Chris Alfonso
Muay thai practitioner and BJJ purple belt Chris Alfonso aka Puerto Rican Chris joins Rich and Lance in studio. They talk about Chris’s time at American Top Team in Florida, picking up jiu jitsu, being overweight before picking up martial arts, and his upcoming trip to Vegas for the IBJJF World Master Championship. They also foolishly try to watch the UFC during the recording. This one is all over the place, but it’s a good time!
