    Funny story. A female politician just got killed and we honor her. The people that are fed up actually are not white men 25-70. No one should celebrate death. Thats sickening. But lets celwbrate and homor an actual servant of her community.

  • Best MMA Pod

    I’ve listened to all the top MMA podcasts, but this is by far the best out there. Bisping is always entertaining. A wealth of knowledge and anecdotes about the sport. Although the co-host chair has seen a lot of changes, Paul Felder is doing great. I hope he stays around for a long time. The hosts and producers have very good chemistry. The interviews are solid and the stories are entertaining without becoming rants (Helwani). Keep up the great work guys!

  • It still has its moments of greatness, but less of them.

    Two UFC commentators ad-lib UFC commercials. A weird stoner guy mumbles conspiracies while kinda producing a podcast, and whatever Harrington does.

671: Who Is The BMF!? Ft. Michael Venom Page

They discuss potential speed and power trade-offs, the need to adapt footwork and cardio for heavier opponents, and the importance of maintaining showmanship without compromising effectiveness in the cage.
671: Who Is The BMF!? Ft. Michael Venom Page
Q: What is the biggest challenge Michael Venom Page faces when returning to fight in London at the O2 Arena?
The panel suggests it's about delivering a big, crowd-pleasing performance while managing expectations as a hometown favorite, balancing entertainment with technical execution, and ensuring the card still feels stacked regardless of the main event.
670: Is Strickland America's Best Chance At Gold!? Ft. Uros Medic & Jacobe Smith
Q: What did Sean Strickland do in the post-fight that stood out to you?
He delivered a controversial but engaging post-fight speech that still reflected his persona, while also showing moments of sincerity by praising Fluffy as a father and fighter, which softened the crowd and sparked broader discussion.
667: UFC 325 Recap: Volkanovski Reigns Supreme
Q: The second one is I just started taking Muay Thai classes. I really enjoy the Muay Thai classes. I'm having a hard time getting into the Muay Thai classes because after a 10-12 hour day of work, you know, the last thing I want to do is go do physical activity. So how do you guys motivate yourself in a situation like that?
Book a fight. Even just book some smoker, pick a date. Muay Thai gyms do them all the time, even if it's like eight months from now. I'm going to give myself a really long time to prepare for it. But yeah, it'll get your ass in gear because when you're sitting on the couch, eating chips instead of being Muay Thai, and you know there's a motherfucker out there someday that you're going to be facing, it certainly makes you want to go and hit the gym.
