The Next Generation: Isaac Romero & Santino Josenonaca | From MMA to the Muay Thai Ring

On this episode, we’re joined by two hungry up-and-comers from the OC fight scene, Isaac Romero and Santino Josenonaca. These boys are currently grinding at Fight Strong San Clemente, sharpening their skills under the watchful eye of a true pioneer of the lighter divisions, UFC veteran Ian "Uncle Creepy" McCall.With their WCK Muay Thai debuts fast approaching on April 25th, Isaac and Santino pull back the curtain on what it’s really like to prepare for battle. We dive deep into the daily discipline required to compete at a high level and the unique advantage of having a coach like Ian—someone who has reached the pinnacle of the sport in the UFC’s flyweight and bantamweight divisions—guiding their path.But it’s not all highlight reels and hand-raises. We get into the raw reality of being a young fighter in 2026. From the financial struggles and the grueling commute to the gym life, to the mental pressure of living up to the expectations of a legendary coach, these two show us the grit behind the glamour.Whether you're a hardcore combat sports fan or just love a story about the hustle, this episode is a masterclass in dedication.
