Kamaru and Henry catch up after their weekend travel… where Kamaru linked up with his brother Justin Gaethje, and Henry’s daughter showed the world she can bounce back from a fall just as fast as her dad. Kamaru sets the record straight on the Khabib and Dana video and weighs in on the Shavkat Rakhmonov callout…PSA: the Nigerian Nightmare fears no one. The champs weigh in other recent news: the Masvidal and Diaz press conference got a little chippy, Ryan Garcia runs into trouble at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and public skepticism grows around the McGregor Chandler fight. Then we get into the Cannonier vs. Imavov Fight Night in Louisville, Kentucky. First up is early stoppages… was Cannonier robbed? Do judges need more oversight or an accountability system? Then, Reyes comes back with a vengeance and reminds Kamaru of someone else who plans on a return from a brief hiatus. Time to review Underdog picks…the guys batted 100% and confidence is on the rise heading into Saturday’s fights. We close out with some big anticipation for June 15th bouts between Frank Martin vs. Gervonta Davis and David Benavidez vs. Oleksandr Gvozdyk. Reminder if you haven’t watched the David Benavidez episode from last week, do yourself a favor and check it out ahead of Saturday’s feature fight with the Mexican Monster.

The if, when, and why this fight has to happen; why it’s yet to be made; and the general politics behind boxing on the world stage.

David tells us how he plans to keep his momentum moving forward, with or without Canelo.We hear about the tough love that made David into the champion he is today - not just from David, but also Henry who was in the gym with the Benavidez family at the very start. David shares the impact his father and brother have had on him as not just a fighter but as a man. And the guys get spiritual; David schools us on molecular patterns and living life as a good-hearted human being.And just when it can’t get any better - José Benavidez Sr. makes a surprise appearance on the pod. Reconnected with Henry, José reminisces about those early years in the gym, the sacrifices he knew he was choosing for his family to secure their successes in future life, and, right on theme, a personal message to Canelo.Thank you to UnderDog Fantasy for sponsoring the show.
