After taking a couple weeks off, Fitz & A Fighter is back in a big way as Brendan sits down with UFC lightweight contender Al Iaquinta.
After getting to the UFC by winning his way to the finals of The Ultimate Fighter: Live, Iaquinta has knocked off big names like Kevin Lee, Jorge Masvidal, Ross Pearson and Diego Sanchez.
But his career took a giant step forward at UFC 223 in Brooklyn. He was on the bus that was attacked by Conor McGregor and was sitting right in front of Khabib Nurmagomedov. After a chaotic weigh-in day, forcing Max Holloway out of the title fight, Iaquinta ended up fighting for the UFC Lightweight Championship on just a day's notice instead of his original match-up against Paul Felder.
Hear all about that experience and much more on this episode!
