KNUCKLE UP #288: UFC FNs 99 + 100 + a Thorough Exam of the Only Thing in the World That Gives Orders

Literary gunslinger Eugene S. Robinson lends his "one"-of-a-"kind" "perspective" to UFC Fight Nights 99 and 100, GEGARD, BADER, the other winners, quitters, retirees, and the magnificent march from Don't Care to Care that marked this pre-Thanksgiving double headed cavalcade of fight magic. And, oh yeah, if you were really interested the answer is very specifically Tony Montana's Balls. Believe it.

IN Round #288, the unrelentingly handsome man known as The World's Most Handsome Man and the high-propensity for street fighting host of KNUCKLE UP, EUGENE S. ROBINSON [with the "S" standing for "Sacrilege"] matches hip and thigh the UFC's exhaustive run of weekend MMA that spanned the globe telling uncomfortable truths all along the way. Not necessarily essential but necessary and essential if you have the slightest scintilla of interest as to where MMA is going in 2017. Be here.

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