It’s time for another of our infamous and patented Care/Don’t Care Previews, with your talent: the astounding Eugene S. Robinson of ozy.com and author of “Fight: Everything You Wanted to Know About Ass-Kicking but Were Afraid You’d Get Your Ass Kicked for Asking” and host of the newly released OZY CONFIDENTIAL podcast, and co-host John S. Nash is back, the financials analyst of our Show Money Podcast, aka: the man who knows everything there is to know about the history of MMA. Eugene and John are joined by their astute moderator, Stephie Haynes of Bloody Elbow’s Level Change Podcast and the Mookie & Crookie Show.
The format of the show is to announce each fight as they go, commenting whether or not they care about it at all, as well as introducing an off-topic discussion point or two. This week’s topics are as follows:
- Bareknuckle FC discussion on promoter’s threats to take away half a fighter’s purse over a boring fight - 1:00
