Alex Cunningham, known as the @Rastareverend on IG and PSN joins me fresh off the mats on the Iron Direct Primary Care Podcast. Still buzzing from training, he jumps straight into the cold plunge while we talk about his unexpected journey from professional esports gamer and UFC superfan to rising MMA fighter with a purple belt in BJJ and a growing local following in Florida. We get deep into what real fight camp looks like — the training, the mental warfare, the recovery tools (cold plunge, red light, and everything else that’s keeping his body together), and how iron direct primary care gives combat athletes an edge that traditional medicine never could. With his next fight just weeks away on May 30th at Rise of a Warrior in Fort Pierce, Alex breaks down his preparation, what fans can expect in the cage, his viral fight prediction game, and the reality of being a sponsored local fighter trying to climb the ranks. This is raw, unfiltered conversation about the fighter lifestyle — the highs, the grind, the comebacks, and the mindset it takes to step in there. Whether you’re a die-hard MMA fan, an aspiring fighter, or just someone interested in human performance and recovery, this one delivers. Topics include: From PlayStation pro to stepping in the cage Lessons from wins, losses, and title fights Recovery, optimization, and staying healthy in a brutal sport The upcoming May 30th fight at the Havert L.
