We start things off with me ranting about a bad experience at popeye's and a theory about whether or not the world actually ended in 2012. Onward from there @theanticool and I go over some recent fight announcements including our thoughts on Amanda Nunes Vs Germaine De Randamie. In MMA news we discuss Cat Zingano being released from the UFC and Conor Mcgregor fighting senior citizens among others things. As for the fights, we cover a little bit of One Championship Dreams Of Gold, we break down Rizin 18 which gave us the MMA heartbreak of the year and of course we discuss UFC 241 which delivered some of the best fights you'll watch all year.
