KNUCKLE UP #308: The GLORIA PATTON Edition Wherein We Discuss UFC 200 + It Being a Wedding AND a Funeral!

Literary gunslinger Eugene S. Robinson lends his "one"-of-a-"kind" "perspective" to not only GLORIA PATTON, a doubter of the worth of KNUCKLE UP, but the finer points of the definitely going to make it/possibly going to break it nature and heart of UFC 200. Who gets Major Tom'd? Who gets LB'd? Who could win by losing and alternatively who could lose by winning: we do the takedown to the breakdown and call a spade a spade in the only way we know how. Hurtfully. And with malice aforethought.

In Round #308 of KNUCKLE UP, show host and the world's angriest non-MMA Journalist of the year EUGENE S. ROBINSON [with the "S" standing for "Sleep, Go to Sleep"] carries the GLORIA PATTON thing WAY too far on his way to doing a SWOT analysis of UFC 200 what with it's great possibilities and its tremendous pitfalls, as well as what it all means and why it means it. If you're smart you'll get it. If you're not? Have someone explain it to you.

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

1] 7:01: I GOT A DECENT DINNER READY + YOU CRUCIFIED IT!

2] 8:52: SOMEONE REALLY WANTS TO GET THEIR BROWN BELT

3] 30:34: STILL WANT TO HELP OXBOW OUT? DO IT

4] 41:00: MMA JOURNALIST OF THE YEAR SIX TIMES IN A ROW?

5] 41:30:DEALERS ON THE TAKE

6] 41:35: I'LL TAKE YOU ON

7] 41: 37: LESNAR? A WORK?

Eugene S. Robinson host of Knuckle Up and author of Fight: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ass-Kicking but Were Afraid You'd Get Your Ass Kicked for Asking [Harper Collins], A LONG SLOW SCREW [Robotic Boot] and a play called THE INIMITABLE SOUNDS OF LOVE; A THREESOME IN FOUR ACTS [Southern] also sings for a band called OXBOW and appeared in Bill Cosby's Leonard Part 6 (and yes, a Cosby story is in the works), a Miller Genuine Draft commercial, and had his own TV show in Germany called? "The Eugene Robinson Show."

And $500,000 for executing a contract? Believe it.
