The Fight Game Podcast: Pro Wrestling, MMA & Boxing

Fumi Saito & Justin Knipper are back with a special episode on the history of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) in Japan, where they discuss how much influence the NWA would have on the Japanese wrestling fanbase from the 1950s into the late ’80s. The two went over a variety topics, like Rikidozan’s famous championship matches against Lou Thesz, Jules Strongbow’s working relationship with the Kokichi Endo and Yoshino Sato & JWA from 1967, Dory Funk Jr. vs. Gene Kiniski for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship, the perception of what a cowboy is in Japan and how the Funk family embodied it, and later, an extended conversation on the Funks, Jumbo Tsuruta and Bruiser Brody.

Ryan Frederick and Paul Fontaine are back to talk about the week that was and is to come in the world of MMA. Ryan was at the show live and in our "We Have to Talk About", Ryan spills the beans on Dana White talking about a big announcement he'll be making on the Abu Dhabi show in September. Ryan has a pretty good idea of what it's going to be and drops that knowledge to the listener. The guys then recap the show that continued the UFC's sellout string and featured the female GOAT regaining her 135 lb title and a new headlining superstar being created in the co-main event. They then preview this coming weekend's shows on ESPN including Anthony Pettis vs Stevie Ray on Friday for PFL and Saturday's UFC card headlined by Thiago Santos and Jamahal Hill which also features the finals of the two Ultimate Fighter tournaments. They close off the show with news which includes the upcoming retirement of a former Bellator champion and some new fights that were signed this week.
