Curtis Blaydes and Alexander Volkov definitely did their thing on Saturday night, but I think we can all agree that the fight that stole the show was undoubtedly Josh Emmett & Shane Burgos’s 3 round war in the night’s co-main event. Looking ahead, how can we not be absolutely stoked to see the lightweight clash between Dan Ho**er v Dustin Poirier? It’s another barn burner of a weekend so buckle up!

UFC 250 was beyond awesome. Amanda Nunes absolutely walked through Felicia Spencer over the course of 25 minutes and the uncontested p4p #1 remains uncontested. Cody Garbrandt sleeping Raphael Assuncao was frightening, but I’m very happy to see Cody back in the win column. I’m still surprised that Aljamain Sterling dominated Cory Sandhagen the way that he did but hey fair play to him. Lastly Sean O’ Malley just continues to excel, man. Up is the only way his trajectory is going!

7 days, 3 UFC events! What a time to be alive ladies and gentlemen. In this episode of ITP the boiz discuss the ever controversial fight that is Glover Teixeira v Anthony Smith. As you already know I think it was a travesty of a fight, but I’d like to hear your thoughts on it of course. We also analyze the heavyweight clash between Alistair Overeem vs Walt Harris! Harris was SO CLOSE to getting an incredible victory but it just wasn’t meant to be. I hope he comes back stronger!

Finally, we end the show with a game of MMA Overrated/Underrated – prepare to be triggered!

Thank you for watching!

Heads up – the audio got messed up on this episode. Will be fixed next episode!

When it’s all said and done, I really think that UFC 249 was nothing short of a massive success. Every single fight was entertaining and after everything that the world has gone through the last couple of weeks, I’m grateful that the card went down the way it did. Justin Gaethje vs Tony Ferguson was incredible and I respect both men so much for their performances. Henry Cejudo put a stamp on his win against Dominick Cruz with a fierce KO victory then surprised the world by retiring from MMA. Francis Ngannou is terrifying.

The Boiz also take a look at the 2 MAIN EVENTS this week in Anthony Smith v Glover Texeira & Walt Harris vs Alistair Overeem! Enjoy!

Looking back at it, UFC 207 was an extremely underrated card that saw a ton of movement in the 135lb divisions, both male and female: Amanda Nunes took off Ronda Rousey’s head and taught her a lesson in what real striking actually is, Cody Garbrandt stunned dominant champ Dominick Cruz to steal the title by a clear margin, and TJ Dillashaw put on a masterful performance against John Lineker! It really was a fantastic card.

We also make predictions for MAX HOLLOWAY v TONY FERGUSON –– let’s hope this fight can happen sooner rather than later!

TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 - INTRO
1:54 - FIGHT FLASHBACK - UFC 207
2:07 - FIGHT FLASHBACK - NUNES STEAMROLLS RONDA (“HEAD MOVEMENT!!”)

"FIGHTERS AREN'T ABLE TO TRAIN PROPERLY, Events Should be Cancelled" - Ray Longo | Off the Line #31

Very interesting to hear Coach Ray Longo's perspective on the matter. Getting a trainer's view on the situation is a pretty unique insight into the professional world of MMA and honestly I think I agree with what a lot of what he says, or at the very least I understand what he's saying.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
