Before you guys made us the fastest growing MMA Podcast on the block, Jimmy and myself did a few "pilot episodes" to make sure we had the chemistry to work together. With our UFC 236 recap being delayed for a day, we felt it was a great time to pull this out of the vault and share it, it actually inspired the "Our Mount Rushmore" Episode that technically launched the podcast. Thank you guys so much for the incredible support and we will be back at you tomorrow to breakdown the history that was UFC 236!

Jimmy and Ryan preview this weekends UFC 236 main card by breaking down the top 3 fights on the marque. We also have an in depth discussion on how the loss of PPV sales, ESPN streaming and card pacing could impact you this weekend.

Jimmy blends in a first person perspective on how the broadcast dealt with those passing issues in the past, but not before trying to guess the 8 states who have yet to hear the podcast.

In a bonus episode, Jimmy and Ryan discuss the punishment levied for TJ Dillashaw on Tuesday April 9th. Revisiting some of the past accusations made against TJ, his defiance to those and how this could impact his career both in and out of fighting. We talk about other fighters that have found success after failed drug tests and ways the system could improve moving forward.

As promised, we attempted to do the impossible and break down fights that Jimmy has never seen discussing both Brawl and BKFC 5. Despite not seeing the event, Jimmy speaks openly about cage doors that aren't latched, post fight speech etiquette and  promoters docking pay for "poor performance".

Jimmy and Ryan discuss the latest developments in the social media feud between Conor and Khabib. With both UFC and Bellator taking a hiatus this weekend they discuss if this weekends Bare Knuckle Promotion options are viable options for fans to watch.

Jimmy and Ryan recap the main card of UFC on ESPN: Barboza vs. Gaethje. Prior to discussing the card, we wanted to thank new listeners to the podcast and going over feedback regarding Bruce Lee being excluded from the Mount Rushmore conversation from last week.

What better way to start a podcast than a topic that generally causes arguments and conflict?  Inspired by a pilot episode in which Jimmy stated Conor McGregor would not be on his "Mount Rushmore", this episode sees Jimmy and Ryan select the 4 most ideal figures to appear on the fictional Mount Rushmore of MMA.
