In this week's episode of the Three Amigos Podcast, we have gone off the beaten path due to our Scottish broadcast partner, Iain Kidd being in Vegas for Fight Week with George Lockhart and the Fitness VT team. We have two great guests in Number 8 ranked featherweight, Jeremy Stephens and Severe MMA's lead writer, Sean Sheehan. The show, from top to bottom, is under an hour.
Here is a summary of each interview segment, complete with time stamps for your convenience. As always, we hope you enjoy listening to the show as much as we enjoyed recording it.
UFC Number 8 featherweight contender, Jeremy "Little Heathen" Stephens (interview starts at the 01:20 mark of the audio), sits in with the Amigos to discuss:
-Previously training with Max Holloway
-If he feels Holloway's skillset has changed much since they last trained together
-If it's difficult for him fighting someone he thinks of as a friend
-Thoughts on the UFC's selective measures in financing weight management teams for fighters
-Who he thinks will win, Aldo or McGregor
-How much he retooled his training after the Oliveira fight
