The MM-EH Show — Episode 23 🥊
Episode 23 is loaded with Canadian MMA — from an undefeated prospect fighting south of the border, to FLA 26 in Nova Scotia, and the debut of a brand-new MM-EH Show segment.
🔥 Ferdaws “Bobby Murda” Nayimi
Ferdaws joins me for one of our more personal and introspective conversations. The undefeated 7-0 Canadian pro talks about growing up in Afghanistan, his family’s journey to Canada, discovering combat sports and the experiences that shaped the fighter — and person — he is today.
Now he heads to Pennsylvania looking to keep that perfect record intact.
🥊 Hannah Taylor & Charlene Barkhouse — the fight that almost was.
Former Canadian Olympic wrestler Hannah Taylor was scheduled to meet BJJ black belt Charlene Barkhouse at FLA 26 in what was one of the most intriguing matchups on the card.
Unfortunately, Hannah was forced to withdraw due to injury after both interviews had been recorded.
I’m keeping both conversations in Episode 23. You’ll hear exactly where each woman was mentally just days before they were supposed to meet, Hannah’s transition from elite wrestling into MMA, and Charlene’s preparation for her professional debut.
Hopefully we eventually get to see this matchup. For now, we wish Hannah a speedy recovery.
⚔️ Luc de Ste Croix vs. Allan Ruiz — FLA 26
Luc de Ste Croix is 3-0 as a professional and is beginning to make a serious push toward becoming a full-time fighter.
Training at Tower 1 MMA under Gavin Tucker, Luc faces the experienced and durable Allan Ruiz this weekend at FLA 26 in Pictou, Nova Scotia.
NEW: Canadian Prospect of the Week
We’re launching a new regular feature on The MM-EH Show, and our first Canadian Prospect of the Week is Edwyn Petrea.
At just 18 years old, the Tristar MMA prospect is already 2-0 as a professional.
Edwyn joins me following his victory at Unified MMA 69, where he ended the fight with a vicious liver shot with only four seconds remaining in the opening round. We also talk about his development at Tristar and what it’s like getting the opportunity to train alongside Georges St-Pierre.
Remember the name: Edwyn Petrea.
Episode 23 of The MM-EH Show — Canadian mixed martial arts and ONLY Canadian mixed martial arts.
