  1. Do I believe that Conor said, "I'll fight Frankie, but it has to be for a NEW 165lb. belt." Sure why not. The reason being Dana has already said that he is not going to have a 165lb. belt AND Frankie is a 145lber. Yes he fought at 155lbs. years ago and held the belt there, but he was small for the division. So on short notice Conor expects the UFC to create a new weight division and let him fight for the title? LOL. First thing, Conor doesn't even defend the belt that he has do you think Dana would create a new division for Conor to hold another belt hostage? Secondly Conor knew that there's no way Frankie can make 165lbs. He may weigh that much sometimes , but he had already cut weight for the 145lb. belt. Come on.. We all know what Conor wants. –CONOR WANTS KHABIB IN RUSSIA… LOL

  2. Luke keeps mentioning each week how people talking about controversy surrounding individuals like Colby only gives them the reaction they want…and then he proceeds to talk endlessly about said controversy on shows that are listened to by tens of thousands.

    Besides, it's the media attention that people like Colby crave because that's where most people get their MMA news, that's how i learned about his comments, i'm not sitting on Twitter following Colby tweets. So it's more a case of, if people don't want to give Colby-types attention, well, tough, because the media will cover it and talk about it endlessly.

  3. I agree with Luke's Black Panther film review. I just told my friend the same thing yesterday that I was nearly like a direct Spin Story of Dark Knight Rises storyline. When it could have gone deeper with the villains story before the final fight but didn't. Sounds like 1hr 20 mins the movie time budget decision. When it should have been 2hrs to let the villains role play out more before the final scene.

  4. this episode was off. LT asking about colby covingtons comments then saying talking about it gives him credence… less pot guys, less pot..

  5. You know, when Danny 'You Know' Segura is, you know, on the show, I just can't decide, you know, which knife I wanna you know, slit my throat with. You know?
