Well, that was just disrespectful. Alex Pereira went out there at UFC 320 on Saturday with absolutely no regard whatsoever for Magomed Ankalaev. Bullied him. Dropped him. Pounded him out. Then did the “look at you now” hand gesture that is rapidly be... more

The PPV era is (maybe!) winding down, and on Saturday, we’ll all celebrate by (maybe!) shelling out our hard-earned dollars to watch UFC 320, where Magomed Ankalaev will defend his light heavyweight title in a rematch against Alex Pereira.

The money has finally started to roll in for fighters after the UFC agreed to settle that pesky class action lawsuit for $375 million back in February. Some are going to get millions. Some will only get a few thousand. Still, must feel pretty weird t... more

You know how, after they retire, some older guys go out and get, like, part-time jobs at the United Way or Ace Hardware or some shit? Not necessarily because they need the money — they just need to keep themselves busy, and maybe they like talking to... more

  • Go Woke, Go Broke

    Do you enjoy two white middle aged men in Montana using their white privilege to complain about...white privilege? Do you enjoy being condescended to by two white middle aged men unable to find gainful, meaningful, productive employment? Do you enjoy tuning into an MMA podcast to be lectured to about left wing talking points? Yea, neither do I. Which is why after all these years, I’ve tapped out. As have most other listeners. And advertisers. And MMA websites that will no longer employ these two... more

  • NO NO NO WHY

    Long time listener and subscriber but the time has come to unsubscribe.

    These two are unbelievable in there last podcast on November 13th. All there Trump talk and anti-republican remarks are laughable. Are they transitioning or something?

    Let’s get this right, they are from Montana (or at least live there) a red state since oh like 1952. I’ve been and it is one of the most gun friendly states there is, freedom truly feels free there. They sounded like hypocrites on so many topics earlier in t... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 641: Volkamania runs wild once again!
Q: What's next for Volkanovski?
Volkanovski may need to re-evaluate his opponents as he has already fought many top contenders and at 36 years old, he needs to consider the timing for his remaining fights.
Episode 635: Henry Cejudo gets the ol’ 3 Stooges (plus a ton of news!)
Q: What do you guys think of Jason Herzog's decision in the Cejudo song fight to start the third round and then immediately call the fight off?
That was a strange decision, especially since as they were talking about on the broadcast, three rounds had already concluded.
CME Patreon Live Chat for 1/29/25 [For Free!]
Q: What are your thoughts on fan free agency?
It happens more often in America where there's not necessarily a local team.
Episode 584: UFC 297 preview!
Q: How much of the UFC 297 main event's lackluster feel do you think stems from Sean Strickland being a surprise champion?
It's an interesting matchup since Dricus du Plessis is undefeated and brings fresh blood to the middleweight title picture, but overall there might not be enough star power to generate excitement.
Episode 592: UFC 299 spectacular (for Sean O'Malley)!
Q: What does the future hold for Marlon Vera after his defeat?
He might face tough times ahead and it seems like this was the title shot, but he could still have a future in fun events.
