  • UFC 194 McGregor vs. Aldo conference call audio

    UFC 194 is shaping up to be a pretty bad-ass event and the build toward the biggest week in UFC history has officially begun.

    On Wednesday, the four combatants on the show were on a media call to help promote the fight and while there weren’t any major fireworks, there were a couple great quotes. 

    Enjoy an hour with featherweight champion Jose Aldo, interim featherweight champion Conor McGregor, middleweight champion Chris Weidman and #1 contender Luke Rockhold talk about their fights, their challengers, their feelings, inside jokes, training, and more. 

    Of note, McGregor is claiming he will beat Aldo for the 145-pound title and then will move onto face the winner of the December lightweight title bout with champion Rafael dos Anjos vs. Donald Cerrone to become a two-division champion. There was also a little bit of tension between Weidman and Rockhold, a criminally underappreciated bout between two studs in their prime.

    Enjoy!

    It can be intimidating for a non-fan to buy gifts for a wrestling fan, so Karl’s wife sits down with him to talk about what she looks for, our thoughts on various wrestling related items available out there, Mattel action figures, wrestling video games, lucha libre masks, and thinking outside the box.

    We review the Mattel Four Horseman Hall of Fame action figure set, a lucha libre mask, talk a little bit about the WWE 2K16 video game, subscription services, plus some outside the box ideas for the wrestling fan and collector.

    It’s a unique show that I hope you and your significant other (or children or parents or whatever) can enjoy. Gather the kids around the speakers and enjoy!
