    Ep 288 Homer Moore Career & Controversy

    Homer Moore started him MMA journey with a Richard Hamilton who was a criminal coach enrolled in the witness protection program

    He later connected with Sammy the Bull Gravano where he was arrested for an over a decade old m*rder

    Homer Moore takes us through these troubling times while also addressing why he tried to street fight Rick Roufus, getting targeted at the Lions Den and the truth about the notorious rigged fight involving Chael Sonnen.
