Most ring announcers spend decades waiting for their moment. Kody 'Big Mo' Mommaerts didn't wait for anything.

Tyler and Jake sit down with Kody "Big Mo" Bigmo, one of combat sports' fastest-rising ring announcers, to unpack how a college football player from Colorado built a global career in the middle of the ring. They dig into how he speed-ran an industry where most announcers don't reach the top until decades in, what it took to land the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight on Netflix, and why treating a "cool job" with the discipline of a craft is what separates the Big Mo's of the world from everyone else.
