MMA-vechter NOACH BLYDEN: Mijn beste vriend vermoorde mijn neef

Noach recounts how, as a Dutch MMA fighter, he ended up in an international film production with Martin Lawrence in Saudi Arabia, where he worked as a stunt performer, bodyguard, and even a precision driver in spectacular action scenes. He also discusses his transition from kickboxing to MMA, his ambition to reach the UFC, and why he consciously chooses to aim for the highest possible level in combat sports. But this conversation goes beyond sports alone. Noach shares candidly about the loss of his nephew, who was shot and killed at a young age by someone from his own circle of friends. He explains how this traumatic event has influenced his life, how he deals with pain and unanswered questions, and why he now lives from his core. Additionally, Noach looks back on his participation in TV shows such as Get The F*ck Out Of My House, where he won nearly €50,000, and explains how success sometimes brings unexpected pressure. From becoming a young father at 18 to entrepreneurship, mental health, discipline, and his new supplement brand: this is a story about resilience, self-control, and continuing to build on your dreams. 00:00 Intro 02:26 How Martin Lawrence's Film Role Came About 05:02 Injury Before Departure 06:17 On Set with Martin Lawrence 07:17 Seven Dogs and the Saudi Film Industry 08:22 Stunts and Precision Driving 10:34 Starting in Martial Arts 12:26 Dealing with Challenges 13:46 Young Father and Stability 18:15 Shift to Full Commitment for MMA 20:24 UFC Ambition and Strategy 23:07 Living from Your Core 26:25 Trauma and Loss 27:17 Escalation and Loss 28:19 No Contact with Perpetrator 28:59 Loyalty Conflict and Grief 30:35 Turning Sadness into Growth 31:29 Guilt and Acceptance 33:20 TV Profit and Format 35:21 Money and Fake Friends 36:52 More TV and 100k miss 38:26 Dream shows and jokes 39:31 Mind Us and Maxima meeting 40:28 Why MMA over Glory 42:23 Glory generation and Donovan Wisse 44:59 Rico vs. Usyk analysis 50:25 Next steps and farewell Are you also dedicated to the things you do?
