Ryan and Paul are back for the 2nd time in 3 days with the regular edition of In the Clinch. They go over some leftover notes regarding UFC 271 including how important Jared Cannonier's promo following his big win was. They then preview this coming weekend's show which is another one of those with not a lot of big names that could be a lot of fun. It's headlined by a light heavyweight fight between top 15 fights Jamahal Hill and Johnny Walker. They then talk about the controversy surrounding Joe Rogan this coming weekend before going into the news which includes rumblings of Kayla Harrison dropping weight to possibly come into UFC and a big Bellator show shaping up in May in Paris France.

Part four of Fumi Saito & Justin Knipper’s profile series on Antonio Inoki has arrived. The show picks up where the two left off last time, during the mid-1970s, and finishes at around 1985 in Inoki’s career.

The two went over the nature of the 11-year NJPW-WWF relationship and Inoki’s relations with Vince McMahon Sr, plus how Giant Baba, Bruno Sammartino, and “Superstar” Billy Graham fit into the picture at the time. Fumi also gives out a bit of deathmatch trivia involving Inoki and Umanosuke Ueda before diving deep into Inoki’s rivalry with former WWF World Heavyweight champion, Bob Backlund. Fumi goes over the dense and somewhat convoluted story of Inoki winning and vacating the WWF World Heavyweight title from Backlund and how important the Japanese print media was in spinning the angle to the Japanese fanbase.

Before wrapping, Fumi & Justin covered Inoki’s rivalry with Stan Hansen as well as his storied history with Hulk Hogan and the infamous 1983 IWGP finals match between Inoki and Hogan. Justin also posits the question: Did “Hulkamania” start in Tokyo? 

Tune in next week for part five, the final episode of Antonio Inoki’s profile series on Write That Down!

Paul and Ryan are back with a jam packed episode to go over all that's happening in the world of MMA. They look back at a somewhat lackluster UFC on ESPN+ show from this past weekend with a fight of the year contender to kick off the main card and a nice performance from Sean Strickland in the main event that may have earned him a title shot. They go on to preview UFC 271 from Houston that Ryan will be covering live with Israel Adesanya defending his middleweight title in a rematch against Robert Whitaker and local favorite Derrick Lewis taking on Tai Tuivasa in a big heavyweight clash in the co-main. They go over the cast list for the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter and finish off by going over the news of the week.
