In this episode of the DentalFit Podcast, we sit down with welterweight MMA athlete Sam Marles - fighting out of Absolute MMA in Melbourne and coming off a highlight-reel KO win at Eternal MMA 95.
Sam shares his journey from a multi-sport upbringing in Geelong to going all-in on combat sports in his early 20s, and what it’s taken to carve out a name in one of Australia’s most competitive weight classes. We dive into the evolution of his striking and grappling game, the mental shift that came with fully committing to the fight life, and the values he’s carried from the golf course and footy field into the cage.
With reflections on coaching, discipline, and learning to stay composed under fire, this episode offers a raw and grounded look at what it takes to build a career in modern MMA.
Whether you're into martial arts, mindset, or just love stories of late bloomers finding their lane - Sam’s story is one to watch.
