Summary

Rich Franklin is a legend, both inside and outside the Octagon. A middleweight title holder, and UFC Hall of Famer, Franklin built a career on toughness, fight IQ, and unbelievable resiliency—he once knocked out Chuck Liddell with a broken arm. Outside the ring, he’s just as driven. In business, in faith, and in his health, Rich Franklin has an unbreakable spirit that keeps him pushing forward. In part one of a two-part conversation, Rich and Brian discuss MMA, his storied UFC career, that unbelievable fight against Chuck Liddell, and how his aggressive life only sped up after leaving the Octagon behind.
