  • I want to support the show but. . .

    Lost interest. Jed is not good enough at his job to pull off the schtick that he’s going for. It gets old fast. Mike is vanilla and not the brightest. I’m not the audience for this. Casey is missed.

  • Solid

    If Jed and Mike started a podcast I would unsubscribe from this one and listen to every show of theirs. Unfortunately AK Lee and Casey Lidon are often on the shows and they’re pretty insufferable, they constantly make things political and are just overall an annoyance on an otherwise reliable podcast.

BTL | Sean Strickland is Champ Again! Plus, UFC 328 Fallout, Rousey vs. Carano
Q: Jed, how do you balance the Chandler hate versus the humor of seeing him win it?
It's fun to hate a villain when he's winning, but the real excitement comes from how someone can turn that heat into momentum and narrative that carries into future fights and storylines.
Nate Diaz Responds to Dustin Poirier, Talks Conor McGregor Trilogy and Why He Has No Beef with Mike Perry
Q: What drew you to fight Mike Perry outside the UFC?
Diaz says it's about pursuing the most challenging and meaningful opponents, not just chasing money or fame, and he wants to fight the best available competition regardless of promotion.
On To The Next One: Matches To Make After UFC Winnipeg
Q: Where are you in the GTA right now?

Fighter vs. Writer: UFC 325 Reactions, Matt Brown Explains Why Paddy Pimblett Should Fight Benoit Saint Denis Next
Q: What makes Volk the greatest featherweight of all time in your eyes?
His eight title defenses across two reigns, wins over Aldo and Holloway, and the ability to compete at a high level across multiple eras and opponents make a compelling case for Volk as the GOAT in featherweight.
Fighter vs. Writer: UFC 325 Reactions, Matt Brown Explains Why Paddy Pimblett Should Fight Benoit Saint Denis Next
Q: Matt, between Mosar and Lerone Murphy, who do you think has the best chance to dethrone Volkanovski?
Volkanovski beats both in my view, but Mosar offers a different challenge stylistically, and Murphy could test the counterpunching pace; overall, Volk remains the favorite given his consistency and pace.
