In this episode of Beyond the Mats, I chat with Sam Gaier from Eau Claire, Wisconsin — a brown belt from Ronin with a killer 52-7 BJJ record and a 5-1 amateur MMA run. Sam’s known for his relentless work ethic and a mindset that pushes him to constantly improve both on and off the mats. We talk about what life was like before martial arts, his love for jiujitsu, and what’s next for his career. If you’re into grappling or fighting, you don’t want to miss this one!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
