Top Turtle MMA

There may be no UFC card this weekend, but the boys from Top Turtle MMA never sleep.

This week they’re taking you down memory lane to talk about retro fight cards. Each host has selected a low key fight card that they think deserves more attention and has held up against the test of time. Be sure to head on over to their Twitter to vote on which one was better.

Plus, ‘Gumby’ has a chat with Bellator prospect Christian Edwards fresh off of his viral knockout at Bellator 233. Edwards shares thoughts about his future with Bellator as well as how he wound up at Jackson-Wink MMA.

Then Paddy Pimblett stops by before his bout with Joe Gianetti. He talks about how that matchup came around, and how he feels Gianetti might be an easier bout than originally planned for.

Just before the UFC takes a quick break, the UFC heads to Sao Paulo and the boys from Top Turtle are all over it.

First they’re breaking down the fight card, starting with the light heavyweight showdown between Jan Blachowicz and Jacare Souza. Then, they’ll be dishing on their other two favorite fights on the card. Plus, they’ll hand out some free betting advice on an underdog and a parlay you should consider (and their picks have been red hot this month).

And if that isn’t enough to spark your interests, they’ll be chatting with two fighters heading to Sao Paulo. First, James Krause stops by to talk about his fight and why he’ll never feel like he “made it” in the UFC. Then Tracy Cortez talks about growing up alongside of Henry Cejudo and how crazy it is that they’ve both made the UFC.

This episode is loaded, so don’t miss a moment.
