The Fight Game Podcast: Pro Wrestling, MMA & Boxing

On this week’s episode, Fumi & Justin focused on the one & only MASAHIRO CHONO. After debuting after dozens of wrestlers left NJPW for Japan Pro Wrestling and the first incarnation of UWF, Chono, alongside fellow Three Musketeers Keiji Muto & Shinya Hashimoto, rose to the zenith of his popularity during his time as active in-ring performer during the mid-90s. Chono forged a distinct career path over the years, traveling up and down Eastern coast of North America and throughout Germany & Austria early on, where he really began to grow into the iconic figure fans are familiar with today.

Ryan Frederick and Paul Fontaine are back to talk about the week that was and is to come in the very busy world of mixed martial arts. Saturday night saw the show of the year with UFC 281 from Madison Square Garden which saw two new champions crowned and a fight of the year candidate all on the main card. The guys break that all down as well as the rest of card which was incredible from top to bottom. They then go over a hectic upcoming week with shows from various promotions all week culminating in another UFC on ESPN+ show from the Apex on Saturday afternoon headlined by Derrick Lewis and Sergey Spivak in a heavyweight fight. The card has a lot of familiar names but no real important fights and pretty much exists to fill time on the ESPN streaming service. The question of the week comes from a listener who wants to know if the guys will be watching Dana White's Power Slap League on TBS so they talk a bit about their feelings on that new company. Ryan and Paul then share their memories of Anthony "Rumble" Johnson, who passed away this weekend at the age of 38 in one of the saddest stories of the year before closing out the show with the weekly news segment featuring updates on Cain Velasquez, Jon Jones, UFC 284 in Perth and much more.
