Figure Four Weekly Free

On a new Josh Nason's Punch-Out, I sat down over Skype with Ant Evans, former director of PR and a key driver of the early days of UFC Fight Pass.

Over our hour-long talk, we hit on everything from his book with Michael Bisping, his Ultimate Insider newsletter, why he doesn't want to do a tell-all, memories of his days in the UFC, and plenty more.
