Well unfortunately we didn't get to watch Jess compete under Zuckerberg's beady-eyed automaton gaze but here's some thoughts on last weekend's Bellator and UFC cards.
Also:
- Marketing was super weird for this UFC card. We try and unpack what "building a card around" Dern means
- Bellator's stacked California card
- Invicta FC weigh-ins going tits up (lolololol)
- Weight-cutting and longevity
- Jessica Penne's fight week illness
- Playing bongos on someones ass
- Fighter pay (you can't call Angela a 'broke bitch' anymore. You can only say she 'sucks'.)

Video-version available on our YouTube channel.

Hey you guys, we're back from vacation. Successfully utilizing C- highschool level french to negotiate the mean streets of Paris, we got to bear witness to a pretty dope first-ever UFC card in France.
We discuss that and the madness that was UFC 279 that literally everyone else has been discussing for days and sure you're probably genuinely sick of hearing about it but here's some more opinions that you can feel free to ignore. 

Also:
- Adam displays a fundamental lack of understanding about Chechnya's sociology and how to say 'Chechnya'
- A potential market for a plus-sized woman's fight league
- The unique appeal of undefeated wrestlers like Khamzat and Khabib within the MMA fanbase
- A longform discussion about how Tweeting anything about popular fighters will predictably result in extended pile-on trolling from the above fanbase and how irritating it is
- The strange tale of Danyelle Wolf
- Batman villains

...and more!

If video is more your thing we got that up on our YouTube page.

Au revoir  

Obviously UFC 278... holy fuck!

But first we chat with an old friend Liam Tarrant  - former Muay Thai fighter, commentator extraordinaire  and co-founder of the Muay Thai Project charity. 
He came on to talk about a friend who used to fight but suffered a terrible accident so we discuss his GoFundMe campaign and the work his charity also does helping children and teens with Muay Thai scholarship programs and fundraising. 
Hint: donate and you might get one of our coveted leftover Venum bags! 

In other news, crazy fights, Leon Edwards is the real life Rocky Balboa, Luke Rockhold is the redeemable handsome jock in the teen movie, and MMA just seems a little more magical after #UFC278.

Angie got a win! With respect to that, this is a short one because we've got some day-drinking to get to.

Thanks for the support y'all.

We recap UFC London innit! In addition to that we also talk about:

- Being leftwing and/or a reasonable person in MMA and listening to your contemporaries say a bunch of crazy shit
- The London crowd and an unwavering support for the hometown fighters. Promotional push
- Jack Hermanson gooning the 3rd round (nothing wrong with that)
- Freak accidents during daytime fightcards (officially a pattern now)
- Marc Diakese is a wrassler now
- "Fuck the Tories"
- MMA Journalism is 99% shite

..and more!

Cheerio gents what what I say goodday sir. Anyone else know Bellator was on this weekend?!?

We pick over UFC Long Island where we cornered Ms. Jessica Penne. So we share some thoughts on all that and then we also discuss:

- Getting old and not knowing who famous TikTok-ers are
- Why the NYSAC has such weird idiosyncrasies
- Breeding heavyweights for competition
- That one sandwich shop within a reasonable walking distance of the hotel

...and some other stuff

Oh hello there. We missed a chunk of the fightcard on Saturday because Angela was busy doing some BJJ at High Rollerz which coincidentally was also in Vegas on the same weekend but nevertheless we discuss:

- That banger of a fight between Michael Johnson and Jamie Mullarkey. Why can't we have more draw rounds FFS?
- Courtney Casey and a controversial spilt decision
- Why judging is some shady shit 
- RDA vs. Fiziev
- That weird mixed martial arts-themed porno from the height of Ronda's popularity a few years ago

And more!

It's Fightweek for Jessica Penne! Let's get it!

Angela got to hang out at the fights and do some international fight week-related stuff in Vegas with Jessica Penne (to promote Two Straws Podcast on FightPass). So there's that. Also:

- Where do Ali and Usman buy their suits? Does the suit store not sell shirts?
- TikTok-ification of MMA social media.
- Manicures.
- Fans-in-person vs fans-with-an-anime-avatar-and-a-lot-of-free-time-online.
- And more! 

 We got a YouTube channel now to, if that's your kind of thing.

We also discuss:

- Is the PFL smart cage likely to gain sentience?
- Six degrees of separation in the lightweight division
- Watching your mouth in the corner
- Knockouts
- Assorted casual racism
- How does Kevin Holland keep ending up thwarting crimes? Does he walk around with a police scanner?
- The Four (actually 3) Cageside Judges of the Apocalypse

...and more! 

Wow, we got around to doing another one. 
If you're one of the 3 people that actually notice we uploaded this in this episode we discuss:
-How it's always a  shitty time watching people you know get beat up
-Angela commentating Cage Warriors in San Diego
-UFC 275
-The Gene Lebell School of Judging Fights
-Plus assorted Elder Scrolls references.
