After a delightful video of a heroic cashier using some impressive striking abilities to protect a large man from an even larger man getting bullied in her store, we discuss UFC 235, especially the Askren Lawler fight, and eventually Zeke takes us on a tour of the VERY recently retired Mirko Cro Cop. A certain legend of the sport who inspires us to get a bit philosophical about why humans love to invest so much in things (like their lives) just to destroy them. Along the way we discuss the power of simple 1s and 2s, injuring yourself on the dismount, the personal curse of Jon Jones, watermelon crushing, why the older brother choke is surprising, why MMA is safer than other contact sports, Usman being the first african born champ, how happy we are for Tyron the artist, and how silly it is that samurai would work so hard on their bodies just to go chop 'em up in a field.
