Summary

With a fight card to recap and plenty of short-notice fights to discuss, Jim and Matt are joined by bantamweight Miles Johns fresh off a victory and UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard. The guys begin by unpacking the action from this past Saturday’s UFC Fight Night: Perez vs. Taira before inviting Miles Johns on to hear what has helped fuel his four-fight unbeaten streak. After bonding over their shared roles as youth coaches, Matt and Miles discuss why they each love passing on their passion for martial arts to their own kids. Finally, Jim and Matt wrap up the show with a timely conversation with Mick Maynard regarding the matchmaking process for whirlwind weeks like the one we just had with various injury-related changes to fight cards.
