Lol Those 2 might make the Finals of the Dirty Tournamentā€¦ Yvel would be in the Semisā€¦

Dirty Bob would also be an interesting episode and on the wish list to him get the Lytes Out treatment.

I didnā€™t laugh.

It pissed me off a little.

I like Rogan ā€“ but him going all-in in the Ronda hype was ridiculous.

ā€œOnce in everā€ lol

Didnā€™t he even get kind of choked up talking about her once?

I I wonder if he had a secret love crushā€¦

OUI ARE LIVE !!

Great ep!

I loved the word association with Gerard Gordeau lol

Mike: Dirty Bobā€¦
Gerard: Good Sportsman

Smoking a Cig in the rules meeting in front of everyone day before the fight was great.

I would loved to have seen that Gerard vs Branko fight he spoke of and it would be funny if there were 0 fouls total in it

But one question that I wished you would have askedā€¦ what was that Salute before entering the cage at UFC 1, was it savate or not lol?
