It is criminal how little views this podcast gets

[@henrybostick5167]

100 percent agreed...

[@codymccartney9595]

💯

[@jessesmith8578]

Its just so much better as a podcast

[@KareemAbdul-jabberUFC]

It’s cuz it’s on a demonic gambling channel

[@zbell7003]

because they post on draftkings instead of their own channel

[@MrMMA1985]

Been watching this show for a while and man do I love this episode. 🎉 great stuff guys .

[@maxswelly5712]

SANKO smoking cigs behind the dumpster lmaoo. Imagine walking by n seeing LAURA FRIGGIN SANKO smokin cigs at 1am holy ish thats funny

[@Shootermcgavin56]

Bro i know you guys are not gonna believe this, but when you said Bobby Witt Jr, my eyes lit up! He and I used to play ball against other from coach pitch to high school. Let me just say, there is no one else that deserves what that guy does. Solid, nice, humble dude that just so happens to be the best on the field ANYWHERE he goes.

[@stonedcoldstunna]

lets go boys cant wait for june, got some bangers

[@KareemAbdul-jabberUFC]

Did anyone ever figure out what happened to the French fighter on 301 who weighed in at 143?

[@loveforthe90s]

Let’s get this next pod up

[@cKxTaLenTs]

Laura if you happen to see this, you’re definitely killing it! Everything will get better with reps as Kenny said, as far as the voice thing as well as synergy with everyone else on the broadcast. Have her on the pod more, she’s more than just eye candy!

[@cKxTaLenTs]

To add on, you wouldn’t be there if people didn’t want to hear what you have to say!

[@natebelcher6551]

I noticed Sanko more than ever in this last card. She’s really coming to her own. In my book she’s #3 pound for pound just under Rogan and Anik

[@codymerrow]

Very good!!!

[@tomgunn]

You're happy because you're insane Typical casual take

[@kylewade8704]

@@tomgunnur weird bro u just made ur account a week ago and already commented 7 times on this channel all negative

[@igorlanna5915]

Best MMA show there is! Keep up the good work.

[@SweetSancho93]

Great Content!! Keep up the fantastic work gentlemen & ladies!!

[@katiesmashes878]

Question; Can Brian & Kenny bet, on rounds? Over/under? Or just the winner? ( I know they can bet a parlay). Just wondering. Long time viewer, with long term memory loss issues 👍 Thanks. Would be ecstatic if answered!

[@cyrus_the_virus9272]

This podcast is all good vibes, love the content!!

[@merkog7444]

Rolled his eye… lmao

[@KareemAbdul-jabberUFC]

30-26 for buck was crazy card

[@Ufcderlict]

Also parody to the Longo min can the sanko second be a new staple in the show

[@groovehog1]

Petri gonna be punching the clown to that Sanko compliment on loop. Box that champ, Petri.

[@henrybostick5167]

Laura Sanko is straight Class personified. Humble, pretty, family mentionable, and extremely fight literate.... Phenomenal asset to the UFC..... Anick and Ken Flo are pretty good too.....

[@tomgunn]

People are only nice to her because shes pretty. Shes not all that different than cruz

[@tristanlyons2883]

Everybody loves ray.

[@michaelsparks6719]

Can somebody remind these guys that the reason that stipe jones hasnt happened is because jon not stipe

[@mr.cunningham8378]

Cody Merrow must be tripping with timestamps like those

[@codymerrow]

Haha yeah I did them before the live show aired and they are updated on the audio side. Have to go and copy/paste it into here. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@jerrywinchester6420]

Keep bringing Jason back on. The Anik brothers back and forth is a great element to the show. Another great pod boys!

[@BigRonBetsVegas]

I agree. Jay is a pisser.

[@tomgunn]

You are obviously joking They are Terrible together

[@gunnar4554]

Sanko is great. She inevitably has a lot of Shevchenko simps but in terms of what she brings to the table it's fantastic. I was open to being impressed or not liking her on the merits of her work on the mic & she's fantastic.

[@Fuego720]

In reference to the Ulberg fight, You can't win pretty if your opponent is fighting ugly

[@Redacted_zulu]

john is not a asshole, i say let it go more often 😂, this is your brother and good friends they def can take it and expect it, be you bro, you the man !!!!

[@codymccartney9595]

This is by far my favorite podcast to watch

[@bofeity]

Laura being impressed by Petrie’s voice under heavy vocal compression is hilarious 🤭

[@williamRE]

She's a gimmick. Fake af. Just weigh the makeup.

[@MMATakesPodcast]

Wait, my voice is under compression? That’s like accusing me of doing steroids. How. Dare. You.

[@Spooks95]

Ribovics didnt get a bonus cause he mentioned it in the cage lol

[@KareemAbdul-jabberUFC]

His KO of Andre Fialo was good?

[@drewdrewson1384]

Anik!! I don’t want to jinx you, but make sure you do some Achilles stretches. I’ve heard surgeons are buying 3rd homes off all of these new pickleball surgeries

[@ethanrodriguez9961]

Smoking cigarettes is crazy

[@KareemAbdul-jabberUFC]

Where’s Laura been?!

[@KareemAbdul-jabberUFC]

Kenflo a little upset his pick against Buckley lost

[@michaelsparks6719]

As small as buckley was compared to the other guy no wonder he was smart and did what he needed to do to beat a 205er that got down to 170 also mcgregor loses n he might need Buckley calling him out

[@martincoyle8255]

Sanko is ace!

[@NoFaceChase]

The timestamps are very far off in this episode lmao

[@codymerrow]

I will fix haha

[@westucker6084]

Sanko gets me day dreaming!😍

[@tomgunn]

Day dreaming about another man's wife. Weird....but hey lonely people do some sad shit

[@westucker6084]

@@tomgunn lol lonely!!😂😂😂 Do you know who I am!😄

[@tomgunn]

@@westucker6084 doesn't matter. You're still fantasizing about another's guy's chick. That's some buster shit

[@starseeddeluxe]

Conor does NOT exist. Why are people calling him out? That person pretending to be Conor is just going to retire after a quick loss to Chandler.

[@mr.cunningham8378]

Happy Birthday!

[@Ufcderlict]

Laura sanko worst critic is herself if she could let go of that and own the beast she is she would exceed expectations more than she already has

[@collinsmith8043]

Jason looking more like Jon everyday

[@InTheGranite617]

👊🏼☘️🇮🇪🇮🇹🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯

[@PlaydoughPlato]

Can’t be fading the Bs brotha even as gross as they’ve looked. One Bostonian in south Florida to another let me bet you 100 against a ticket to game 7 that we’re winning 6 at home Jon 🙏

[@GoldieXBL]

Anik, Sanko, Rogan. IDEAL commentary team.

[@michaelsparks6719]

Why does nobody talk about aspinall stipe thats the fight i want to see jon is moving around like chuck liddel now days he is cooked

[@kylewade8704]

Maybe because stipe already confirmed he’s only fighting jones and it’s his retirement fight?😂

[@charliec2966]

ARE THE ANIK BROS THE ISLAND BOYS OF MMA. FREDO ANIK JUST SCHILLS FOR BELAL EVERYTIME A MIC PUT INFRONT OF HIS FACE. LOSING LISTENERS W/ THAT.

[@tomgunn]

Exactly Extremely unethical Bullshit bias

[@mikeswallow2952]

I liked the Conor call out. I thought he knew he wouldn't get it, but wanted the attention. Calling for burns is a smart call out too.

[@kavinraj4689]

And now DC is salty

[@bingusman69]

I'm a dude I'll marry you Cody

[@KareemAbdul-jabberUFC]

Why does Jon act like a hardass with his brother? Ur like 5’7

[@BigRonBetsVegas]

There like a legit 5’9” bro. And combined they are about 315 Lbs. Formidable. Hahaha.

[@zackmill3812]

To much longo time

[@Pbd5069]

We’ve gotta keep Brian on the show but just for shooting the shit discussions, he needs to be moved off the picks/bets finally, it’s pathetic at this point

[@MMATakesPodcast]

All your comments are about me and the Main Event Challenge. You’re complimentary of me but want me off the betting part. You have expressed it numerous times but have never said why. Do you want a shot? I have my own show I can invite you on. See how you are on a microphone.

[@charliefountains7985]

First.

[@ilikefights4141]

Agree with Cody, Buckley sucks

[@KareemAbdul-jabberUFC]

Sanko used to be a 4 to me now she’s a 11

[@jessesmith8578]

I'm sure she's absolutely thrilled

[@a.s27]

idk what you guys were watching lewis looked terrible untill he got the KO it's the same meme fight he always has.

[@Shootermcgavin56]

He landed a couple inside trips and had good octagon control up against the cage in the clinch, worked up off the mat. They said he has “improved”, not like the next title contender, I just know you’re mouth breathing while reading this. Why waste your time on a comment that had zero credibility? Maybe you just don’t have the eye for fighting!

[@KareemAbdul-jabberUFC]

No way Laura smokes cigs????

[@KareemAbdul-jabberUFC]

Laura smokes cigs???????!!!!!
