Interview with Josh "The Dentist" Neer
Manage episode 489694668 series 3672741
In this interview, Josh Neer tells his story. At a young age, Josh became one of the pioneers of MMA in Iowa. Back when MMA was just starting to become popular, Josh competed in amateur fights that were put on at a famous bar in Des Moines called Toad Holler. Josh did really well on the amateur fight circuit, and he earned a record of 89-1.
Josh went on to compete in the UFC and became one of its most popular fighters. He earned the Fight of the Night award on three separate occasions. Josh also fought some of the UFC’s biggest names including both Nate and Nick Diaz.
Now, Josh is the head coach at Elite Edge MMA, one of the biggest MMA gyms in the state of Iowa. Josh has helped lots of young people fulfill their dreams of competing in the sport of MMA. There are also lots of older guys like me that train at Josh’s gym, for physical fitness and personal growth.
The reason I wanted to interview Josh is that there is a lot more to Josh’s story than just what you can read about him on Wikipedia. He has a lot of wisdom to share!
