This was Max Hunter’s first-ever real mat fight, and it was an eye-opening experience.

No shortcuts. No posing. Just 10 minutes of pure endurance grappling in a confined mat space, where strength, conditioning, and mental toughness are exposed fast. Muscle vs muscle. Pressure vs pressure.

Watch how Max handles himself when the match turns into a true test of stamina — and see Santiago Sandoval when he stops playing the nice guy and starts getting real.

If you want to see what it looks like when performance replaces image and effort replaces talk, this match delivers.
