    Send us a text

    Ep 287 Apy Echteld M1 Global & Fedor

    Apy Echteld comes from the rich history of the famous Dutch promotion 2 Hot 2 Handle as well as managing Fedor Emelianenko

    Echteld walks us through an incredibly difficult year for M1 (2010) while also balancing the management aspects of Fedor.

    The questions in this interview are not easy to answer and the stress that Echteld dealt with comes though in his answers.

    This is a peak behind the scenes that we never expected the ability to record
