Top Turtle MMA

The UFC is, big surprise, back at the Apex this week. Even less surprising? Top Turtle has got all the good stuff for you!

This week, Gumby is chatting with Emily Whitmire and Impa Kasanganay, who both fight this weekend. Whitmire shares the story about how waitressing and a fake ID got her into a seedy bar and her career simultaneously. Then Kasanganay discusses what it feels like to wait for a contract after going first on the Contender Series.

All that, and the usual gambling breakdown - which hit big on the underdog again last weekend - so don’t miss out.

We come back down to Earth after a head spinning UFC 252, and Top Turtle has you as a grounded opponent. Let them recap some of the craziness and get you back on the right track for this week.

First, Gumby will be talking with a pair of fighters from this week’s UFC Vegas 7. First Joe Solecki joins before he looks to make it 2-0 in the Octagon. He weighs in on the rise of Gym-O, and watching his replacement fighter fail to make it off the stool. Then Shana Dobson is in the house talking about finding MMA late in life, and her connection to the sport.

And if that isn’t enough, the guys are obviously back with their gambling breakdown. They’ve had plus-money picks land two weeks in a row, why not join them and make it three?
