Punto de Quiebre
Fajador Media continues expanding its combat sports coverage across Latin America with a new podcast focused on one of the region’s growing markets: Colombia. Hosted by John Roa, Fajador contributor and combat sports promoter based in Colombia, Punto de Quiebre will bring together fighters, coaches, promoters, officials and other voices from the combat sports community to explore what is happening beyond the fights themselves.
Going Beyond the Fight
Colombia’s combat sports scene continues to develop, with new athletes, promotions and opportunities emerging across MMA, boxing, grappling and other disciplines. But the fight itself is only one part of the story. Punto de Quiebre was created to explore everything happening around it: the sacrifices behind a fighter’s career, the challenges of competing internationally, the development of local events, the business behind combat sports and the people working to move the industry forward.
The concept is simple: The fight is only the surface. Through conversations with people directly involved in the sport, Punto de Quiebre aims to give Fajador’s audience a closer look at the moments, decisions and challenges that can change a career — or an entire combat sports scene.
Punto de Quiebre
The new show joins Fajador Media’s growing podcast and video lineup as the platform continues strengthening its connection between the U.S. combat sports industry and Latin American communities. The name Punto de Quiebre represents those moments when pressure creates change.
For a fighter, that point can be a victory, a defeat, an international opportunity or a decision that changes the direction of a career. For a developing combat sports market like Colombia, the same idea applies. The show will explore where the sport stands today — and what needs to happen for the next breakthrough.
Episode 1: The State of MMA in Colombia
The first episode of Punto de Quiebre features Colombian mixed martial artist Juan “El Patrón” Trujillo. Rather than focusing exclusively on Trujillo’s career, the conversation uses his experience competing both in Colombia and internationally to examine a broader question:
Where does Colombian MMA stand today?
The episode explores the development of amateur and professional MMA in the country, opportunities for Colombian fighters, the financial realities of pursuing the sport, competing internationally and what the ecosystem still needs to continue growing. Trujillo also shares his perspective after experiencing the Colombian circuit and taking his career to international competition.
A New Window Into Colombian Combat Sports
Punto de Quiebre will continue featuring different perspectives from across the industry. Fighters will be an important part of those conversations, but the show will also create space for coaches, promoters, judges, managers, journalists and other people helping build combat sports throughout Colombia and Latin America. The objective is not simply to talk about what happens inside the cage or ring. It is to understand everything that makes those moments possible.
