It's been a significant few months for Brisbane-based fighter Casey O'Neill, becoming the first female title-holder at Eternal MMA in April after winning the Strawweight belt against Amira Hafizovic. She sits down with Gen to break down the fight, also delving into her relationship with her coaches at Southside MMA and Matrix Boxing, overcoming early losses and the effect eating right has had on her career.

This week, #TheEternalFight turns up the heat with Samoa-born, NZ-based wrestler Candy Lee. She comes on the pod with Gen to dive into her very first year at Impact Pro Wrestling, the women paving her path like Candice Michelle and Kelly Kelly, and the ongoing struggles with perceptions of her identity as a transgender wrestler. Big shoutout to Candy's good mate and fellow wrestler Jey Dewhurst, DemonChild (Twitter), and Jemima Barr for your thoughts and questions!

Riot City Wrestling's Savannah Summers of Adelaide is one of the hardest working women in the local scene, having spent 14 years in the industry and travelling both the world and the entire country to wrestle. In #TheEternalFight's third episode, she takes a minute (or thirty) with Gen to talk training Aussie WWE superstars Toni Storm and Rhea Ripley, her ongoing feud with Miki Fortune at Riot City, and breaking through the lack of initial support she had from family and friends. Huge thanks to Ryan Oostendorp (FNX Network), Derrick Churn and Joe Santiago for your questions and messages!

#TheEternalFight's second episode gets not only a bit fun but 'Rowdy', with UFC's Nadia Kassem citing Ronda Rousey as the inspiration for her to start training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Things get simultaneously emotional and banter-filled, as she sits down with Gen to crack open her last fight with US flyweight powerhouse Montana De La Rosa, the transition up to flyweight, her training gym Australian Top Team being in her corner, and her struggles with depression.

The podcast officially launches today with a special episode, featuring WWE's Senior Vice President and creative team member Bruce Prichard. From Friday 22 March, he's bringing his own podcast 'Something To Wrestle with Bruce Prichard' to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane for some nights of killer storytelling.
