Mark Kerr: The Smashing Machine's Battle with Addiction & Recovery

Mark Kerr: The Smashing Machine's Battle with Addiction & Recovery

Behind every champion is a battle the world doesn't always see. This week on Primary Purpose with Pej, Pej sits down with MMA legend Mark Kerr, a two-time UFC Heavyweight Tournament Champion, PRIDE Grand Prix Champion, and one of the pioneers of modern mixed martial arts. Known around the world as "The Smashing Machine," Mark reached the pinnacle of the sport, but behind the victories was a devastating struggle with opioid addiction that nearly cost him everything. In this powerful conversation, Mark opens up about the pressure of being at the top, the injuries that led to addiction, the reality behind the HBO documentary The Smashing Machine, and the long road to recovery. He also shares his perspective on fatherhood, healing, second chances, and what it truly means to keep fighting long after the spotlight fades. Whether you're a fan of MMA, navigating recovery, or looking for a story of resilience and redemption, this episode is a powerful reminder that even the strongest people sometimes need help—and that it's never too late to reclaim your life. #Recovery #AddictionRecovery #MentalHealth #Resilience #Hope #Sobriety #Healing #Motivation #PersonalGrowth #SecondChances Learn more about your ad choices.
