KNUCKLE UP #290: UFC FN 98, Bellator 163 + How to Watch a Grown Man Die.

Literary gunslinger Eugene S. Robinson lends his "one"-of-a-"kind" "perspective" to UFC Fight Night 98, the one fight on Bellator 163 he had been arsed to watch and which way the smart money is running when it starts to run. This and his never-ending chortling at having had such a successful night of fight picks. How successful? So successful that he spent a sizable portion of this show slapping Stann. Right off of Ferguson's nuts. Where he had been safely ensconced. Like a tick.

IN Round #290, KNUCKLE UP host and the world's most justifiably aggrieved EUGENE S. ROBINSON [with the "S" standing for "Sour"] digs deep into the sinews of UFC Fight Night 98 and? Well, after three relatively fightless weeks the new WME-helmed UFC comes roaring back with intimations of things to come, things to go, and some masterful "I Told You So" moments with EUGENE S. looking at an almost 100 percent pick rate. Which is how you say "eat it" to those that think they know a few things about a few things. And are named Nate.

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