Episode 154: Max Griffin and Top 5 Aussie/Kiwi Up and Comers
On this week’s episode, “Gumby” and Dave discuss all of the fallout from UFC Fortaleza. From Jose Aldo’s refusal to go quietly into the night, to the rapid ascension of Johnny Walker - we’ve got it all. Plus, we’ll be talking with UFC Fortaleza’s Max Griffin about his fight with Thiago Alves. There aren’t many people who agreed with that decision and he shares a few extra who disagreed as well. What will all of it mean for his career and his wallet? Then we’re going with all things ‘Down Unda’ with UFC 234 from Melbourne. In addition to our usual fight card breakdown, we’re also heading to Australia (and New Zealand) for our Combat Countdown. This week’s countdown looks to the top 5 prospects from either of those two countries, and there are a lot of them fighting this weekend.
