EP #73 - Fighter - Alejandro Tellez (Aledagoat)

I had an awesome chat with Alejandro Tellez (Aledagoat) who is a fighter based out of Hamilton, NZ. This young man is a savage, to say the least. He recently returned from Thailand, where he competed in the intense N1 Oceania competition, featuring 1-minute boxing rounds with MMA gloves. He has also fought in notable New Zealand competitions, such as Art of War and King In The Ring. We discussed his fight career, his move from Colombia to New Zealand, his fight training, and his business, Empanadas Guerreras.
