TBM Michael Kingrey

Welcome back to another episode of Thicc Boy Mafia — where good conversations meet wild hypotheticals and deep dives into the Jiu Jitsu lifestyle.

Michael opens up about serious health issues he’s battled and how he’s overcome them with grit, mindset, and purpose. And because it wouldn’t be TBM without a little chaos, we also break down the ultimate matchup: 100 men vs 1 gorilla—and Michael doesn’t hold back on how he thinks it would go down. This one’s full of insight, laughs, and some powerful moments. So whether you’re here for the technique talk or the madness, you’re in for a ride.
