MMA MATH

In this episode, host Roberto Diaz and his co-host Joe Soto take a closer look at what it takes to make a comeback. With Urijah Faber coming back from retirement, we’ll look at why someone like Urijah, who seems financially comfortable, puts the gloves back on and tries to resurrect his career. We’ll also look at the difficulties in juggling a fighting career with being a parent, and how Julianna who took time off to become a parent, approaches her fights going forward. We’ll also explore making tough decisions, what it takes to polish up after years of no combat, changing careers, and where Urijah and Julianna fit in the current bantamweight divisions.
