From Prison to the Bellator Cage to a BKFC Comeback**

In this powerful episode of the *Don't Gotta Explain Myself Podcast*,

Rrok (@Iamrrok) sits down in depth with Kastriot Xhema, a professional fighter from Greenwich, CT, of Kosova-Albanian descent. Kastriot opens up about his troubled youth, time spent in prison, and how those experiences shaped his journey both inside and outside the cage.


We dive into his career in Bellator, the lowest points in his life, and the health-related battle that nearly took his life and kept him away from fighting for the past four years. Despite all the challenges, Kastriot is making his comeback to the ring and will be fighting at *BKFC 47* on *February 1st, 2025* at *Mohegan Sun Arena* in Connecticut!


This episode is a raw, inspiring look at resilience, redemption, and the journey of a fighter who's ready to reclaim his place in the sport.


Don’t miss this incredible story of overcoming adversity and rising again. Tune in now!
