KNUCKLE UP #339: The Jewels in UFC FN 78's Poop Parade, Ronda Death Watch + How Losing Wins

Literary gunslinger Eugene S. Robinson lends his "one"-of-a-"kind" "perspective" to a night of fights that hardly warrants it: UFC Fight Night 78. Now even though The Bald One would say, "these fights are not for YOU" having to sit through them will give you the inside line on all kinds of meditations to wit: the shining fights that earned their fighters a good Q Rating and, of course, the ones that don't/didn't. Which led to the RONDA rondele wherein we discuss failure, losing and the joys of well-placed hate, and how this has freed JONNY BONEY JONEY. Well, that and Nazis and apparently the incorrect action of drinking three martinis before the show even STARTED. Yup. Just one of those nights.

In Round #339 EUGENE S. ROBINSON [with the "S" standing for "Slammergasted"], KNUCKLE UP host and The Last Truly FREE Voice in MMA blames all of his present life's woes on UFC FN 78. Well that and Gypsies. But sheets to the wind he also covers RONDA, JONES and a recent text he got from MR. CONOR. Plus deviate sex practices and Nazis. Also known as: business as usual.

And for the listener ON THE GO? The KNUCKLE UP TIME LINE.

1] 7:01: WHO CAN WE INSULT FIRST/NEXT?

2] 8:52: NEIL? KELVIN? GOOD FIGHT BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS RIGHT?

3] 30:34: HEROIN

4] 41:00: DOES ADAM SANDLER NOT KNOW HE SUCKS?

5] 41:30: BAD VIBES, GOOD REASONS

6] 41:35: DOUBLE TEAMING HAPPENS FOR A REASON

7] 41: 37: CYBORG IS ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT
