Before the guys get into it this week, there are a couple of recent outfits that needed to be addressed... Frozone and a nude captain America make their cases.

Then, Kamaru and Henry offer some insight into the artist's struggle, commenting in particular on Alex Pereira and Shakur Stevenson. How frustrating is it to succeed in the cage only to be met with criticism and doubt outside of it? Triple C is a master at ignoring the hate, but not everyone copes so naturally. Case in point: the hate that Kamaru got for his "30%" statement back in the day, which caused him to stay offline for a few days.

Not everyone takes a break from the internet though... enter: Shakur Stevenson's Twitter. The guys stumbled upon an "It Is What It Is" segment where hosts Mase and Cam'ron fired seven straight minutes of damage at the WBO Super Featherweight, in response to a few tweets Shakur posted earlier in the week. Kamaru and Henry offer sage words to Shakur, from the fighter's perspective. Criticism is inevitable, knowing how to ignore it, and even use it, is essential to success.

Okay - time to address Saturday Night Fight Night in Denver Colorado. Tracy Cortez is taking on Rose Namajunas and this one hits close to home.

Kamaru and Rose are old teammates, and he's seen enough power from the former UFC champion to know she can beat nearly anybody. On the flip side of that coin, Henry trains every day with Tracy Cortez out in AZ, the young star is even living with his brother as she trains for Saturday's matchup. In other words: the P4P podcast is split on Namajunas vs. Cortez.

Net Net: SOMEONE'S CRACKING AN EGG ON THEIR HEAD.

Yes, it's true. Kamaru backs Namajunas, Henry backs Cortez, and loser takes an egg to the dome.

There are plenty of other fights to be excited about this week, too. The guys break down a few of the other matchups they're excited about. And, even a few that never happened. Stay tuned until the end to hear about Kamaru and Henry's top "Fight That Never Was."

Enjoy!
