On this week's fight night recap, i'm joined by a longtime friend of the program. He first joined me on the program for Episode 37 in August of 2018, and most recently came on in May of last year. A friend of the program, an MMA twitter legend, but more importantly a good friend of mine personally.

Back for a big year in 2020, and to start things off my man Travis Sanders joins me to talk Texans, Patriots, Titans, Vikings, Seahawks, new NFL head coaches along with their destinations, and much more.

Tonight I go against my better judgement, in order of having an MMA media member on the program to talk about anything other than fighting. But, since I trust and consider him a good friend of mine, and colleague from Cageside Press John Franklin (known on twitter and throughout the MMA sphere for his podcast title as 'The Sunday Morning Cornerman') to talk NBA Free Agency.

Joining me today to talk a loaded slate in combat sports for this weekend, senior editor at Cageside Press, my man Danny Doherty. We talk in-depth about his experience covering Bellator 222 at Madison Square Garden, as well as preview UFC Greenville, Bellator 222, and Paulie Malinaggi vs. Artem Lobov at Bare Knuckle FC 6.

Joining me amidst the face-punch discussion is the one and only, writer for Sherdog & On Point MMA, Mr. Anthony Walker comes on the program for the first time. We're talking all the latest news and noteworthy stories in MMA, including everything surrounding this weekend's event in Stockholm headlined by Light Heavyweights Alexander Gustafsson and Anthony 'Lionheart' Smith.

Joining me today is someone I consider a close friend of mine, MMA media's very own stud muffin Mike Pendleton of MyMMANews and BJPenn.com. We talk about his experience last week covering Bellator 221, as well as UFC 237 and the upcoming weekend's fight card in Rochester.

Back on the program once again, a good friend of the show, the one and the only Marcel Dorff of MMA DNA. We talk UFC Ottawa, UFC 237, and Bellator 221 in what is surely shaping up as a wild weekend to be in MMA.

Mr. Tiggle and I will be delivering weekly renditions of these NBA-tailored podcasts, and for the latest edition of the podcast we touch on everything happening across the Association through the first several games of these playoffs so far.

Joined once again by one of the podcast's good friends Max Freedman, he and I go through a wild weekend that was in Atlanta at UFC 236. Also, Jon Jones-Israel Adesanya's exchange is touched on, in addition to looking ahead this weekend's fights in St. Petersburg, Russia.

On this edition of the MMA-tailored Bottom line, I give my thought's on just how detrimental TJ Dillashaw's recent failed drug test is for his career and legacy, as well as my picks and pointers for all 13 fights that make up UFC 236 in Atlanta.

It feels good to be back where I belong, and that is discussing the biggest and best fights for you to either agree with me on or think i'm an idiot from as a result. I go in depth on the latest news and bookings in MMA, as well as break down the top fights at UFC Philadelphia and ONE Championship: A New Era.

Back with another pay-per-view breakdown, this time around i'll dissect the fight card down under that is UFC 234, as well as the inaugural European Series event for Bellator MMA in Newcastle.

We're BACK!

After a several week hiatus in an effort to get my life in order as well as upgrade my podcasting amenities, I'm back for a FULL length breakdown of UFC 232. On this episode i'm joined by a special guest, Editor & Founder of MMA Takeover, as well as a Contributor at both FanSided and Sherdog; Keith Shillan.
