Welcome to the debut episode of the Wonder Twins Power Podcast with Iain Kidd and Stephie Haynes. This show is an offshoot of the Three Amigos Podcast that allows us to delve a little deeper into current MMA issues that warrant closer inspection and conversation.
Last week, news broke that the ONE Championship and the UFC would release Ben Askren and Demetrious Johnson from their respective contracts, enabling a “trade” of sorts. Iain Kidd and Stephie Haynes take a closer inspection of the deal and if the deal could impact MMA as a whole. Now that Kevin Kay is out at Paramount, there’s a possibility we might see Bellator exclusively on the DAZN streaming service. If that happens, would Bellator still be the Number 2 promotion or could ONE or Rizin fill that role?
The second topic revolves around Canadian UFC middleweight Elias Theodorou and his 18-month bid to obtain a USADA therapeutic use exemption for cannabis. We break down all the facts and science in this unique story for those that haven’t had the chance to investigate it on their own.
