In this episode of What Hones You, the conversation shifts from fight night to foundation—back to the moments that shape everything that comes after.
ONX Founder and Coach Trevor Wittman sits down with host Luke Caudillo to unpack the origins of ONX: why it was built, what was missing from the sport, and the standards that demanded something better.
This isn’t a product story.
It’s a principle story.
They talk about protection as performance.
Longevity as a competitive edge.
And why real progress in MMA doesn’t come from shortcuts—but from respecting the craft enough to build it right.
They break down the unseen work:
Identifying risk before injury.
Designing for movement, not aesthetics.
Building systems that support fighters—not just for one camp, but for a career.
This episode isn’t about gear.
It’s about responsibility.
The responsibility to athletes.
To the sport.
To the next generation who will inherit what you build.
Because what hones a fighter isn’t just how they train.
It’s what they train with.
And the standards that refuse to bend—long after the spotlight fades.
No flash.
No compromise.
Just discipline, intention, and gear and work that holds up under pressure.
