In this episode, the crew sits down with professional MMA fighter and Power Slap competitor Destiny McCubbin to discuss her incredible journey in combat sports. Destiny opens up about her roots growing up in Ogden, Utah, and the ultimate grind of moving to Las Vegas with only three hundred dollars to chase her fighting dreams. She shares the realities of surviving in the fight capital of the world by sleeping on couches, selling real estate, and working exhausting late-night bartending shifts just to stay afloat. The conversation dives deep into the brutal reality of competing in Dana White's Power Slap. Destiny breaks down the techniques behind taking and delivering a professional slap, the backstage controversies surrounding the coin toss, and what it was like competing internationally in Abu Dhabi. She also pulls back the curtain on the extreme, dangerous weight-cutting process fighters endure, detailing her intense water-loading protocols, sauna suit routines, and the exact rehydration shakes she uses to bounce back before stepping on the stage. The group then tackles the business side of the fight game, sharing their honest thoughts on the reality of UFC fighter pay, the lack of health insurance for athletes, and the massive payouts in influencer boxing matches featuring stars like Jake Paul and Mike Perry. Tru shares some hilarious personal stories about partying at EDC with UFC legends Nick and Nate Diaz, while Destiny discusses her own memorable interactions with Nate. Finally, Destiny talks about transitioning into sports media as an interviewer for Cageside Press and the host of her own podcast, outlining her ultimate goal to become a primary broadcaster for the UFC.
