  • Luke Ruins It

    Brian is great but Luke has become such a bitter and angry man that I have trouble finishing episodes. BC should get a new host.

  • Two guys arguing not about combat sports

    I enjoy the podcast for the most part but when Luke starts arguing I just shut it off.

    Love hearing Luke break down fighters. also very knowledgeable about life period. Brian just always has to cut him off and it ruins the show. Brian needs to shut up

  • Better Shows Are Out There

    I just am not a fan of these guys. They try too hard. If Luke Thomas really becomes a major reporting face of this sport, then it’s jumped the shark. You can hear the snark when he brings up Blue Sky. Not a fan of Brian’s boxing commentary either.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

UFC 322 Pregame Preview: Della Maddalena vs. Makhachev Presented By Cuervo® | Morning Kombat
Q: How close or is this the fight that Islam is a more accomplished fighter and has a better legacy than his great teammate, Habib?
Islam can never be that. He will always live in the shadow of Habib. But if you go up to 70, and I don't know if he'll flatten Della Maddalena, if he does, this is a level of accomplishment that Habib simply did not reach.
UFC 321 Pregame Preview: Aspinall vs. Gane Presented By Cuervo® | Morning Kombat
Q: How's your fighting history?
I think this matchup of Aspinall and Gane will set the landscape for the heavyweight division moving forward, especially with what's at stake this weekend.
UFC 321 Pregame Preview: Aspinall vs. Gane Presented By Cuervo® | Morning Kombat
Q: So if we were going to assess the card, where does this one land?
I'd like to see the UFC heavyweight title get defended. This looks like a good card. We've got two title fights, and we do have some intriguing matchups in the co-main event as well.
UFC 321 Pregame Preview: Aspinall vs. Gane Presented By Cuervo® | Morning Kombat
Q: What are your thoughts? You fired up. You're happy?
I think it's a good card, man. I really do. The main card has a little bit for everybody. We haven't seen Tom Aspinall for 15 months. I feel like we need that big reminder of who he is.
UFC Rio: Charles Oliveira Subs Gamrot, Wants Max Holloway | Alvarez vs Luque | Jaron Ennis KO Win
Q: What's your prediction for the upcoming UFC announcement?
It likely involves key matchups with substantial implications for title shots within the lightweight and welterweight divisions.
