That is this podcast. And that person is me. If you hadn't guessed already. read less

UFC Fight Night: Cannonier vs Borralho was a surprisingly fun card, with a great scrap for the main event. The latter of which I did go over, but you’ll have to take my word for it, as some of my audio got corrupted :( (Disclaimer: I was very ill when recording this, I think I edited out all the sniffles, but I’m sorry if I left any in haha)00:00 Intro and podcast name explanation02:23 Mairon Santos: a star is born17:38 Magny vs calf kicks20:30 The glass cannon squares off against the old leather boot34:22 Wang Cong smashes some person41:15 Outro

I go on a 18 min tangent about the Adesanya vs Pereria rivalry, it goes on till 32:40 if you want to skip that)

2 - UFC 304: past our bedtime

Guess who's back? Good guess, gold star for you. I return from the ether of procrastination to once again talk about fight events. This time it was UFC 304 in sunny ol' Manchester (England), where the fans were put to sleep. To blame? American broadcast timings (and some boring fights).

Howdy there! On the first ever episode i talk all things UFC 302 (while embarking on a fractured journey of random tangents and miscellaneous thoughts). (Hopefully i make more than one episode)
