Echo Chamber

This week's @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ gives you news on the upcoming 'Final Girls Berlin Film Festival'. PLUS, two films. First feature has hit Prime Video and Vertigo Releasing brings their new feature to theatres and digital!

'TiMER' is written by, and the feature directorial debut from Jac Schaeffer. What if a clock could count down to the moment you meet your soul mate? In this alternate version of present day Los Angeles, a revolutionary device called the TiMER fulfills this fantasy. For a reasonable installation fee and moderate monthly charges, a TiMER implanted in the wrist will accurately display the numbers of days, hours, minutes and seconds until the wearers date with destiny. 

'Flag Day' is directed by Sean Penn, written by Jez Butterworth & John-Henry Butterworth, and is an adaptation of Jennifer Vogel's memoir 'Flim-Flam Man: A True Family History'. Jennifer Vogel’s (Dylan Penn) father John (Sean Penn) was larger than life. As a child, Jennifer marveled at his magnetizing energy and ability to make life feel like a grand adventure. He taught her so much about love and joy, but he also happened to be one of the most notorious counterfeiter in US history.

This week we have:

'Morbid Fascination' by Blood Red Shoes - 2022

The 'Legacy Fighting Alliance' is back for another week, and gold is on the line for their '122' event

We have some debuts, but also the return of blazing stars like William Starks, and Brant Moore JR looking to continue their impressive winning streaks. Though, Glaucio Eliziário & Arthur Estrázulas will be looking to give a different outcome.

Then, in the Main event, Carlos Mota is looking to keep that unbeaten record, and make it a third LFA with his hand raised, and gold on his shoulder. The problem is, he's facing Charles Johnson whose not only shown he can do it all, BUT, he's also the current LFA Flyweight Champion. Who knows, an impressive win could be the ticket to the 'UFC'!!!

Then, Saturday night brings us the first PPV of the year, with 'UFC 270: Ngannou vs Gane'.

This card is stacked with 13 incredible match-ups, like Jasmine Jasudavicius vs Kay Hansen, Raoni Barcelos vs Victor Henry, and Cody Stamann vs Said Nurmagomedov.

The whole card is anchored by TWO incredible title fights! The first being the trilogy between Brandon Moreno & Deiveson Figueiredo which if it comes close to the previous two fights, will be all kinds of tremendous!

AND, then, the heavyweights clash, with reigning Champion Francis Ngannou puts his belt on the line against Ciryl Gane who is spearheading the new breed of heavyweight fighters. It's gotten spicy f'sure, and when guys this big go at it, anything can happen!!!

So, let's break it all down, in today's (ep 223) @ChinCheckPod 

- LFA 122: Johnson vs Mota

- UFC 270: N'Gannou vs Gane

'Murder Me' by Blood Red Shoes - 2022

Well, what a weekend of fights to get 2022 up and running with a BANG!!!

And it all actually started with 'Invicta FC' who although with 'AXS TV' had their card playing on YouTube, which was great!

There were impressive performances from Katie Saull, Helen Peralta, Hailey Cowan, and Ramona Pascual.

Then we had the highly anticipated rematch between Jessica Delboni, and the Atomweight Champ Alesha Zappitella. Both felt they won the first, so this one had them give their all to state that claim! Watch Invicta FC recap: HERE.

Friday night was 'Legacy Fighting Alliance' anniversary event, '121' which was fire from jump! Jakori Savage, Anvar Boynazarov, Isaiah Gutierrez, and Michael Cyr all finished their fights in style!

Elijah Johns then put on a clinic. And it all ended with Chris Brown laying down the ground & pound for a third round stoppage!!! Watch LFA recap: HERE.

AND Saturday's 'UFC', 'UFC on ESPN 32: Kattar vs. Chikadze' gave us answers galore!!!

TJ Brown, Brian Kelleher, Court McGee, and Jamie Pickett all put on stellar performances to open things up! Watch Prelim recap: HERE.

Katlyn Chookagian continued to look sharp as hell, Brandon Royval brought that high energy, and Viacheslav Borshchev & Jake Collier got the only finishes on the card! Watch Main card recap: HERE.

AND, in the Main event, many doubted Calvin Kattar after his last fight, but he showed the world, that hearts don't grow on trees! He put on a sensational performance, to get the win, and show that the New England Cartel are definitely not done!!! Watch Main event recap: HERE.

So, let's break it all down, in today's (ep 222) @ChinCheckPod 

- Invicta FC 45: Zappitella vs. Delboni 2

'Hell On Earth' by Mobb Deep - 1996

FINALLY, MMA is BACK!!!

Dirty air tried hard to F things up, BUT, it ain't gonna happen, and we have a fun weekend ahead.

It all starts with the first 'Legacy Fighting Alliance' card of the year, this Friday, which, is also their fifth anniversary!

'121' had some hiccups, but we have a six fight main card, which starts with two debuting Heavyweights Siteu Senghor vs Jakori Savage. And brings it home with a Featherweight Co-main of Elijah Johns vs Brandon Phillips.

Then Chris Brown vs Steve Jones closes the show with a Welterweight Main event!

On Saturday, the 'UFC' is BACK. They had their card issues, but 'UFC on ESPN 32: Kattar vs. Chikadze' still has 10 fights that will sate the appetite!

Some of the hot prospects from 'Dana Whites Contender Series 2021' get to make their debut, which should bring sparks. Cause Viacheslav Borshchev and Joanderson Brito really put on a show last year. Then factor in Joseph Holmes, who had to bring some extra flava to the party, to get that contract.

We've got the Heavyweights in the Co-main, and Chase Sherman really wants to put it on Jake Collier to keep this new stint in the promotion going.

AND, the Main event sees the Cartel go up against a Ninja! Giga Chikadze has been on a nine fight tear, shutting cats down with that GigaKick. But he faces his toughest opponent yet, in Calvin Kattar. Who might be coming off a loss, but is battle tested, and forged in iron. His aspirations haven't been dulled, so they'll be no walk in the park for either!!!

So, let's break it all down, in today's (ep 194) @ChinCheckPod 🥊

- - LFA 121: Brown vs Jones

- UFC on ESPN 32: Kattar vs. Chikadze
