John Donehue started his journey with Bill Wallace and became one of Gene LeBell’s original 4 Black Belts.

Having trained with Randy Couture
Rico Chiaperelli & Benny Urquidez; John Donehue does not hold back his thoughts on the other early Australian MMA instructors or those that he feel may have taken advantage of Gene LeBell’s kindness.

John has NOT given an interview in over a decade and his opinions along with an unapologetic approach makes this one of the most raw interviews that we have ever recorded.
