Mo Oropeza had a stable path ahead—a degree in accounting, a young family, and every reason to play it safe. But instead, he chose to fight—literally.

In this episode of David’s Saturday Night Sit Back, Mo opens up about becoming a father at 17, navigating broken family dynamics, and why he walked away from corporate life to chase his passion for MMA. From canceled fights to discipline on days when motivation runs dry, this is a raw, inspiring look at what it takes to rebuild and rise.

Whether you're a fighter, father, or just someone navigating life’s curveballs—this one’s for you.
