Hello again fight fam!
once again, we are Zooming out to Eastern Canada to chat with one of the best trainers AND FORMER FIGHTER - in Canadian Muay Thai - Mr. Eric Rocha!
Although I never met Eric before.... 2017? 18? 16?.. anyway, I met Eric down in Mexico, he and one of my fighters were fighting on the same event. I was very familiar with Eric by this point, but met him in Mexico for the 1st time and i've been following and in contact ever since! Eric is also one of the most recognizable faces in Canadian Muay Thai from him fighting around the world and on some of the biggest stages, to seeing him at ALL the events personally or pictures of him at events cornering his team, to his awesome and clever Muay Thai videos for the socials - This man is everywhere! haha
Today we chat about his change of rolls from champion fighter to champion trainer, the "Clark Kent" routine he had to pull off the keep work life separate from fight life, his travels around the world with Muay Thai, a couple awesome wins and a few not so awesome losses. And in particular, one fight we chatted about in person years ago at my gym that was a turning point in his fight career and turned me into a close follower of his.
I like Eric! I am a fan of him as a hard AF fighter, a phenomenal trainer with a real love for Muay Thai and a down to earth guy who I genuinely look forward to seeing at events! this podcast was WAY overdue in my opinion, but as always - we MAKE IT HAPPEN!!
Great chat with a great cat! SHOUT OUT TO YOU ERIC!
