On this week's show, we sit down with Allen Crowder who discusses all the hoopla surrounding his upcoming fight. He talks about the complicated nature of getting loads of publicity and in a very different way as he prepares to fight the controversial Greg Hardy.

Then we take you around MMA. New Years was an exciting time for throw downs. UFC has some GOAT moments, PFL gave away millions of dollars to 6 people and Rizin gave 9 million away to just 1.

Plus, we recap the year that was with our end of the year awards. "Gumby" and "Shockwave" Dave only agree on 1 of the awards. Which will it be?

With two fight cards packing this weekend with action, we decided to pack our show as well.

We start it all off by talking with Jimmy Crute prior to his UFC Adelaide showdown with Paul Craig. In a division mostly consumed with older fighters, this 22-year old Australian looks to make his name. We talk about that and what it was like to hear kind words from his new boss.

Then we’re running down the news of the week. A once hot prospect is out of the UFC and another is fighting a legend. Hear our take on both situations.

In honor of The Ultimate Fighter Finale this Friday, we’re breaking down the best 5 to ever live in the TUF house. Plus, we’re breaking down that Friday fight card along with Saturday’s offering in Adelaide. It’s a big weekend and we’ve got you covered.
