“Do They Even Care About Human Life?” – The Guys & Chris Liguori Let Loose | Episode #273

On this episode of @ChampandtheTramp, MMA vet Chris Liguori joins the guys for a no-filter conversation about how the fight game—and the world—has changed. Chris looks back on the early days of MMA, the evolution of gym culture, and what separates real fighters from the social media crowd. The guys dive into loyalty, toughness, and why the old-school grind still matters. Later, Producer Andrew jumps in with sharp takes on Trump, Israel, boomers, and why younger generations feel like they’re getting left behind.
