A shorter episode of #EFTV this week. We get into the Football Association making a BS stand against s'posed 'hate speech', while doing nothing against actual ish! Also, the ol clown with the crown, Pope Francis is being a lying c@*t on the abuse the church has committed repeated over the years!!! Mary Wollstonecraft gets a statue...but people aren't pleased and BMW-i have invented a electrified wingsuit.

PLUS, we went deepthroat and crypto and finally got into season one of Sam Esmail's Amazon Prime series 'Mr Robot'

'Believe' by The Bravery - 2008

Saturday showed that quality fights are quality fights!!!

UFC on ESPN+ 40 delivered and then some, ten fights, six ended with a finish.

Gustavo Lopez, Darren Elkins & Alexandr Romanov all had slick arse submissions.

While Trevin Giles & Ggiga Chikadze ended things with fists and legs

It was one of those nights and we saw a couple of cats roll back the clock! Andrei Arlovski was able to land the decisive shots that got him the nod in the Co-main.

AND, Glover Teixeira showed what heart and grit gets you..when of course, you have pure talent. It was a performance with everything, a come back from the brink. You just can't not be happy for Teixeira!!!

There's also some NFL recap and today's (ep 107) @ChinCheckPod breaks it all down, so let's get with it!

Canelo Alvarez is now a free man, after severing ties with Golden Boy Promotions & DAZN.

The WBC has created a new belt for the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jnr fight and the California State Athletic Commission's thoughts on how it'll be overseen might turn people off.

Before Corey Anderson made his Bellator debut, he wanted to vent and the terrible MMA journalists didn't ask anything constructive.

Plus, Diego Sanchez went on a Twitter spiral with an odd attack of Dan Hardy.

FINALLY, we give the 'UFC on ESPN+ 40' weigh-in's a quick look.

Although there have been a few drop outs from the 'UFC on ESPN+ 40' card, we're still getting a stack of great clashes!

Ian Heinisch vs Brendan Allen is one that we've been waiting to see for a while.

And the Co-main event could be a changing of the guard, as we see Tanner Boser go up against the vet, the pittbull, Andrei Arlovski

And then, the Main event can definitely be looked at as a number one contender fight. As Thiago Santos returns to the cage to face fellow countryman Glover Teixeira.

'Break Ya Neck' (feat. Rampage) by Busta Rhymes - 2001

We get straight into the whole Warner Bros 'The Witches' controversy, where people like Alex Brooker have lost their mind, cause the movie is about witches! Then there's the fact that Maarten Struijs' 'Whale Tails' saved a train in Holland,  Jump over to India and Republic founder Arnab Goswami gets arrested, while Pierson Olivia's book gets pulled for her comments about Nanaia Mahuta's Maori tattoo. It's all Magnolia in Mississippi as they get a new flag, and the Grammy's are all bout that virtue signaling. We talk about it all, on this week's #EFTV 

PLUS, we started our inadvertent foray into Greek Mythology with the new Powerhouse Animation series, 'Blood of Zeus' on Netflix.
