Coach Erick gave me the clothes off his back, nursed me, and bathed me everyday until I was able to walk on my own. He believed in me when nobody else did. He's done more for me than any parent ever will. I will forever be indebted to this incredible man.

Also as far as JAXXON products , a few years ago , long before this podcast I had lost all of my expensive nice jewelry and I was able to buy an affordable but great looking cuban link. I still have it to this day and get compliments all the time. Thank you fellas and my bad for the long ass comment haha.

Coach Eric picked me up off the streets and housed me while helping me detox from my addictions. He gave me a letter of recommendation and connected me with my first job sweeping hair at an Iranian barbershop.

Among many other things that make this podcast amazing is the fact that the seating is perfect. When there's 2 people on one side of the table it makes it much worse. Tringle like yall have it is perfect.

[@bolsbolbol368]

Nicksick is a good dude. Comes from a good family.

[@BadTime4Real]

Great guest, one of the top coaches out there. Rampage always keeps it real. This pod has got me more interested in BJJ & the coaching side of fighting. Hopefully the Sugar Hill Gang has a safe landing while flying Manifest Airlines.

[@mrpenumpela]

Thank you for this podcast

[@counterhit121]

I realized yesterday when I listened to two of these back to back, that this has basically become my main MMA pod. Rogan's isn't fun anymore bc half the time, he's like that old uncle who keeps repeating himself, talking over the guests, and steering the conversation into stale political arguments. Good balance here between the grizzled vet Rampage and the thoughtful, but down to earth Sheckler, who bounce off each other and draw the best out of their guests. I would say that I hope you guys blow up, but I feel like that's inevitable. So instead I'll say, I hope you guys stay as cool as you are now when it happens.

[@timslee0618]

Xtreme Couture MMA Gym had a lot of coaches and trainers come and go. One coach sadly passed away (RIP Robert Follis). I'm glad they got Coach Nicksick. Not sure how true this is but apparently he started off as a BJJ student at XC.

[@AyAngelchillfoo1315]

That’s the coach that killed himself right ?

[@timslee0618]

@AyAngelchillfoo1315 yes, that was Robert Follis who took his own life and he told Xtreme Couture that he was leaving his coaching position. A couple weeks after that he took his own life. Robert Follis impacted a lot of other coaches as well like Tim Welch (Sean O'Malley coach) who used to be roommates with him

Sean will give Rampage his all sparing with him just out of respect for the LEGEND⛓. Speaking of, I think it'll be a good idea for Rampage to bring him in for that camp. Sean does have similar style to The Canon man and Rampage ain't got to worry about cardio issues come fight night🥊
