  • How can they know so little?

    I’ve listened to about 30 episodes. Host is wrong as often as he’s not. Doesn’t know who’s fought who, doesn’t know who’s been ranked. I can’t believe this show is sustainable! Who’s it for? They constantly say how they didn’t watch an event or didn’t see a certain fight…..what are you for? They disrespect the sport as much as BSD disrespected paddy’s ground game. Hopefully they at least watched that.

  • Too much politics

    I’ve been a pretty regular listener for five or six years. I like the MMA commentary. I like the format. But my goodness they have the most stale political takes that they cannot keep to themselves. Greg is easily the worst offender here. It wasn’t always this way. Consider this another casualty of 2020.

  • Bad

    No knowledge of reality in mma. Basically anyone can say anything and force that sound as a truth. Very sad. Mma propaganda. If you don't know things, that's ok, but don't make things up on your podcast and play it off as real. Best advice is to not listen and hope for the end of this podcast
