Episode 36 | Brandon Frunk – Fighting, Recovery, and Knowing When to Walk Away

In this episode of Fourth Street Live, we sit down with professional fighter Brandon Frunk to talk about the brutal realities of fighting, the mental toll of competition, and the crossroads where passion, family, and survival collide.

Brandon opens up about his fight career, training at elite gyms like Alliance, and what it really takes to survive in the fight game. He shares his amateur record of 12–2, along with 19–6 in sanctioned and unsanctioned bouts, and how chasing the dream eventually led him to a hard truth—talent alone isn’t enough, and the cost can be everything.

The conversation turns raw as Brandon talks about alcohol entering his life after stepping away from fighting, the identity loss many fighters face, and the long road back through recovery. This episode is an honest look at discipline, ego, fatherhood, addiction, and the courage it takes to change direction before it’s too late.

This is a story about fighting in the cage—and fighting for your life outside of it.
