EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, featuring Joe Rogan and Dave Leduc, JRE MMA Show #81 with Dave Leduc explores bare-Knuckle King: Dave Leduc Brings Brutal Lethwei To America Joe Rogan interviews Lethwei world champion Dave Leduc about his unlikely journey from Quebec baseball player and grappler to the global face of Myanmar’s ancient bare-knuckle fighting art. Leduc explains Lethwei’s extreme ruleset—headbutts, no gloves, suplexes, injury timeouts after KOs, and KO-only wins—and contrasts it with Muay Thai, MMA, and bare-knuckle boxing. They dig into his early hardships, prison fights in Thailand, dethroning Burmese legends in front of tens of millions of viewers, and becoming a national celebrity whose wedding was broadcast across Myanmar. The conversation also touches on training methods, neck and hand conditioning, career plans, psychedelics, obsession, lifestyle choices, and the future of Lethwei in the U.S. via UFC Fight Pass.
