Rich Chou has done it all in the sport of MMA. A Scott Coker protégé, he oversaw the booking of so many big fights in Rumble on the Rock, EliteXC, Strikeforce, and Bellator. On this week's show, Chou discusses his formative years, including his lone MMA fight, his crossover to the operations side of the sport, working with the Penn Family, what goes into making the matches fans want to see and so much more. We dive into his run with Strikeforce, reminiscing on what made the promotion so very special. And, hear Rich discuss his exciting new venture, Wimp 2 Warrior. There's so much in this packed episode...do us a favor and tell other MMA fans about it!
