Well, Friday is here, so that means we are turning our gaze to what's been happening in the world of #MMA

We start things off with our with our week 13 NFL predictions.

You knew it was coming and Evander Holyfield is going hard looking for a Mike Tyson fight. But for their legacies is a stretch.

David Feldman is also using Tyson as a way to blow up Bare Knuckle FC, cause there is no way he does bare knuckle!

We finally got the news we've been waiting on, Claressa Shields has signed with the PFL. So, we'll soon be able to see how she'll do in this ol MMA game.

And we now know when Bella Mir will do it again, and that's at iKON 4

And we give the 'UFC on ESPN 19' weigh-in's a quick look, Hermansson & Marvin Vettori were all good, but not so much for Ovince St. Preux!

Today's (ep 118) @ChinCheckPod breaks it all down, so let's get with it!

- NFL Week 13: Predictions

'Rock'n Roll' by The Sounds - 2002

We jump into December with the first of the last three cards of the year! 

UFC on ESPN 19 has had some changes, but the clash between Jack Hermansson & Marvin Vettori could give us a good indication on a potential challenger for the belt.

And with the Co-main, the question is, will the willey vet Ovince St. Preux pull off another von flue or will the young gun Jamahal Hill continue his rampage through the division 

So, let's preview the upcoming action with today's (ep. 117) @ChinCheckPod

- UFC on ESPN 19: Hermansson vs. Vettori

'Country Folks' by (feat. Danny Boone, Colt Ford) Bubba Sparxxx - 2013

This week's #EFTV goes in on the hypocrisy of complaints against Mail Force for supplying masks and Nike for talking about discrimination. 

We also get into 'online grooming' and we're not talking hair cuts, the courts ruling on gender blockers, Kaavan the elephants release and Drake's issues with The Grammy's.

PLUS, we hit Netlix for a look at their first ever Egyptian horror series, 'Paranormal'. Which is based on Ahmed Khaled Tawfik book series.

AND, our Audible of the week, is a venture back into the world of Mark Greaney's 'Gray Man'. With book 3 of the series, 'Ballistic'.

This week:

- Fury asks to be removed from BBC's 'Sports Personality of the Year' shortlist

- Lonely elephant finally released but to what fate!!!

- Investigations into Mail Force for providing needed masks, but used a bad manufacturer

- Grooming online, who's to blame???

- Courts rule on gender blockers for children!

- People going at Nike for making an advert on discrimination in Japan, WHATS YOUR DEAL!!!

- Drake thinks Grammy's should be replaced, but by what???

- Chin check

'Ugly' by Bubba Sparxxx - 2001

That was a REAL jam packed weekend of fight action!!!

You weren't sure what was going to go down with the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones jnr fight, especially after what the California State Athletic Commission said. But, it was somewhat interesting, mainly impressive that at their ages they could still get in there. Snoop probably stole the show.

And with all those last minute shifts, 'UFC on ESPN 18' had seven fracking finishes

Nathan Maness, Su Mudaerji, Gina Mazany, Anderson dos Santos, Jonathan Pearce and Miguel Baeza all put it down and looked impressive 🔥

In the Main, you could see that Devin Clark was way too intense and Anthony Smith was able to use those vet skills to get the choke and end that slide.

THEN, on Sunday we ended things with an incredible Combat Jiu Jitsu Worlds event 

So many great matches, with Keith Krikorian, Cris Lencioni and Derek Rayfield doing their thing in the Special Match-Ups. BUT, the night went to the new kid on the block, Kade Ruotolo! 

There's also some NFL recap and today's (ep 116) @ChinCheckPod breaks it all down, so let's get with it!

- NFL: Week 12: Sunday Games

- Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones jnr

- UFC on ESPN 18: Smith vs Clark

- Combat Jiu-Jitsu Worlds 2020: The Lightweights
