Ulysses “Uly Monster” Diaz, professional fighter, bare-knuckle boxer, father, husband, and one of the fastest knockout artists in combat sports history, joins The Determined Society for a powerful conversation on street life, prison, faith, fatherhood, fighting, redemption, and the discipline it takes to change your life.
In this episode, Shawn French and Uli discuss his childhood in Miami, learning to fight at a young age, spending time in prison, touring with Pitbull, and the moment at 35 when he knew he had to leave his old life behind. Uli shares how boxing gave him accountability, how consistency helped him rebuild, and how faith, family, and fatherhood now guide the man he has become.
The conversation also explores his son’s battle with osteosarcoma, the pain of letting go of people who could not grow with him, and why every choice carries consequences. This episode is about redemption, discipline, family, faith, and becoming proof that it is never too late to switch paths.
