Brian McLaughlin Deep Dive

Ep 297 Brian McLaughlin Deep Dive 

Brian McLaughlin is one of the sports unsung heroes; most widely known as Jim Miller’s BJJ coach, Brian takes us through some incredible highs when competing against names such as Wilson Reis and Ryan Hall.  

We also hit a few controversial topics like Gene Simco, Dillon Danis and the often times “hard attitudes” of the Atlantic Northeast. 

It’s a great listen with a legend of the sport
