For the first time since October 2015, yours truly and Jeff took a spin around the MMA world on a near-hour long edition, hitting on the following and more:
– The ups and downs of UFC free agents heading to Bellator and the reality of what happens when they get there
– A look ahead at October’s UFC main events and which fight both of us are looking forward to the most
– What stood out the most from the recent performances of Luke Rockhold, Mike Perry, and Ovince Saint Preux
– A history lesson on the UFC not playing the national anthem in any country they run a show in
– Debating where the Claudia Gadelha vs. Jessica Andrade fight from UFC Japan will fit in the Fight of the Year rankings
