We had a blast talking the UFC Austin event and some jabs at Raf's age. We did our best to make some fun noise out of the few headlines and the Nate Diaz Paul stuff. Cheers!
We had too much recapping the fights, and then also sliding into full pop culture mode. Frankly we blame the weather, it has been too hot. If you disagree, send us AC money. Raf worked, Kevin kinda watched, enjoy a pretty lively episode on the fight world this lazy summer.

There are no words, yet some of the dumbest people in jiu-jitsu found some.

We had too much diving into the fights this past weekend as well as Gym Crashers. Raf was on location, Kevin was on his couch watching Fight Night, and the UFC has announced a tournament coming this June. We have a problem with the ESPN headline, but a huge love for the tournament! Join us.
Ya the title is all over the place and so are we. We spent a lot of time talking movies, the Batman franchise, and why its extremely important to us as people to discuss it. You'll notice an influx of bold predictions, you're welcome. Raf interviewed a ton of ADCC trials winners, actually all of the, go check those out and hear the preview at the top. Cheers, we had fun.
