Episode 135: Kevin Lee, Scott Askham and Top 5 Next Conors

For the most loaded week in MMA, we have the most loaded show we’ve had all year. To start, we’re breaking down the UFC 229 headliner in a couple of ways. Not only are “Gumby” and Dave bickering about who’ll take home the strap, but we’re also outsourcing our analytical work. “The Motown Phenom” takes us through what he thinks are the strengths of each fighter and what could go wrong. It’s a can’t miss break down. Then we go around MMA to talk about what is going on in the UFC. From “Suga” Sean O’Malley’s positive test to the UFC 230 headliner than has everybody talking (and not in a good way), we’re discussing it all. We follow up our Combat Countdown from last week, where we talked about the most Khabib like fighters in the UFC, with one about the next Conors. Who is brash enough and hits hard enough to make a statement in their division? Plus, we wrap up this week’s show by checking out the odds for this weekend’s card, and talking to former UFC middleweight and current KSW contender Scott Askham.
