In Episode 427 of The Unrestricted Podcast, host Dre Rawka sits down with special guest Josiah Simpson — a husband, father of three, United States Marine Corps veteran, and professional Middleweight MMA fighter with his eyes locked on one goal: making it to the UFC.

Josiah opens up about what it’s really like balancing the grind of being a family man while chasing greatness in combat sports. We talk about the mindset it takes to keep pushing, the discipline he gained through military service, and the work he’s putting in to level up as a fighter.

We also get into his life outside the cage — including his love for hunting, his passion for building knives, and what keeps him grounded while chasing the biggest opportunity of his life.

🔥 Topics include:

Being a husband and father while training as a pro fighter

Serving in the United States Marine Corps and how it shaped him

The mental grind of fighting and staying disciplined

Hunting, knife building, and life outside MMA

His UFC goals, future plans, and what’s next in his career

This episode is full of real talk, motivation, and the kind of mindset every fighter—and every man trying to build a better life—can relate to.
