This is an amazing podcast. I’m a fan of MMA but by no means an expert. More of a casual watcher. What I love about this format are the fight by fight behind the scenes personal stories and hilarious drama that surround the events these guys performed on. You can hold your side laughing one moment and your heart breaks for them in another. What a roller coaster ride. It’s a true documentary style history podcast with a cast of characters no movie studio could dream up of. Well done.
