Kris & David continue with the week-plus that was June 21-29, 2001; this is the 2nd show which features everything except the WWF. We lead off with a very newsworthy and loaded UFC card at the Meadowlands, featuring Tito Ortiz vs. the unlikely challenger that was Elvis Sinosic, as well as the emergence of B.J. Penn and much more. Then we go to Japan and talk about the major happenings there, including Shinya Hashimoto’s falling out with New Japan, as well as Mexico & Puerto Rico. We then go back to the United States for the indie scene, talking about the Jersey J-Cup, Chris Adams being indicted in Texas, and much more. Don't miss this one as this is a fun show…and there’s a very special announcement up top!!!!
