#64: Corin Braddick – Fighting in a Thailand Warehouse With Dan Hooker, Viral Fights & Mental Health

If you only listen to one episode of the podcast, let it be this one. Corin is the first repeat guest to ever feature on Beyond the Surface, from episode #9 – episode #64!

In this raw and honest, conversation, Corin Braddick takes us deep into the chaos of his recent trip to Thailand, where he was personally selected by UFC fighter Dan Hooker to compete in a viral underground fight show. Think 4-ounce gloves, one-minute rounds, no breaks, and a warehouse full of killers.

But this episode is about so much more than fighting. Corin opens up about his experience with family violence in his family, his battles with mental health, and the emotional weight young men are often forced to carry alone. He shares the tools that helped him survive, grow, and come back stronger.

We also talk about his recent performance in King in the Ring, what drives him, and why this journey is far from over.

If you’re into combat sports, real stories, or just raw human resilience – this one is for you. One of the most powerful and fun convos we’ve had on the show. Chur!
