Plus, Alexandre Pantoja vs. Steve Erceg predictions and Petesy’s update on UFC’s maiden voyage to Spain
Tom Aspinall has joined the chorus of English voices decrying the UFC’s decision to hold UFC 304 during obnoxiously early morning hours, prompting Petesy Carroll and Chuck Mindenhall to begin today’s episode by discussing the blowback and whether it’s warranted. Then, they get into another flashy win for Mike Perry in BKFC, and whether the infusion of cash from Conor McGregor will give BKFC the legitimacy it’s searching for.
After that, the lads dive into Saturday’s UFC 301, discussing Steve Erceg’s exceptionally fast rise, a bad setup for Brazilian legend José Aldo, and a potentially even worse setup for fan favorite Anthony Smith. To close it out, the guys take Discord questions on UFC 301, BKFC, Ronda Rousey’s controversial comments about the end of her UFC career, and Taylor Swift.
