Walk Out Network's video: The Living Death Show Ep 143 feat Matt Hawkins: Damn San Diego

This week, Ant, Jay, and Ben are joined by special guest Matt Hawkins of the Coast 2 Coast Combat Hour, who happened to be in attendance at . The panel of course took advantage of Matt's firsthand account of Saturday's wild UFC event, discussing what's next for Marlon Vera, Dominick Cruz and others. They then turned their attention towards this weekend's upcoming and cards. 0:00 Welcome 3:19 Jay's Stat of the Week: GM3 fast approaches a magic number at middleweight ---------- UFC SAN DIEGO ---------- 4:04 Marlon Vera kicked Dominick Cruz's face off on Saturday. Where do you rank him at bantamweight now, and where does he fit in the UFC title logjam? Talk of Yan-O'Malley, Aldo-Merab, and Sterling-Dillashaw ensues. 11:13 Matt gives his eyewitness account of the atmosphere in San Diego, from Nate Landwehr's accent to Paddy Pimblett's surprising popularity. Matt also sounds off on whether Saturday's card was better than last weekend's all-finish slaughterhouse. 17:12 Dominick Cruz took the worst loss of his career Saturday, but he looked good for much of the fight. What did you think of his aggressive approach? Is he done as a top-level bantamweight, and if he wants to keep going, what should the UFC do with him next? 25:30 Which prospect impressed the most at UFC San Diego? Ant asks, and the panel ignores the assignment to praise a couple of veterans pushing 40 and a guy who lost and might well be cut. Nobody can tell us what to do on our own show. ---------- QUICK HITS ---------- You have 10 seconds (or less) to make your point! 33:25 Azamat Murzakanov's ceiling; Lipski's Octagon flop; Yamauchi KOs Gracie; Uriah Hall steps away 35:12 Uriah Hall announced his retirement this week. If he decides to fight again, will it be in the UFC? Discussion of BKFC, Karate Combat, and Bellator/Rizin ensues. 39:26 Rory MacDonald also announced his retirement (again) after PFL 8. Is he really done, and if so, how will you remember him? Let's define "legendary." --------- PFL PLAYOFFS 9 ---------- 44:35 PFL has its last set of semifinals this week: men's 145 and women's 155. Who's making the finals, and how interested are you? Ben makes jokes, while Jay makes one very bold upset pick. ---------- UFC 278 ---------- 50:34 Jose Aldo vs. Merab Dvalishvili: Who you got? There's disagreement! 55:50 Paulo Costa vs. Luke Rockhold: Who you got? There's no disagreement! 1:00:41 Kamaru Usman vs. Leon Edwards: Who you got?
