Fitz & a Fighter is a conversation-driven podcast hosted by UFC broadcaster Brendan Fitzgerald, featuring in-depth interviews with UFC fighters, coaches, athletes, entertainers, and personalities from across the sports world and beyond.
Each episode goes beyond fight week headlines to explore the stories behind the people. From career-defining moments and life lessons to training, family, mindset, and plenty of laughs along the way, Fitz & a Fighter gives listeners an authentic look at the guests they know—and introduces them to a side they may have never seen before.
Whether it's a champion reflecting on their journey, a rising contender chasing greatness, or a guest with a unique perspective outside the Octagon, every conversation is relaxed, honest, and entertaining.
New episodes feature compelling stories, behind-the-scenes insights, and conversations that remind us there's always more to the person than the fighter.
