Walk Out Network's video: Bloody Truths and Pointless Pressers The Living Death Show Ep 166

Ant, Jay and Ben are back this week for a discussion of the top news stories in MMA. Is Bloody Elbow about to disappear? Was the UFC's "big announcement" on Friday the one that it really wanted to make? Is Fedor Emelianenko truly done with MMA after this week, as he claims? Is there much worth tuning in for at ? All this and much more on a red-hot edition of The Living Death Show. 0:00 Welcome 1:22 Jay's Stat of the Week: Two legit to quit? ---------- BLOODY ELBOW 2:44 Bloody Elbow's parent company, Vox Media, is withdrawing funding for the site. Is there a way forward for the outsider icon, and either way, what does this mean for MMA media in general? Rants ensue, and the discussion broadens to cover journalistic responsibility in general. How do you balance working in this space with integrity? ---------- THE UFC'S BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 30:17 Dana White held the presses for over half an hour on Friday to announce the UFC 287 lineup, including Alex Pereira vs. Israel Adesanya 2. Why the big to-do? Was that really what we all tuned in for? ---------- PEREIRA vs. ADESANYA 2 (or 4) 41:57 Was an immediate Pereira-Adesanya rematch the best move here? A discussion of the UFC's tendency to paint divisions into corners. ---------- CONOR McGREGOR ON TUF 49:40 Conor McGregor will be coaching The Ultimate Fighter, against a fighter to be named. Was this what Dana really wanted to announce on Friday? Does this add any interest to TUF, and does the opposing coach make a difference? 50:59 Ben forgets that Conor already coached the reality show once; at 54:26, Jay helpfully sets him straight. ---------- I'M NOT SURPRISED, MISTER FALCONS 1:00:21 [Ben] Askar Askarov, seeing to his health and wellness 1:03:02 [Jay] Todd Duffee, looking to derail the KSW heavyweight express 1:06:06 [Ant] Jose Aldo and Luke Rockhold, apparently retired only from kicking ---------- QUICK HITS 1:09:39 Fedor at the Forum; Johnny Eblen vs. Anatoly Tokov; upgrading Bellator on CBS 1:13:26 If Fedor wins on Saturday, do you believe he will stay retired from MMA? [Spoiler: we spend several minutes spitballing NYE opponents for him.]
