  • Great episode

    You guys are still going strong. More podcast Dave please. I really enjoyed your discussion today. Also, I like that other guy who kept calling you JT. Although, he did have that horrible take about Pereira being able to withstand John’s wrestling.

  • Stop with the backstories

    Guys please stop yapping about whatever memories from Strikeforce back in the day. I like the fight analysis but it’s probably about 20% of the timestamp where it says the top.

    Less than 20% of an entire episode is fight analysis

UFC EDMONTON INSTANT REACTION! BUCKLEY vs MALOTT SHOCKER?! 😳 | JOSH THOMSON
Q: Was the follow up shot necessary?
Thomson says it was appropriate because the referee had not stepped in; a fighter risks losing control if an opponent recovers and continues fighting.
DAMIAN PINAS: β€œYOU HAVEN’T SEEN ANYTHING YET!” 😳 UFC’S NEXT BIG MIDDLEWEIGHT STAR?
Q: Do you feel comfortable with your wrestling?
Pinas says he is confident in grappling and can defend takedowns when he chooses to, explaining that he previously focused on fighting from the ground rather than preventing takedowns.

Q: And how does, how do you think Petr Yan gets it done though?
