  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fighter vs. Writer: Matt Brown Reacts to UFC White House Card, Francis Ngannou Fighting for MVP and Charles Oliveira Mauling Max Holloway
Q: What was your initial reaction to the White House card and how it was marketed?
I felt the card was overpromised by the promotion, with too many mismatches and name-driven bets that didn't necessarily translate into compelling or competitive fights, even though the spectacle on the White House lawn would attract attention.
BTL | Sean Strickland Title Shot Next? Dana White vs. Eddie Hearn, UFC Mexico
Q: Did Sean Strickland's mouth cost him a title shot?
There are mixed opinions; some believe it might have helped him get one, while others think it could cost him.
Fighter vs. Writer: Matt Brown Fixes the UFC Heavyweight Division, Argues for Kamaru Usman Over Ian Machado Garry for Next Title Shot
Q: How do you feel about Ian Machado Garry getting a title shot against Islam Makhachev if that's the way it goes?
I wouldn't be mad at Ian Garry getting it, but I think that's probably Islam's easiest fight in the division.
UFC Vegas 113 & BKFC KnuckleMania 6 Post-Fight Show | Reaction To Mario Bautista, Andrei Arlovski's Main Event Finishes

The most memorable aspect is Mario Bautista's unequivocal awesome performance, showcasing his skill in the ring after a series of ups and downs.
BTL | Gaethje Batters Pimblett, UFC 324 Fallout, Volkanovski vs. Lopes 2
Q: What is the situation with Patchy Mix after his release from the UFC?
