After a few weeks away, I finally catch up with Jeff “The Animal” Wilson to discuss both of our recent travels, eating exotic foods, spending time with family, celebrating life, death, birthdays and everything in between. More of a show about life than MMA, we do break down UFC 280 towards the end of the show, as well as preview UFC Vegas 63. But in all honesty, if you’re looking for a deep dive on MMA, this probably isn’t the show, but cheers to all of you. As always, thank you for the shares, comments, feedback and criticism.

JR talks about his 40-second KO victory in his BKFC debut, the future of the sport, his plans to compete, Julian Lane instigating Mike Perry and the rest of the BKFC Tampa card.

We talk about quarantine movies and TV shows we’ve been watching, cutting down trees, new scotch, cigar pairings, submission underground, soup and much more. We also talk about UFC 249 and the fact that it’s more likely that Kim Jong Un is faking his death than this card actually happens. Don’t worry, we don’t talk MMA until the very end of the show.

This week we would have been breaking down the results of UFC 249 – but since Disney and the coronavirus cancelled it, we had to talk about something else. We still discuss Tony Ferguson making weight for the cancelled event. We also go through a list of our top five favorite fighters who have never won a UFC title. Our lists overlap a bit, but for the most part they are unique to us because they are all fighters who have a significant meaning to us for different reasons. The only criteria is that they have fought in the UFC and never won a title or interim title. As always, we appreciate feedback, ratings, reviews and shares – cheers!

Steve discusses his background and life experience and what led him to first “meet the mat” at The Renzo Gracie Academy in New York City. Steve talks about the struggles of starting jiu jitsu at age 42 while wearing some extra pounds. He also discusses the benefits and mental advances that come from training jiu jitsu and how everyone should try it at some point in their lives. We also discuss the “guru effect” and what you should be wary of when choosing your first gym. We have some laughs and even talk about our experiences training together – cheers!

163 – Dave Mundell Interview – BKFC 8 Recap
I kick off this special edition episode by interviewing BKFC 8 fighter Dave Mundell. Dave talks about his experience as an undefeated (2-0) bare knuckle boxer, how his MMA training helped him, being a part of the bkfc organization and most importantly – taking a bare knuckle boxing match just two weeks before his wedding day! After the interview with Dave, I give a full recap of BKFC 8 from the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa, Florida. I was there live as credentialed media to cover the event. I had conversations with Wanderlei Silva, former UFC heavyweight champion, Fabricio Werdum and BKFC favorite, Jason Knight. I talk about the action of the knight, big knockouts, who stood out, who couldn’t stand up and who had the best game plans. Cheers!

UFC 224 was under sold and over performed. One of the best cards of the year, tying the record for the second most finishes on a UFC card with 11.
