In this week's episode of Chokeholds & Chill we sat down with Patrick “Durkin” Cummins for a conversation that somehow hits every chapter of his life in one go. We start off joking around (fast forward a touch if you don't like dirty jokes), but quickly dig into the real story — from walking on to wrestle at Penn State, being a member of the National team, navigating legal trouble, getting thrown straight into the UFC spotlight, and all of the highs & lows that came along with all of it.

Patrick opens up about what happens when the fighting chapter ends: exploring his creative side, figuring out who he was outside of the cage, finding purpose in coaching, and the gym he’s building now — a safe, intentional space where community really matters.

We wrap up with some fun rapid fire questions, but the whole episode is honest, grounded, funny, and full of the kind of perspective only someone who’s lived a few different lives can offer.

Tap in — this one’s got layers and a lot of laughs.
