A straightforward Wikipedia account of Cole Escovedo reads as follows:

"Cole Escovedo (born August 30, 1981) is an American mixed martial artist from Fresno, California. He is a former (as well as first) Featherweight Champion in World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC).

After nearly three years since Cole Escovedo has competed in mixed martial arts action, the jiu-jitsu wizard and former WEC featherweight champion returned on May 8, 2009 at a Palace Fighting Championship event at the Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino in Lemoore, Calif. Escovedo was forced into a well documented semi-retiremment in 2007 from a serious staph infection that left him partially paralyzed and in need of spinal surgery. Escovedo's comeback to MMA was his first fight in the 135 lb Bantamweight division."

However, there's much more to this man than a simple Wikipedia entry can give. It's just not as simple as a single internet page would have you believe. You have to dig deeper. And for this deeper look at the man, a much better source is needed than something like Wikipedia. Indeed, if you want a deeper look at Cole Escovedo, you're going to have to put Bob Carson on the job.

Fortunately for you, that is exactly what we at Carson's Corner have done. The result is nothing short of magic. Listen to this interview and be transfixed and transformed.

And if that weren't enough, we have our old friend Dan Quinn back on the show! Dan is his usual exciting self, and you'll be endlessly entertained and inspired by what he has to say.
