Summary
Robbie was in Las Vegas this past weekend covering International Fight Week, the UFC Hall of Fame Red Carpet, and UFC 239, so he met up with some friends while in town! Megan Olivi and Joseph Benavidez break down the story of their relationship, discuss what it's like for Megan to watch Joe fight, what's next for Joey Two Times, and their passions outside of fighting! Afterwards, top UFC prospect Sean O'Malley and his coach Tim Welch join Robbie to elaborate a bit on why Sean was unable to compete at UFC 239, the Bantamweight's current status with USADA, what his day-to-day life is like now, and of course, the three do some HIGH-potheticals. Follow this week's guests on Twitter... -@MeganOlivi -@JoeJitsu -@SugaSeanMMA -@TimWelchMT ...and don't forget to check out @dapperscrappers on Instagram, and subscribe to the Timbo SugarShow Podcast on iTunes/wherever podcasts are listened to!!! NOTE FROM ROBBIE: Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was sorta stranded in Vegas without functional podcast equipment, so unfortunately the audio on these interviews isn't to the level I wish it was. We recorded both interviews with one boom mic, which...obviously isn't ideal. Luckily, both of these interviews were an absolute blast, and I feel EXTREMELY CONFIDENT in saying that the quality of conversation makes up for the quality of audio! In the words of my beloved Alanis Morisette, “You live, you learn”! I promise you, I'll do my best to make sure that never happens again!
