We have a solid episode today fueled by Rise Up Coffee, done the slow-drip way, courtesy of Tucker. We jump right into it with some UFC 285 recapping, including a mention to a successful picks-run by Obs. We parlay that into talks about this week's fight card, and a last minute forecast of Yan and Dvalishvili.  Pet peeves are unravelled, as well as Tucker's fight countdown, with some acc...

The boys are back in town! Happy to bring you all a fresh podcast on a UFC PPV week for UFC 284: Makhachev vs Volkanovski.

Ahhh, another Sunday Sesh. We pound that negativity real hard today. Service Dog policies have gone soft, handicapped spots misused, and worst of all, soft middle fingers have us miffed. But we have some silver lining in Tuckers heavy Traeger prowess, and his departure from the booze in favor of the buds and more cerebral training approaches. Obs glossed over his takes of the UFC FN: Dern vs Yan a...
