The Good, The Bad & The Beast

This week on The Good, The Bad & The Beast, Eddie is joined by UFC featherweight contender Arnold Allen. Known for his sharp hands and slick submissions inside the Octagon, Arnold grew up in a family built for strength - with both his dad and brother competing as strongmen, just like Eddie himself. In this fun and wide-ranging chat, Arnold talks about his crazy journey from his amateur fight at 14 to the UFC, how his unusual family background shaped his fighting career and why a Sunday roast in the Allen household probably doubles as a strongman competition. Still chasing UFC gold while keeping things grounded back home, Arnold Allen proves that being tough runs in the family. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In Episode 3 of The Good, The Bad & The Beast, Eddie Hall sits down with adventurer and athlete Ross Edgley, the man redefining the limits of human endurance. Ross shares how a relentless hunger to test himself led him to break world records, from the world’s longest staged sea swim around Great Britain to mind-bending rope climbs that would leave most crawling.
