    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

705: Volk's Final Boss? Ft. Mike Malott
Q: On the personal side, what's the craziest or funniest thing that has happened behind the desk, but the audience hasn't been privy to? Then on the MMA side, for the guys from this weekend's main event, next fights up, I've got Mike Malott versus JDM, JDM's former champ on the card, he needs that comeback match against up and coming. Then I've got Joaquin Buckley versus Daniel Rodriguez. I think both guys are eternally locked out of the top 10 at this point. Let me know what you think.
Bisping says Mike Malott versus Jack Della Maddalena would make sense as a step up for Malott, while also noting the winner of Belal Muhammad and Gabriel Bonfim as a possible matchup. He suggests Buckley could face Yaroslav Amosov, but Harrington notes Amosov already has a fight booked.
704: Strickland Gotta Fight Ft. Brendan Allen
Q: Is that just rumors or was that really something you were dealing with on fight week?
Allen confirms he had a staph infection that began as an ingrown hair and cyst. He went to the emergency room, where it was opened and treated with antibiotics.
704: Strickland Gotta Fight Ft. Brendan Allen
Q: Did you talk to Hunter? Did you talk to Dana? Do you care or is it time now that you really do start to get the more respect shown towards you and get somebody up around your ranking or above where I think you should be?
Allen says he spoke briefly with Hunter Campbell after the fight, who told him there was a plan for him. Allen trusts their relationship and hopes to fight again in the first quarter of the following year.
702: "Pereira and his BBL can go to hell" Ft. Josh Hokit, Brandon Moreno & Raul Rosas Jr
Q: We asked about the Figueredo vs. Talbot fight; who do you think wins and why?
Brandon Moreno believes Peyton Talbot can win but notes the need for the right game plan; his prediction leans on Talbot's youth and talent despite Figueredo's experience.
703: Record Breaking Night!
Q: Among all the nine first-round finishes, is there a fight you wish you would have seen more of because of the match?
They express that it would have been great to see Rafael dos Anjos fight longer, while appreciating the excitement of decisive early finishes overall.
