Conversations: Kiva Geiger

This episode picks up in the middle of chicken wings and pizza at The Rock in Tacoma, WA. Kiva and I go in depth on chicken wings, who has the best and why, our secret recipes and we review the wings we’re in the middle of consuming... then we talk about the upcoming UFC and you’ll get my LHW prediction. * I keep saying Anthony Pettis but what I mean is Anthony Smith. Just in case anyone wants to correct me. My apologies… I was drinking beer for cryin’ out loud.
