Julien opens up about the mental changes he's made, what it really means to put everything on the line, and his upcoming fight against Nick Galanti at UFC Edmonton. We also share an emotional conversation about losing his beloved dog Zara after 13 years together, and the arrival of his second son just days later. This is about more than fighting.

    Chad Anheliger’s UFC Comeback + Ben Leece WINS… Then Breaks His Hand! | The MM-EH SHOW Episode 24

    THE MM-EH SHOW EPISODE 024 IS HERE!   From a UFC veteran returning after nearly two years away, to one of Nova Scotia’s most entertaining prospects, to two young amateurs putting in the work on the Canadian regional scene — Episode 24 of The MM-EH Show covers Canadian MMA from top to bottom.   🥊 CHAD “THE MONSTER” ANHELIGER   After nearly two years away from the Octagon following a serious knee injury, Chad Anheliger is finally ready to return.   The Calgary veteran joins me ahead of his October 17 fight against Steven Koslow at UFC Edmonton.   We talk about the long road back, becoming a father, his role at Champions Creed, and what it means to finally get another opportunity to step inside the UFC Octagon.   🥊 BEN LEECE   The hot tub interview was BEFORE the fight.   This one is AFTER. 😂   I caught up with Ben immediately following his impressive first-round stoppage of Lorenzo Celis in the FLA 26 main event.   There was one slight problem…   Ben broke his hand.   With his right hand wrapped up and iced, we resorted to the left-handed handshake and talked about the fight, the injury, what comes next — and a potential matchup with another highly regarded Canadian prospect that could be waiting for him once he's healthy.   🥊 BRAYDEN TODD   “I’ve never been in a fight that’s not fireworks.”   Adrenaline MMA’s Brayden Todd joins TMS ahead of his amateur bout against Trammell Arrington at Rising Stars in London, Ontario.   Todd isn't promising a boring fight.   He’s promising a highlight.   🥊 EDDIE “THE ACTION MAN” FELVINTI   At just 18 years old, Eddie Felvinti is already learning one of the most important lessons in MMA: the record doesn't always tell the story.   The 519 Jiu-Jitsu fighter enters Mayhem 5 against Mustapha Bouraoui looking to turn experience into results as he continues developing his game and competing at a lower weight class.   His prediction?   “Expect a war.”   🚨 PLUS: JAMIE-LYN HORTH UFC EDMONTON UPDATE   Unfortunately, Jamie-Lyn Horth has been forced to withdraw from her UFC Edmonton bout due to injury.   Whatever happens at the highest level of the UFC or inside a regional amateur cage, The MM-EH Show has one focus:   CANADIAN MIXED MARTIAL ARTS.   If you're a Canadian MMA fan, please help me continue building this thing.   ▶️ Subscribe on YouTube 👍 Like the episode 💬 Leave a comment Tell me who YOU want to see on TMS next   I travel across Canada covering these fighters because I genuinely believe Canadian MMA deserves dedicated coverage.   From British Columbia to Nova Scotia and everywhere in between.   This is The MM-EH Show.   Canadian MMA.

    Bobby Murda, The Canceled Hannah/Charlene Fight, Luc de Ste Croix, and Edwyn Petrea's 1st Rd TKO

    The MM-EH Show — Episode 23 🥊 Episode 23 is loaded with Canadian MMA — from an undefeated prospect fighting south of the border, to FLA 26 in Nova Scotia, and the debut of a brand-new MM-EH Show segment. 🔥 Ferdaws “Bobby Murda” Nayimi Ferdaws joins me for one of our more personal and introspective conversations. The undefeated 7-0 Canadian pro talks about growing up in Afghanistan, his family's journey to Canada, discovering combat sports and the experiences that shaped the fighter — and person — he is today. Now he heads to Pennsylvania looking to keep that perfect record intact. 🥊 Hannah Taylor & Charlene Barkhouse — the fight that almost was. Former Canadian Olympic wrestler Hannah Taylor was scheduled to meet BJJ black belt Charlene Barkhouse at FLA 26 in what was one of the most intriguing matchups on the card. Unfortunately, Hannah was forced to withdraw due to injury after both interviews had been recorded. I'm keeping both conversations in Episode 23. You'll hear exactly where each woman was mentally just days before they were supposed to meet, Hannah's transition from elite wrestling into MMA, and Charlene's preparation for her professional debut. Hopefully we eventually get to see this matchup. For now, we wish Hannah a speedy recovery. ⚔️ Luc de Ste Croix vs. Allan Ruiz — FLA 26 Luc de Ste Croix is 3-0 as a professional and is beginning to make a serious push toward becoming a full-time fighter. Training at Tower 1 MMA under Gavin Tucker, Luc faces the experienced and durable Allan Ruiz this weekend at FLA 26 in Pictou, Nova Scotia. NEW: Canadian Prospect of the Week We're launching a new regular feature on The MM-EH Show, and our first Canadian Prospect of the Week is Edwyn Petrea. At just 18 years old, the Tristar MMA prospect is already 2-0 as a professional. Edwyn joins me following his victory at Unified MMA 69, where he ended the fight with a vicious liver shot with only four seconds remaining in the opening round. We also talk about his development at Tristar and what it's like getting the opportunity to train alongside Georges St-Pierre. Remember the name: Edwyn Petrea.
