Everyday Martial Artist

Show Notes

Trap Gambino has experienced the world of combat sports from just about every angle, from training and competing in MMA and grappling to cornering fighters, working in combat sports media, and appearing on MMA-related reality programming. Along the way, he has gained valuable experience working alongside some of the industry’s most experienced figures.

Today, he has brought those experiences together in a different role as the founder and CEO of Made Fight League, a Las Vegas-based promotion. As a promoter, his responsibilities extend far beyond the fights themselves, encompassing everything from fighter relationships and event production to promotion, safety, and the countless details that go into putting on a successful live event.

His journey offers a unique perspective on the many paths a life in martial arts can take, and what it means to move from competing inside the cage to creating opportunities for the next generation of fighters.

Please welcome my guest today, Trap Gambino!
