five pound main event
An MMA podcast with a difference. News, reviews and previews, with guests from the world of Broadcasting and entertainment
UFC 260 is close and still Francis is the favourite over a man he's lost to already. We also have no betting company offering decent options beyond win loss, so Matthew's GUARANTEED win this week could be limited. Balls
The UFC continue to make us work hard for the money with cards lacking in name value, but rich in potential winnings!
With a very promising night of caged violence ahead, Matthew uses experience and logic to refresh the approach winning that sweet, sweet doll' dolla'.
Seeing as previous weeks bets have been informed by research and opinion, Evil or "Reverse" Matthew is the betting devils advocate. Meaning, for the fights he can make an alternative argument for, he's bet that way... so against his actual better judgement.
1 man. £10 worth of bets. 2 roads to victory... one glorious and the other bittersweet!
Is it just us, or do the UFC Main Cards feel a little top heavy? Join us as it becomes clear the name value is propping up this card. We also find some value in the bets though... so. Silver linings.
One man band- Looking back at the sadness I felt over, of all fighters, Mollie McCann... but looking forward to some great fights this weekend. Team mates, upstarts, and journey men. We love this sport, don't we??
We've got a sleeper card here. February is the Month of love... and I love seeing heavyweights with no hope of a title shot get into a cage and maul each other for money and glory. UFC fight night Overeem v Volkov will give us just that. Plus an undercard which promises sloppy carnage. Who could ask for more?
A quick look back on the madness ahead of 257 at the fighters hotel, the changes to the bets, and how my greed convinced me I, and Khalil Rountree, were robbed (which we weren't btw.)
MMA broadcaster and Comedian Bryan Lacey comes to the show fired up for the MASSIVE card we have ahead of us. Accusations of fence sitting aside, a fantastic conversation was had, and you're sure to be even more pumped for UFC 257 after this!!
Recapping quickly our "unlucky" bets from Saturdays card, Julian and I discuss all there is to enjoy ahead of Neil Magny vs Michael Chiesa on Fight Island. And Julian challenges a UFC Light Heavy to a fight. Real talk
Kicking off international fight week with a debut show and guest, comedian John Meagher. We have fight breakdowns, disagreements over predictions, and the reveal that we are both in line for niiiiiicccceee payouts... but more likely early let downs!
Ahead of a massive week of fights, we launch a new podcast with a fresh spin on previewing the best of MMA. Listen to the way it's going to work and get ready for what's to come!!
