It's time for another of our infamous and patented Care/Don't Care Previews with me, Kid Nate and co-host extraordinaire Eugene S. Robinson, author of Fight: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ass-Kicking but Were Afraid You'd Get Your Ass Kicked for Asking is here.
Topics addressed include:
- Joseph Duffy and being surprised at being the headliner....Eugene has a sexual metaphor to explain
- Eugene's charmingly naive surprise that his "free trial" of UFC Fight Pass somehow morphed into a permanent monthly bill for $10
- The intrigue of a fighter named Bubba Bush and holding George W. Bush's failed legacy against his relatives
- Nate's continued bitterness about Darren Elkins' decision win over Michihiro Omigawa (but I say Hatsu Hioki on the show) lo these many years ago
- Why we care about Cathal Pendred even though he's boring
- Eugene gets a phone call
- Nate predicts which fights Eugene will care about while we hear Eugene yelling at a delivery man on the phone
- The pluck of Neil Seery
- Stevie Ray vs Stevie Ray Vaughn vs Jimi Hendrix vs Billie Gibbons
- Reza Madadi's criminal record
- Stealing from stores vs stealing from people vs stealing from me
- Paddy Holohan and meta-memes on our shows
- Does Eugene even care about this main event?
- Much much more!

As always with the Care/Don't Care preview -- the caveat -- no disrespect is intended to the fighters. This isn't a commentary on the skill, heart or entertainment potential of any fighter, just a commentary on the UFC's marketing of said fighters and whether or not any anticipation has been built for the fight.
