It's an epic episode. I only download the must listen shows tbh.
Joe is the most dont give a shit sports personality out there, not many commentators are worth north of 20m so when he feels he has to issue an apology it must to be good!
It's on my "subscribe" list but I only really listen to ones where I am interested in the guest. I actually like Rogan but I can't take him banging on about weed and William Randolph Hearst for the millionth time. This Crowder chap is a Fox news, right wing guy? Not really my cup of tea to be honest.
I gave up on the one where he interviewed Alex Jones after about 20 minutes, just too much bullshit. The recent ones with Leah Remini and Henry Rollins were good.
Apparently the Alex Jones episode has had over 3m downloads. I made it to 40 mins and tapped out, the weed and jack took full control and it fell apart.
I watch most Rogan episodes but I couldn't listen to more than five minutes of that episode. It was awful.
Another top fighter released by UFC...
Horiguchi and his 8-1 UFC record were deemed not worthy enough by the geniuses.

GSP is back in the UFC apparently. I guess we're going to see a whole bunch of boring fights soon.
The UFC is really hurting right now imo. Despite being very popular, they are in a precarious position of not having any massive stars outside Conor at the moment. Jones is out, Rousey is probably done, Silva is done, Conor is looking at boxing (which lets face it will mean the end of his UFC career given the money disparity), and most of the champs in the various divisions are pretty dull. They desperately need a new star to breakthrough from nowhere like Conor did a couple of years ago.
Yeah there's not really anyone I can see doing it...but then again like you say Conor kind of came out of nowhere.
Grabrandt has potential in the ring but is ridiculously awkward when he speaks. I think the next likely one is Khabib he has the personality for it and the ability as well. I reckon deep down the UFC brass will be preying for him to fight and beat Conor cos the reality is if the boxing fight happens like you say there's no way Conor is stepping in the octagon for a few million.
So cyborg has been cleared to fight
It's odd she got an exemption considering her past of using sterioids. I still think she's roided out her mind but like I've said in the past it's not up to us to decide if they let her fight so be it. I suppose she'll get the featherweight division more stacked...
apart from the Fedor fight, any other interesting tonight?
Feck me they absolutely roasted her on Rogan a few months back, a complete character assassination.
Now she's cleared it looks completely irresponsible on their part
Krylov, another good LHW prospect getting the cut (he didn't accept the UFC offer).
if Cirkunov, Bader and Krylov end up in Bellator, their LHW division would look quite decent.
what's with all this shitty moves the UFC is doing lately? cutting fighters to be able to pay GSP?

Some well known fighters on the main card. I'd like to watch it. But Bellator for some reason do not have a live tv deal in Ireland/U.K despite holding recent events over here
I could stream it, but that would mean I would have to stay up
Wow. Stupidity. Unless they're thinking of getting rid of that division all together. I like Cirkunov and Krylov.
yep, madness. I'm already pissed, but now I'm also starting to feel worried... i don't want the UFC to go to shit.
Hopefully if they can get the big majority of the fighters to join the unions they can get a better deal.
I thing I'm skipping it... probably gonna party tonight and have an MMA marathon tomorrow. Hopefully unspoiled.
Failing to sign Horiguchi back is ridiculous, he's got great potential in a shallow division, his only loss is to Mighty Mouse ffs. I guess he knows Rizin will come in with a better offer, but the UFC should have been able to get a deal done.
For feck sake. This isn't really their fault but Bellator have earned zero good will from the start. I remember not that long ago that I looked forward to Strikeforce cards more than UFC events.
Especially seeing as that division is so shallow
This and Crikunov not getting a deal. The new owners worry me
I know many had issues with the ferrtitas, but I'm not sure they would have allowed either to get away
Reading updates, not watching. Koscheck with another defeat. His Bellator debut
He needed to retire 3 years ago

Well that's embarrassing...
watched the whole Bellator event, some decent fights and finishes. But no fighter really on UFC level.
That russian kid from team Fedor its the Bellator version of Makhachev. Not really impressed by them (well, except for their humping ability), although fedor's dude finished his opponent at least.
anyway, early prelims for tonight starting now.

2 fights, 2 nice finishes.
that spinning back heel kick by Santos was brutal.

Taleb - Ponzinibio next... someone is going to sleep.
Apparently it was the ref for missing the eye poke.
Close fight. Thought Ponz shaded it based on a strong 2nd round
Wby do they have prelims for free to air cards?
Never made sense to me

i wasn't expecting this one to go to the judges. Disappointed.
yeah, Ponzinibio probably edges it. Not his best performance.

To encourage fight pass subscriptions.
The fact that the kick in the jaw, that nearly took his head off, isn't the worst thing about that, says it all. The guy will wake up with an apocalyptic headache but his pride has taken the worst injury.
Felder fecked Ricci's nose pretty good.
...and thanks for coming....
McMann's strength is ridiculous.
I think McMann is nearing a title shot. Let's face, there aren't really any other fighters around to challenge the Nunes/Shevchenko winner.
Gavin Tucker looks a pretty good addition to the FW division. What a debut performance.
next Johny Hendricks vs. Hector Lombard
