Well, I stumbled upon this guy named John Rallo the other day, and let me tell you, it turned into a whole thing.
Heard Through the Grapevine
I first heard about him through some online chatter. Apparently, he’s a big deal in the MMA world, running a place called Ground Control. I saw some folks mentioning he was on Joe Rogan’s podcast, which piqued my interest. I mean, if you’re on Rogan’s show, you gotta have some stories, right?
Digging a Little Deeper
So, I started poking around a bit more. Found out the guy’s got some serious health issues. They say his cancer isn’t in remission. And to make matters worse, being locked up in that federal prison in Marion puts him at a higher risk for Covid-19. Rough stuff, man.
Legal Troubles
- Then I found some articles from a few years back, and boy, did things get messy.
- Turns out, Rallo got caught up in some legal drama.
- They were saying he was involved in defrauding investors out of more than a million bucks.
- Most of these investors were from around St. Louis, where he’s based.
Courtroom Shenanigans
There was this one court filing from 2020 where Rallo’s lawyer mentioned he was a co-conspirator with this Steve Stenger guy, who used to be the St. Louis County Executive. Seems like they were both mixed up in some shady business.
Radio Appearance
Amidst all this, I saw that he has a radio appearance lined up for something called Shogun Fights. I thought, “Well, might as well tune in and see what he’s all about.” I was curious to hear how his voice was holding up, given everything he’s been through.
Final Thoughts
This whole John Rallo situation is a wild ride. From MMA champ to facing cancer and getting tangled up in legal battles, it’s a lot to take in. I’ll keep an eye on how things unfold, especially with his upcoming radio gig. It’s like watching a real-life drama, you know? And, I have to admit, I really want to see what happens next.
