had the pleasure of MCing and Commentating for this event and I look forward to being involved with more Australian Grappling Federation events in the future.

Enjoy!
