  • 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.

On To The Next One: Matches To Make After UFC Winnipeg
Q: Where are you in the GTA right now?
I'm in Mississauga, just outside Toronto, at the family home, and I'll be heading back to Niagara tomorrow.
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.
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.
