Calm, Relentless, and Impossible to Rush

At fourteen, Cassidy Roblero was a lost teenager running from home and looking for something to hold onto. She found it in a boxing gym, and within a year she was training MMA, Muay Thai, and jiu-jitsu. What started as an outlet for “pent-up steam” became a craft — and, she says, the thing that gave her a “new sense of calmness inside my soul.”

In this conversation with host Pete Deeley, Cassidy — who fights as La Cazadora, The Huntress, out of Coach Darian Cobon's Momentum Martial Arts — unpacks the mindset behind the fighter. She talks about competition as a controlled way to become “less hard to kill,” the tournament moment when she chose survival over quitting, the humbling first MMA fight that made her ask “can I get hit here?” on every roll, and the slow work of turning the inner critic's voice down so the confident one can win. It is a masterclass in resilience, honesty, and why patience — the hunter's greatest weapon — wins fights and changes lives. (Momentum's competition team is proudly backed by Submission Coffee.)
