Reviewing fights and potential future matchups to make after UFC 300. Was it everything you thought it'd be? Alex Pereira vs Jamahal Hill, Weili Zhang vs Yan Xiaonan, Justin Gaethje vs Max Holloway, Charles Oliveira vs Arman Tsarukyan, Bo Nickal vs Cody Brundage, Jiri Prochazka vs Aleksandar Rakic, Calvin Kattar vs Aljamain Sterling, Holly Holm vs Kayla Harrison, Sodiq Yusuff vs Diego Lopes, Jalin Turner vs Renato Moicano, Jessica Andrade vs Marina Rodriguez, Bobby Green vs Jim Miller, Deiveson Figueiredo vs Cody Garbgrandt

Would you break someone's arm if they didn't tap at a local BJJ tournament? What level is it okay? Then a review on Calon Sabino's (local San Diego BJJ black belt) altercation with an intoxicated, provoking man outside of a Wells Fargo Bank. This video went viral and provoked a lot of discussion on self-defense and what is appropriate when.

A group of affluent high school boys bully and kill another local boy and boast about it. Women are randomly being punched by unknown men in NYC. Our feeds are full of unnecessary violence, but is it just our feeds? Or is America less safe than it used to be?

Ben Askren postulated that the best wrestlers would defeat the best BJJ players in a Catch Wrestling ruleset, which he argued was most applicable for fighting. Is this the case? Arturo got staph and impetigo, and then we talk about placebos vs nocebos and how it affects our training.

UFC fighter Sean Strickland made a video claiming Navy Seals wouldn't last a fight camp with him and to stop claiming to be the toughest people in the world. A Navy Seal made a response to Sean and the internet, like always, had an argument about it. Then we get into ideas of 'fighting for freedom' vs wars under false pretense.

-Is AA more commonly using martial arts as a way to cope with addiction?

Ian Heinisch has one of the craziest life stories out there, and lucky for us, one that comes with lessons, a comeback, goals, and inspiration. From running country to country smuggling drugs to doing time in Spain, Ian finally found himself reforming in prison. Upon US re-entry, he was sent to Rikers and saw the problems of the US prison system, comparatively. After serving his time, reforming his life, he made it to the top 10 in UFC before forcing an early retirement from brain trauma. Currently, he is healing from injuries, planning an eventual return to MMA, all with the end goal of creating a half-way house for troubled youths to get into martial arts amongst other career opportunities. Listen in on Ian's experience with prison, addiction, finding God, MMA, Big Pharma, treatments for brain injuries, and why he got into crypto as means of achieving freedom from it all.
