Episode 64: The Journey Through Grit and Growth Inside the Cage
What happens when a late-start wrestler with a boxing legacy finds his calling in the cage—and never looks back?
In this high-energy episode, Lawrence LeBrocq sits down with undefeated MMA fighter and CFFC light heavyweight champion Luke Fernandez. Luke shares his journey from a late start in high school wrestling to becoming a dominant force in the cage, blending grit, discipline, and a deep-rooted passion for competition.
Raised in Forked River, New Jersey, with Cuban and Italian roots, Luke opens up about the influence of his father—his boxing coach—and the family values that shaped his relentless work ethic. From struggling to find amateur boxing matches to discovering his calling in MMA under coach Dante Rivera, Luke’s story is one of perseverance, loyalty, and purpose.
What to expect in this week’s episode:
From the Mat to the Cage: How Luke’s wrestling background laid the foundation for his MMA career.
A Father’s Influence: The powerful role Luke’s dad played as both coach and motivator.
The Dante Rivera Effect: How one phone call changed everything—and launched a championship run.
Training, Cutting, Competing: What it really takes to drop 30 pounds and fight for 20 minutes at the highest level.
Fighting with Purpose: Luke’s advice for young athletes chasing dreams without privilege or a clear path.
