Summary

Demetrious Johnson put Ali Bagautinov under his spell on Saturday at UFC 174, battering yet another top five flyweight into oblivion. Can the UFC’s 125-pound champion have a similarly dominating effect on fans? Ben and Chad discuss that topic on this week’s Co-Main Event Podcast, as well as Rory MacDonald literally putting Tyron Woodley’s back against the wall during their bout on the same card. Plus, the fast, sad end of Chael Sonnen’s fighting career gets some discussion as well. All that, plus AYFKM and Just Sayin’ Stuff. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

You're listening to the Co-Main Event Podcast, and now your hosts, Ben Folks and Chad Dennis.

0:17.3

That's right. You're listening to another episode of the co-main event mixed martial arts podcast.

0:24.0

I'm your co-host, Chad Dundas from BleacherReport.com, and joining us, as always, from USA Today and

0:30.5

MMAJunkey.com, it's your friend and mine, Ben, Fulks. Ben, uh, no UFC event this weekend.

0:39.3

Oh, thank God. What are you going to do, man?

0:43.5

I don't know. Do with yourself? You know, I think that, uh, I might try reading a book.

0:47.8

I've heard, it's been a while since I've done that. I've heard that that can be pleasurable.

1:12.2

Uh, who knows? Who knows what I'll do? Maybe I'll actually leave the house on a Saturday night for a change just to see what the outside world is like. For all I know, people do awesome stuff every single Saturday night, and I don't even get to see it. Yeah, that'd be weird to go out and find out what was going on out there. You know what book I've heard is really good is Matt Hughes autobiography. Oh, God. Don't, don't you start with me. No, you send it to me on the internet this week, on the email.

1:12.7

How did I?

1:14.0

I had never seen this before.

1:19.3

1:24.7

He did like a chapter by chapter summary of Matt Hughes's book on the U.G.

1:26.5

And it is amazing.

1:32.4

Warning to the listeners out there, your opinion of Matt Hughes will likely not improve as a result of reading Sean McCorkel's chapter-by-chapter summary.

1:36.0

Definitely the best thing Sean McCorkel has ever done.

1:38.5

And I feel like we need to give him his proppers for it because Sir Nigel Longstock

1:43.1

seems to like to make Sean McCorkel one of his whipping boys on Master Tweet Theater.

1:47.8

Yeah, he's been put on some sort of master tweet theater, no fly list, I think.

1:52.6

But this, I mean, this is deserving of recognition.

1:55.3

Even if it comes a few years too late, Sean McCorkel perhaps not appreciated in his own time.

and look for that.
