Ever have a tough day of training?  How about a time when you just want to take the day off?  Next time those thoughts creep into your mind remember our conversation with Bob 'Fatback' Bacon.  This man started his career as an amateur fighter at the age of 30 and went on to become 2x Fight of the Year winner, following that second award he fought something bigger and beyond what the octagon could ever hold - cancer.  Nonetheless, Bacon had both his lymph-nodes and thyroid removed, experienced elevated levels of TSH which led to teeth removal as well as head and neck radiation yet this warrior did not stop training until the hair on the back of his head started falling out in the treatment field... why?  Tune in to find out.
