It’s time for another one of our infamous and patented Care/Don’t Care Podcasts, with your talent: Eugene S. Robinson, John Nash and Stephie Haynes. This week we had to muddle through without the insightful contributions of John Nash, but he will be back for our next episode. The format of the show is to review the prior weeks’ picks & then to announce each fight on the upcoming card, quickly commenting on which fights are hot, and which fights are not. UFC Vegas 36 REACTIONS – 1:17 Overall, this now dwindled down 9-bout card saw two first round finishes, three KO/TKO’s, two submissions (including our main event), and four decisions. Rounding things out, bonuses for putting forth POTN efforts went to Paddy Pimblett and Tom Aspinall; FOTN honors went to Molly McCann & Ji Yeon Kim.
