Shout Out Fight Podcast #128 "Professional champion from Westside Muay Thai - Ben Pride!"

Hello again fighty friends! April 5 I was had the opportunity to go commentate in our National capital for the Capital Punishment promotion which is organized by retired (maybe...) professional fighter and now coach, Mr. Ben Pride of Westside Muay Thai in Ottawa, Ontario. I have known Ben ever since June, 2014 when he fought a former fighter of mine on Journey Fight Series (shout out to team Smandych! we miss JFS!!!) in an 8-man tournament, and I have been following Ben ever since! We have a chat about his event - Capital Punishment and what his motivation is to host a fight event, of course we talk about some of the key match ups that went down including the main event for the Muay Thai Canada national title. I ask Ben where and when he found Muay Thai, Ben tells us about some of his adventures in Thailand, why Westside Muay Thai has such a reputation for clinch fighters and - IS BEN LOOKING AT COMING BACK FOR ANOTHER TILT?! - you'll have to listen to the podcast I guess!!! of course I hit Ben with a top 3 question and he cheated with his 1 shout out allowed! haha. ANOTHER example of "knowing" someone for a longtime, but really connecting through the podcast and finding out more about the people driving the Canadian Muay Thai scene forward for all of us. MAN, I am grateful for this lil hobby of mine - SHOUT OUT TO YOU BEN!
