Welcome to IF I DID IT, where we analyze and solve PR kerfuffles from the MMA world (insert hand gesture) not beyond.

I’m your host Alexei Auld, author of “7 Secret Sources of Inspiration: A Snappy Guide for Creative Procrastinators”, and joining me are guests John S. Nash, stand-in extraordinaire and the man who knows everything there is to know about the history of MMA and Eugene S Robinson, from ozy.com and author of “Fight: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ass-Kicking but Were Afraid You’d Get Your Ass Kicked for Asking”, Collectively, MMA Puncholes.

You’re the UFC. With Moody’s attributing your record 2017 fiances to the Floyd Mayweather/Conor McGregor fight, live and in public, if you will, do you need Celebrity Boxing to make you MMA’s Bull of the Woods? - 0:37

You’re an MMA Fighter. Since a faked heart attack almost secured a win last weekend, what in-ring medical mischief must you make to get a competitive advantage in the Octagon? - 16:57

REGULAR FEATURE: LEGION OF DOOM - 23:39
