We hope everyone had a happy 4th of July weekend! We got an episode full of fireworks! We start thing off with the performance by Sean Strickland with his TKO over Abus Magomedov. We talk about him wanting a shot at the title and if he has a chance to get that based off his UFC career and recent willingness to fight any and everyone.

It's was a weekend without fights, but that won't stop us from having a episode ready for our KOB faithful! With no fights to recap, we start the episode different than we usually do. This week we start off with the hot button topic of Aljamain Sterling and Dana White's back and forth in the media. We answer the question, is the UFC rushing Aljo to quickly in order to make a fight with him and Omalley. And is Aljo risking alot by taking this fight despite not being sure if he'll be healthy enough to perform to the level we've come accustom to. Sticking with the news we talk about some more Dana White and Francis comments, Jon Jones and Tyson Fury's back and forth, Bellator adding a fly weight division and more. After that we move into a nerdy but fun segment that we are calling UFC 500. In Indiana, where we are from and live, this weekend is all about the Indy 500 race. With that in mind, we created a segment where we took the UFC PPV numbers and chose main events from those fights that are memorable to us, only the sum of the PPVs had to equal 500! Lastly we give our picks/predictions for this weekends fight night card headlined by Kai Kara-France verse Amir Albazi. We also pick for 3 other fights as this card seems to be more loaded than it would seem on first glance. As the summer heats up, so will the content, so we appreciate everyone who has rocked with us through these lighter weeks, content wise.
