What Darius hosts

About Darius

Darius Cole was a college wrestler who started training striking in his junior year. After two years of amateur fights he turned professional in mixed martial arts, fighting on regional cards before earning bouts on a major promotion as a welterweight.

During camp his days are tightly scheduled: morning strength and conditioning, technique with his coaches, sparring, film study and a recovery routine that takes almost as much time as training. Meals are planned around his weight cut. Outside of camp he coaches youth wrestling a few evenings a week.

Darius hosts because he thinks people should understand what a fighting career really costs and pays. He talks openly about purses, sponsors, injuries and the planning that goes into staying healthy enough to keep competing.
