This is the last one on the subject I swear!

This week on Coast-2-Coast Combat Hour Matt and I got to catch up on current news. We talked about Jake Paul’s win over Anderson Silva, ONE Championship coming to the U.S. in 2023, and of course, what I wrote about last week, Josh Thomson’s comments to the MMA media.

I pretty much went into detail on what I wrote about, but for some reason, as we enter November and both the UFC and PFL will be holding events in Madison Square Garden, I’m still not as excited as I should be. I don’t even want to cover the events on-site as media.

For the record, I still like the PFL and its format but this season just has not been like previous seasons and I haven’t been following it like I did when they began. It’s more to the ESPN+ broadcasted events, which just seem to be more UFC-centric, and the UFC hasn’t been fun for me lately.

You can hear my rant on this week’s podcast about that here:
