Cody THE RENEGADE Gibson came on the show and
KILLED IT!
If you don't know who Cody is you probably saw his most recent viral flying knee on ESPN just a few weeks ago, OR you might recognize him from
If you didn't already know, Cody was adopted at a very early age along with his brother. Which is how he ended up here in Visalia.
You'll learn why he was always destined to be in Combat sports, because ever since he was a little kid he had that itch to fight. Rest assured, it was for the right reasons.
He was the guy beating up on the schoolyard bullies. As a standout College Wrestler, Cody eventually found his way into the underground MMA world, which 10 years ago did not look like what you see today. Today the amateur scene is pretty popular and there are a couple of Big Amateur promotions that are state sanctioned Back in the day, there was no state sanctioned events in the Central Valley
Eventually Cody made a name for himself, and kept on pushing, and he got his UFC Start against Aljamain Sterling. Fun fact: it was both of their career debuts that night.
After a rocky start the UFC terminated Cody, and it was a LONG ROAD to get back into the UFC. It took 9 years for Cody to make his appearance on The UFC's The UltimateFighter. During those 9 years Cody DID NOT give up on his dream. Even when things seemed out of reach. Cody kept on pushing on. For some perspective he is also a FULL Time Teacher and DAD
Cody also expressed the really supporting role his wife had as he pushed on and pursued his dream to get back into the UFC and make fighting a career that can pay the bills.
We get into what it was like to be in the building with Chandler and McGregor
Overall, Cody's story is one of perseverance, and relentlessness. He never gave up, and he kept on pushing. He's living proof that if you never quit you will reach your goals
This episode has it all.
