[@jaideepbura1936]

The best thing about Firas and something I think alot of people should take away from his podcasts is that even though he is wise and smart, he never is egotistical about it. He is always willing to listen and gain knowledge from others and is never acting like a know it all.

[@TheTokoUate]

Jaideep Bura facts very humble guy that’s slow to speak but quick to listen

[@dkoli]

Hes not that smart, perhaps by MMA standards, but not really.

[@Joeytrib1985]

Firas is a true modern day philosopher warrior. A fountain of wisdom and knowledge. Watch his individual videos. So much more to offer.

[@gabriel2791]

I feel enlightened whenever I listen to these two powerful dudes , wether it’s mma, or not . Best one yet joe!!

[@anthonyburnette7310]

Joe has been lacking on the mma content way to pivot back

[@martyridds1]

Purely subjective based on my own enjoyment: Firas is in my top 10 all-time JRE guests.

[@Merrick]

I haven't watched a ton of these, so I'd say Firas is like, top 3 easy, I really enjoy when graham hancock is on there too. Any recommendations?

[@martyridds1]

@@Merrick yeah the first one with Firas was one that I still think about. Agreed on Graham Hancock. It would actually be interesting to make a top 10. Off the top of my head, some recent ones that are memorable for me: Ross Edgely, Fred Morin+David Mcmillan, Adam Greentree, Ed Calderon, the black keys

[@Merrick]

@@martyridds1 Thanks so much, I'll check them out cheers

[@dominickschrute3084]

Him and Danaher were the best of the mma podcasts for me. GSP was also good.

@@dominickschrute3084 totally agree. Danaher's commentary of Gordon vs Cyborg was a big reason I became interested in following the bjj scene.
