#ChrisBrennan #LytesOut #MMAHistory CHRIS BRENNAN - Before The UFC DEEPDIVE (part 1, ep 76)
Now Chris Brennan is an old school guy, but you may not have realized just how OLDSCHOOL he is! His MMA roots go back to 1993, the first time he was choked out in Brazil was by the legendary Fabio Gurghel and he calls the controversial JJ Black Belt Marc Laimon a friend... this is just for starters.
So, once Lytle and company got to talking with Brennan we didn't stop! This is part 1 of our early career talk with the awesome "Westside Strangler."
