Walk Out Network's video: That 8-Bit Goatee The Living Death Show Ep 155 feat Rory Robinson

With Jay on vacation (though he joins us anyway, midway through the show) Ant and Ben are joined by Rory Robinson of Boardroom for a look back at , a look forward at , and everything in between. Rory was present for last weekend's Madison Square Garden blockbuster and shares some of his eyewitness observations, including the Nate Diaz-Dillon Danis altercation outside the venue. This episode is also so full of ridiculous sidetracks that we just mentioned some of them in the timestamps. Enjoy! 0:00 Welcome ---------- ANTHONY JOHNSON (1984-2022) ---------- 2:05 "Rumble," a two-time UFC title challenger and more recently, a Bellator signee, passed away after a lengthy battle which what is reported to have been non-Hodgkins lymphoma. The panel gives a few somber thoughts in memory of a complicated fighter and man. ---------- UFC 281 ---------- 12:20 UFC 281 featured a record number of first-round KOs, wild action up and down the card, and of course two titles changing hands: one in shocking fashion, one perhaps not so surprising. Was this the card of the year? Where does it rank among the best events you've seen? 15:27 Alex Pereira continued his career-long campaign of tormenting Israel Adesanya. So many questions: Was Adesanya's game plan flawed? Was he overconfident? Will we get an immediate rematch, and is that the best thing for the division? 27:34 Pereira is absolutely gigantic for the 185-pound division. Will that limit his longevity there? Is light heavyweight an option? (karate movie training montages; Aaron Hernandez) 31:03 The new UFC middleweight champ is a 7-1 fighter with some world-class skills—as well as some obvious holes in his game. How does he match up against the rest of the Top 10? ---------- QUICK HITS (SORT OF) ---------- 40:30 The UFC might be going to Nigeria next year. Bad timing? (Tachi Palace; Francis Ngannou) 47:15 The NYSAC scorecard goof at UFC 281 48:47 Frankie Edgar retired. Will it stick? (pizza; LaDainian Tomlinson; Power Slap League; Enter the Dragon) 51:33 Weili Zhang is a two-time UFC champ. Will she bring stability to the division, and is that even what we want? (fake Portuguese accents) 54:50 How will history remember Carla Esparza? The panel separates the UFC's female champions into three levels. (polio legs, love handles, bad tribal tats) 59:22 Did the UFC 281 performance bonuses go to the right people? (fighting in a Speedo, chest hair grooming) 1:04:58 Who had the best breakout performance: Renato Moicano, Ryan Spann, or Erin Blanchfield? Opinions differed; Duffy ranted on Moicano's big night. 1:10:48 Has Dominick Reyes had the fastest, hardest fall of any top-level fighter ever? At 32, can he salvage anything from the wreckage? (Johny Hendricks; James Vick; Brendan Schaub) ---------- I'M NOT SURPRISED, MISTER FALCONS ---------- 1:19:14 [Rory] Dillon Danis getting slapped by Nate Diaz, as told by a guy who was right there on the scene 1:24:09 [Jay] A big surprise for Josh Emmett and Yair Rodriguez 1:26:46 [Ben] Ottman Azaitar is how this episode got its name. (Alaia Walker, Carlos Boozer, Joe Budden, Minecraft) 1:30:36 [Ant] Floyd Mayweather Jr., still making the rounds, picking up those checks from dummies ----------- UFC VEGAS 65 ---------- 1:32:32 Derrick Lewis will try to stop the bleeding against the surging Sergey Spivak this Saturday at the UFC Apex. Will he get it done? 1:35:40 In a reversal of their usual roles, Jay rants on how bad this card is, with some statistical backup from Ben. 1:38:03 Between UFC Vegas 65, or the Invicta and One Championship offerings this weekend, are there any bouts in particular you're looking forward to? (spinning sh*t; beasting 25/8) ---------- THAT'S ALL, FOLKS! ---------- 1:42:02 As young Ms. Alaia makes her production debut, Ben is forced to close the show with Ant's usual tag line.
