Great job, Felix. I knew nearly nothing about MMA. I had seen Gracie v. Severn I think. And I laughed my ass off at the SAFTA guy, but that was a long time ago. Very cool to get the whole story.

i want to hear about Chechnya, what makes Chechnyan MMA cool?

in my cold midwestern industrial town I still see people rocking affliction t shirts along with those gaudy embroidered jeans

I legit just looked to see if there was a buttplugdepot.com... There right now.

NOTE: Ahead of this week's premium episode, we are unlocking our first 2-part gaming episode, "The Pizza In The Gate."

It's time to play the game. Time to play the game. [Laughter] It's all about the game, and how you play it. All about control, and if you can take it. All about your debt, and if you can pay it. It's all about pain, and who's gonna make it.
