This week, Gumby and Shockwave are back at it with another of their famed combat countdowns to lead into the new year. In 4 of the last 5 years, a fighter has gone from unranked to in a title fight (2020 is an outlier). So they're making their picks and counting down the 5 most likely to do just that.
Plus, Gumby is hitting you with the interviews that you know and love. First, Jacob Kilburn stops by to discuss his debut and why it didn't really feel like a debut. Plus, he details the circumstances that brought him to ATT. And Gumby closes the show by chatting with Carlos Felipe, who has a theory that a fight with Andrei Arlovski is looming.

Then, Christian Aguilera joins Gumby to discuss his unique training situation and how he moves around to get the best training possible.
And while we don’t have “Fights, Dogs, and Parlays” for you this week, the guys didn’t want you going home with an empty stocking, so they are welcoming back the “Combat Countdown”! This week, the guys will countdown their top 3 fights that they want to see in 2021.

While UFC 246 is two weeks away, we still have two of the fighters throwing fisticuffs on that card chatting about their bouts. First, Grant Dawson stops by to not only talk about his fight with Chas Skelly, but also about the year he spent out of the cage. A false positive USADA test nearly derailed his career before it started, and he talks us through what that year was like. Then Ode Osbourne chats with “Gumby” about his bout with Brian Kelleher. It’s a huge matchup for a guy in his debut, but Osbourne, ever the smooth talker, tells us why he’s ready for it.
Plus, we bring back the Combat Countdown! For 4 years straight, an unranked fighters has risen to a title shot by the end of the calendar year: Cody Garbrandt, Volkan Oezdemir, Anthony Smith, and Weili Zhang.

This week was a big one for fight announcements, and Top Turtle might have one of the biggest guests when it comes to those announcements.
This week the boys are joined by Dominick Reyes who is getting ready for his February title fight against Jon Jones.

Plus, the guys are filling the UFC void with the first ever “Toppy Awards”. Although the end of the year awards are not quite yet upon up, the “Toppy”s promise a mixture of laughter and ridiculousness as they pick such categories as “Phrases you never want to hear in 2020”.
