Finally! That's what the hardcore MMA fans who follow The Spaniard will say about this episode. Because it's straight fight talk with Ben C. of CombatDocket.com and the Combat Docket Radio podcast. This is good stuff, including: How a fight reflects overall personality and lifestyle … How the greatest achievement in UFC history might not make that fighter the Greatest of All Time … and how weight management differs from weight cutting and is a matter of respect. Extra points if you memorize The Spaniard's weight to the decimal on the morning of this recording.
