    ZION CLARK UNFILTERED: Preparing for WingedC, Skateboarding Injuries & Dream Drops a New Track!

    In this wild, raw, and completely unpredictable episode of the California Sober Podcast, Dream pulls back up to the studio and brings along a true combat sports force—Zion Clark!Born with caudal regression syndrome and growing up without legs, Zion spent his early life fighting through the foster care system before transforming himself into an elite collegiate wrestler, world-record track athlete, professional MMA fighter, and high-level BJJ practitioner. Zion sits down with host Moe and Dream to open up about his relentless mindset, his transition into combat sports, and the exact fight mechanics he's bringing into his upcoming clash against former podcast guest WingedC.However, in true California Sober fashion, this episode turned into pure studio chaos. Just 24 hours before stepping in front of our cameras, Zion took a heavy fall while skateboarding and injured his arm. Despite the pain, he showed up to chop it up with us, but we had to cut the sit-down interview short so he could head straight to recovery and treat the injury. On top of that, right in the middle of our conversation, our main podcast microphones completely blew out. Rather than scrapping the raw footage and missing out on Zion's insights, we decided to push forward, throwing it over to the camera audio to capture the rest of the unscripted exchange.To cap off an insane session, Dream takes over the studio to deliver an exclusive live performance, dropping a brand-new, unreleased track he's been cooking up behind closed doors! From overcoming incredible odds to prepping for a high-stakes matchup and dealing with live-studio mayhem, this is easily one of the most resilient and authentic episodes we've ever released. LEAVE A COMMENT: Who do you have winning when Zion Clark steps into the cage with WingedC?
