  • Ruined

    They often ruin the show by delving into fighters’ personal lives and political leanings to shape an opinion of the fighters’ skills, and honestly, they are just overbearing with their moral grandstanding, and it’s a chore to listen to them now. Used to thoroughly enjoy the show.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

535 - Ultimate F#@king Cringe
Q: What are the potential outcomes for Tai Tu Vasa versus Jairzinho Rosenstruck?
Rosenstruik is expected to dominate, utilizing his jab effectively against Tui Vasa’s lack of defensive skills and advanced striking technique.
535 - Ultimate F#@king Cringe
Q: What do you make of Steve Ersegg versus Kai Kara-France?
Steve Ersegg is a very good fighter and should match up well against Kai Kara-France, who struggles with counterpunching and is smaller than him.
539 - Happy Mexico Day, or whatever
Q: What do you think of Brian Ortega versus Diego Lopez?
I'm going to pick Ortega in this because I do not think Lopez is top 10 material.
