  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

UFC PARIS PREVIEW + SHANGHAI FALLOUT!
Q: What makes Salahdine Parnasse a good matchup for Dan Hooker in Paris?
Parnasse's well-rounded skills and speed provide a stylistic challenge for Hooker, and the UFC's matchmakers intentionally paired them to showcase Parnasse and create an exciting, high-energy main event in a premier market.
DREW DOBER CALLS OUT MICHAEL CHANDLER! “I WANT THAT FIGHT” 🔥
Q: Do you see this fight with Chandler as a main event or a big-ticket matchup?
Yes, I can definitely see it as a main event on an Apex card or a high-profile card because it has the makings of a sellable, exciting matchup that fans would pay to see.
Darren Till Wants BACK in the UFC! Yoel Romero Beef, Paddy Pimblett & What's Next
Q: What makes the Yoel Romero fight such a big deal for you?
Till highlights Romero's power and age-defying physicality, arguing that his knock-out capability and “Cuban experiment” aura make him a uniquely dangerous opponent and a landmark challenge.
Khabib and Islam's Relationship | Josh Thomson Explains
Q: So how do you see this fight going? Islam vs. Ian? How do you see it going? Who wins and when?
If Islam is laser-focused, he can win quickly, potentially by submission by the third round, but he must secure a takedown early and avoid getting distracted by Ian Garry's speed and movement.
UFC Welterweight Uros Medic is INSPIRED by Justin Gaethje
Q: When is the meniscus surgery, and how will that affect your schedule?
Surgery would be soon after returning to Serbia, with a likely quick procedure and a return to action once healed; timing depends on coordinating with the UFC.
