Ram At The Fights Joshua YETI Bredl interview on PFL Chicago

The Ram At The Fights Joshua YETI Bredl interview brought the combat sports interviewer together with host Joshua "YETI" Bredl to discuss his plan to cover PFL Chicago, his goal of growing a YouTube channel and the effect Brazilian jiu-jitsu has had on his life. Ram also explained why he looks for a fighter’s personality rather than relying on a fixed list of questions.

How did Ram At The Fights get started in sports media?

Ram At The Fights began working in sports media in Puerto Rico, writing, taking pictures and conducting audio interviews for a sports website without appearing on camera. After moving to Wisconsin about nine years ago, he eventually decided to try hosting interviews himself, despite worrying about how people would respond.

His early work gave him experience gathering stories, but he was reluctant to become the person asking questions in front of an audience. He said he thought about what others might say and feared negative comments. A couple of years ago, he decided to put himself on camera.

Ram described himself as a simple person, even as Bredl pointed out that he now regularly welcomes guests to his own show. Being interviewed instead of conducting the conversation put him on the other side of a format he has come to know well.

What did Ram At The Fights say about interviewing fighters?

Ram At The Fights said a guest’s personality is what makes an interview exciting for him. Although his channel largely features fighters, he does not want every conversation to follow the same sequence of questions about an upcoming bout, a previous fight or other names in a division.

Letting the conversation flow

He said he does not prepare a rigid set of questions. Instead, he tries to make the exchange feel natural and give guests room to show who they are. Boxers and MMA fighters may discuss similar competitive subjects, but their personalities make the conversations different.

Ram put the purpose of that approach plainly:

I'd like to bring that personality out

He wants viewers to connect with a fighter as a person, not just hear that the fighter intends to compete. He also acknowledged that he remains insecure about his work and questions how he did after finishing an interview. That uncertainty has not stopped him from continuing to host them.

What are Ram At The Fights’ YouTube channel goals?

Ram At The Fights said growing his YouTube channel is his main goal. He hosts interviews through MILLIONS and also contacts fighters independently for his own conversations. His interests span MMA and boxing, including fighters he remembers watching during the HBO Boxing and Showtime Boxing era.

Interviews with familiar boxing names

He named Iván Robinson, Jesse James Leah and Bronco McCart among the boxers he had interviewed. Talking with people from the boxing era he grew up watching is one of the goals he said he has already begun to fulfill.

Golden Boy Promotions media day in Chicago

His work also takes him outside one-on-one interviews. Ram said he had covered a Golden Boy Promotions media day in Chicago and posted videos from it on Instagram. He described event coverage as another part of the media work he wants to keep doing, alongside conversations with MMA fighters and boxers.

The channel remains his priority across those formats. Rather than limiting it to interviews arranged through one platform, he reaches out to guests himself and produces coverage when he attends fight events.

What sponsorships does Ram At The Fights want?

Ram At The Fights said an energy drink sponsorship would be a dream partnership, and he would also welcome a coffee sponsor. He mentioned independent clothing brands as another fit and said he wears hats often, though finding ones that fit comfortably can be difficult for him.

His interest in energy drinks is personal rather than a proposed change of subject for his channel. He said he currently drinks Celsius and remembered a Puerto Rican drink called Cyclone that he enjoyed when he lived on the island.

Ram also spoke about supporting independent clothing brands. His answer focused on products he already likes to wear or drink, rather than claiming that he had secured any of the partnerships he discussed.

How has Brazilian jiu-jitsu affected Ram At The Fights?

Ram At The Fights said Brazilian jiu-jitsu has made him more tolerant and shaped how he responds to people outside the gym. He started in his mid-30s, estimated that he had trained for about seven years and said he is now a purple belt. He still values the sport’s constant learning.

Training with his son

Ram trains both gi and no-gi, but his family schedule has led him to do more gi classes. His 14-year-old son joined jiu-jitsu, and their available early class is a gi class. Ram said his son now trains with the adults and has become his training partner.

He did not present training as easy: he said he is often sore afterward. What keeps him interested is that there is always more to learn. He intends to continue for as long as his body allows.

For Ram, the effect extends beyond technique or fitness. He credited jiu-jitsu with humbling him and helping him understand and tolerate other people. He also encouraged people who think they started too late to give it a try.

What did Ram At The Fights plan for PFL Chicago?

Ram At The Fights said he planned to attend PFL Chicago, produce content from the event and interview fighters on its card. The planned coverage fits his broader mix of fight-card media work and conversations with MMA athletes; he did not present those interviews as already completed.

For viewers who want to follow that work, he directed them first to his Ram At The Fights YouTube channel. He also said he uses Instagram, TikTok and MILLIONS, with his TikTok featuring much of the material he posts on Instagram.

Those accounts give him places to share both interviews and material gathered at events. His stated aim remains to build the YouTube channel while continuing to meet fighters and cover boxing and MMA cards.
