Stirring the Pot & Fighter Accountability with Alex Mioc

Alex Mioc is back for his second appearance on the California Sober Podcast, and as always, he isn’t holding anything back. Alex is known in the SoCal fight community for helping start The Den Muay Thai before eventually stepping away and passing the torch to his friend. But online, he is infamous as the mastermind behind the viral Instagram page Cali Fight Pull Out—a page completely dedicated to calling out fighters who back out of matchups with weak excuses. While running the page has stirred up massive pots and made him plenty of enemies in the scene, there is no denying it is funny as hell. More importantly, it brings a necessary level of accountability to the local fight game. Moe addresses the elephant in the room right off the bat: this episode is a bit dated. Life and schedules have a habit of getting in the way, which threw off the normal drop timeline, but the conversation is too good to leave in the vault. What is covered in this episode: * The Cali Fight Pull Out Era: Alex breaks down the chaos of running the page, the hate mail he received, and why calling out fighters is a necessary tool for the sport. * The Mess Inside ONE Championship: Moe and Alex dive into the current state of ONE FC, analyzing the organization’s financial struggles and the massive controversy surrounding them suing their premier mega-star, Rodtang, over contract breaches. * The Motherland of Muay Thai: Shifting gears to global striking, they discuss the upcoming WBC Amazing MuayThai World Festival 2026 in Thailand and what it means for the international fight scene. Even with a slight delay on the release, this is an unfiltered, insightful listen for anyone invested in the fight world from the local grass roots to the global promotions.  WATCH THE FULL CONVERSATION NOW!  #AlexMioc #CaliFightPullOut #CaliforniaSoberPodcast #Moe #TheDenMuayThai #ONEChampionship #Rodtang #WBCMuayThai #Thailand2026 #FighterAccountability #SoCalFightScene #MuayThai #CombatSports #GymCulture #MMAUpdate

Thailand Bound: The Subfighter Brotherhood with Garret Boyer and Moses Murrieta

In this high-level episode of the California Sober Podcast, we’re joined by two of Subfighter MMA’s most dangerous strikers as they prepare for massive career milestones. Moe sits down with Garret "Garrbear" Boyer and Moses Murrieta to bridge the gap between the SoCal fight scene and the elite stadiums of Thailand. Garret Boyer is a man of many crafts, balancing his career as a professional body piercer and tattoo artist with a relentless training schedule at Subfighter MMA and Vital Force Muay Thai. Garret is currently deep in a grueling camp as he readies himself to take his skills to the birthplace of the sport for the WBC World Muay Thai Festival 2026. He shares the mental shifts required to compete on a global stage and how his artistic precision in the shop translates to his technical striking in the ring. During this conversation, Garret shares a deeply personal mission that goes far beyond the ring. He opens up about his 3-year-old niece, Brilee Mae Kirk, and her courageous battle against Neuroblastoma. Garret is fighting for more than just a trophy; he is fighting for family. He has a GoFundMe linked in his bio to help support Brilee’s journey and medical fight, and we encourage the community to check that out and show some love to the family. Joining the conversation is Moses Murrieta, a seasoned veteran and the current ISKA Champion who hones his world-class striking at Rising Sons Muay Thai. Moses brings an invaluable perspective to the episode, having lived and fought in Thailand for an extended period. He provides a raw look at what it truly means to breathe the Muay Thai lifestyle 24/7 in the motherland and how that immersion helped him secure his current title. Together, they discuss the unique bond formed at Subfighter, the technical nuances of elite-level striking, and what the future holds for the team as they continue to stack belts and international experience. Whether you are curious about the culture of Thai training or want to hear how a professional artist handles a world-class fight camp, this episode covers the full spectrum of the warrior lifestyle. socials Garret ig-https://www.instagram.com/garrbear13/ [https://www.instagram.com/garrbear13/] Moses https://www.instagram.com/moses___murrietta/ [https://www.instagram.com/moses___murrietta/]  Brilee Mae Kirk go fund me (garrets niece battling Neuroblastoma) https://www.gofundme.com/f/standing-with-brilee-mae-through-her-battle?attribution_id=sl:552a675f-714f-431e-a48f-a43834fc6c0a&lang=en_US&ts=1771985657&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp17_tb&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=instagram_story [https://www.gofundme.com/f/standing-with-brilee-mae-through-her-battle?attribution_id=sl:552a675f-714f-431e-a48f-a43834fc6c0a&lang=en_US&ts=1771985657&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp17_tb&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=instagram_story] #GarretBoyer #MosesMurrieta #SubfighterMMA #WBCMuayThai #Thailand2026 #ISKABelt #VitalForceMuayThai #RisingSonsMuayThai #CaliforniaSoberPodcast #Moe #BangkokBound #MuayThaiLife #Striking #MMALife #WBCFestival #TattooArtistFighter #BrileeStrong #NeuroblastomaAwareness #FightForBrilee

On this episode, we’re joined by Evan Ortiz, the man headlining the WCK Muay Thai card in Westminster on April 25th. Evan is stepping into a high-stakes, full-rules Title Fight, and his opponent is someone very familiar to the show: Moe’s close friend and teammate, Drew Castrejon. While the stakes are high, the California Sober Podcast is a safe space for all warriors. Evan sits down with Moe to discuss how his journey through the sport has led him to this massive moment. We trace his roots back to the infamous Double Dose Muay Thai under Bryan Dobler, his time with Cody Sessions and Squirrel Muay Thai at Xfit Combat Sports, and the evolution that led him to start his own team, Emperor Muay Thai. Evan’s mission for April 25th isn't just about a belt; it’s about showing his students at Empire that through hard work and heart, anyone can step into the bright lights. But there’s more to Evan than just the ring. In a touching and vulnerable moment, Evan shares his deep passion for animals. He tells a heartbreaking story about the neglect he has witnessed through his work and shares his ultimate dream: opening a Muay Thai gym and a pet sanctuary side-by-side. Moe even pitches the idea of "Muay Thai for Pets" under one roof! Tune in to hear from a fighter who is truly fighting for more than just himself.
