  • Perfect for the Diehard or new fan!

    I’ve been following combat sport for two decades+ and consider myself pretty knowledgeable but I still get my mind blown and learn new things each episode. Mike and Joey are great host and really dig deep with the guest. This is a must listen for any diehard fan of combat sports and good for newer fans to learn the REAL history of the sport!
