Jonathan Brookins Talks Trading The UFC For A Surfboard In Costa Rica | Episode #315
Episode 315
Friday, 24 April, 2026

On this episode of @champandthetramp, the guys talk with TUF Season 12 winner Jonathan Brookins about walking away from the UFC to live out of a backpack across India, Montreal, and now Costa Rica. He opens up about losing his siblings, finding faith, and the price of chasing passion over paychecks. From beating Michael Johnson to getting pulled from a Masvidal-era bare knuckle card at the last minute, Jonathan's story hits different. The guys also break down the sorry state of rival promotions and why MVP might not last.Chapters:0:00 Disclaimer0:13 Carnivor1:18 Ultimate Fighter Winner Jonathan Brookins Joins The Show2:15 Living Around The World After Retirement6:43 Getting Into MMA Through Crazy Horse Charles Bennett9:11 Wanderlei vs Crazy Horse Backstage Chaos9:38 Losing His Brothers And Sister14:37 Training With GSP On The Ultimate Fighter15:01 Would You Tell A Young Fighter To Go Pro18:14 Running A School And Staying A Fan Of The Sport19:16 MVP Promotion Just Like Affliction Back In The Day20:10 Global Fight League Getting Paid To Do Nothing20:30 Coming Out Of Retirement And Cutting 30 Pounds23:35 Masvidal Pulled The Plug Last Minute On His Bare Knuckle Fight25:26 Learning To Surf In Costa Rica With No Experience29:00 Getting Spiritual With Age And Raising Kids33:00 How The Podcast Actually Started37:53 No Regrets And The Butterfly Effect40:50 Why Kids Need The Lows To Feel The Highs43:18 Roger Says He's Gonna Learn To SurfFollow us on social media:Instagram: https://instagram.com/champandthetrampTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@champandthetrampFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/champandthetrampDon't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more unfiltered conversations about combat sports, politics, and everything in between!
