KNUCKLE UP #300: UFC on FOX 21, Maia v. Condit, How to Avoid the Mists of Confusion + the Cleansing Power of Honest Appraisal

Literary gunslinger Eugene S. Robinson lends his "one"-of-a-"kind" "perspective" to UFC on FOX 21, CARLOS CONDIT's scathingly refreshing appraisal of his place in space, PVZ's refusal to go gently into the Northbutt, the sads of ANTHONY PETTIS and much, much more. Or less. Because it's a short show. Because: the host's birthday. And shit.

If you buy something from an SB Nation link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement.

IN Round #300, KNUCKLE UP host and anger mismanager EUGENE S. ROBINSON [with the "S" standing for "Stree"], comes not to bury CARLOS CONDIT but to praise him. And lay the blame on his present predicament on? The head of the fish. Plus Paige's smarts, Pettis' pathos and then beating a quick exit to celebrate his birthday: Nazis, filthy sex stories and bullying intimidations. But missing from this show? STREE OVERLORD.

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

1] 7:01: THEY SAY IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY

2] 8:52: BITTER + AT A BANQUET TABLE ALONE

3] 30:34: TOUCHY AS AN OLD SCHOOLMARM

4] 41:00: RE-FIGHTING WORLD WAR 2

5] 41:30: WHY NOT JOE ROGAINE?

6] 41:35: NORTHBUTTED

7] 41: 37: WHERE AM I?
