This episode of "After The Final Bell", hosted by UFC striking coach Mike Gonzales and YouTube bounty hunter Trevor O'Connor, features guest Jason "The Dragon" Lee, a veteran regional MMA and kickboxing fighter from Colorado. The discussion centered on the physical and mental aftermath of a high-adrenaline fight career, covering topics from brutal historical training methods—like the "car accident four days a week" sparring and "gym wars" with contemporaries like Shane Carwin—to the challenge of cutting weight, which ultimately led to Jason's preferred and successful transition to kickboxing at his natural walking weight. Jason recounted his journey fighting the "who's who" of the region, including a fight where Jeremy Kimble broke his leg, and spoke about the necessary philosophical shift from training to be the biggest to training for maximum life-long effectiveness and preparedness.

A central point of the conversation was the shared health issues faced by the older athletes, specifically the need for testosterone supplementation to combat low levels caused by years of high-level athletic stress, which significantly improved their energy and mental well-being. Most profoundly, Jason shared the long-term impact of fighting trauma on his vision, describing how nerve damage has caused a form of blindness that prevents him from seeing his daughter’s face clearly, yet he maintains hope for future medical solutions. Both Jason and Trevor O'Connor also discussed their struggles with tinnitus and low-end hearing loss, with Trevor noting that wearing modern hearing aids has been instrumental in helping to reconnect his brain's neural pathways.

In episode 86 of After The Final Bell, UFC striking coach Mike Gonzalez and YouTube bounty hunter Trevor Okconor dive into life after the fight — where adrenaline fades, and real life begins. The guys kick things off with a hilarious rant about UFC Perth, bad judging, and why some referees seem straight out of “clown college.” From there, the conversation spirals into cooking disasters, July turkey dinners, and the great debate over whose signature dish actually exists. Between laughs, they question how banks could ever hand someone $500 million in cash, imagine how many Brinks trucks that would take, and joke about the logistics of storing money in a football field-sized vault. They also get real about rising rent prices, family life, and the small joys that matter most once the gloves come off. Packed with humor, insight, and authentic conversation, this episode captures exactly what makes After The Final Bell such a fan favorite — real stories, real laughs, and a no-filter look at life beyond the octagon.

This episode of “After The Final Bell,” hosted by UFC striking coach Mike Gonzales and YouTube bounty hunter Trevor O'Connor, introduces the podcast as a look into life after an adrenaline-fueled career has ended. Much of the conversation revolves around Trevor O'Connor’s experiences with the video game Rust, which he is playing with his friends, Matthew and Will. Trevor describes the game as a more adult, survival-based version of Minecraft and shares his frustration with “offline raiding” in public servers, which led him to create a private, invite-only server where players agree not to attack bases unless the owner is logged in. They also discuss the hosts' professional lives, including an update on Mike Gonzales’ fighter, Tatsudo, who is right on track with his recovery and scheduled to fight again in December. This leads to a commentary on the current state of the UFC, including the diminishing box office appeal of Conor McGregor and the notable lack of American champions across multiple weight classes. Wrapping up the episode, the hosts touch on the 27th anniversary of Google, early tech adoption, and the missed opportunity of early Bitcoin investment, before Trevor O'Connor shares a detailed, unexecuted business concept for a tattoo parlor with a large, entertaining waiting area (complete with a PlayStation and foosball table) designed to keep the customers’ waiting friends happy.
