  • Luke Thomas is on point

    Great, sober, informed takes on MMA, combat sports and much more in the broader political landscape. A must listen!

  • Less politics

    I vote for the show to focus more on combat sports and less on politics. If people want LT’s political thoughts he has a separate channel for that. I enjoy combat sports content to escape from often depressing world events that I otherwise consume when reading the news. Just my 2 cents.

  • Strange show

    It’s supposed to be about MMA but Luke spends nearly the entire show just making fun of Jewish people/being anti-Semetic.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Live Chat: Should Heavyweight Be Abolished?
Q: If you have a little girl like I do, significant other, anybody, anybody who needs a little bit of a hug in your life that you can feel like you can give that to, go do it.
Luke encourages listeners to remember loved ones who might need a hug during Valentine's Day.
Live Chat: The Fights Have Returned
Q: What do you think about the UFC making an exception for this one card and having Conor or John fight or headline over other title fights?
Yes, I think you're probably right. I think they will break the rules if they have to.
Live Chat: The Fights Have Returned
Q: Are you surprised ESPN is still covering the UFC as much as they are?
Yes, I would confess to being a little surprised. I thought it would be a little bit less than what it is, but actually not necessarily.
Live Chat: Is 'TKO Matchmaking' Even a Real Thing?
Q: Do you think Dana White's current involvement in the UFC is good or bad for the sport?
Dana White is quite popular and brings attention, but it may benefit from a new and hungry face to revitalize excitement in the sport.
Live Chat: Fighters Quit All The Time. Stop Scandalizing It.
Q: Do you think referees are finally listening to fan criticisms?
Yes, it seems referees are trying to be more strict due to recent criticisms, but it's not uniformly applied.
