Summary

After what feels like an eternity of mediocrity, the UFC is finally back in a big way with UFC 290. As always, the UFC does it big on International Fight Week and so the No Bets Barred boys are here to do the same, breaking down all the fights for this weekend. Co-hosts Conner Burks and Jed Meshew kick the show off by talking about how excited they are for UFC 290, and even throw in a little conversation about Sean Strickland. Then it's right into 290 talk with Conner and Jed disagreeing on the top three fights! Lots of dissension in the ranks this week, but there's one thing everyone can agree on, Alexander Volkanovski, Yair Rodriguez, Brandon Moreno, and Alexandre Pantoja are going to put on one (Mike) Heck of a show on Saturday.

international fight week. We return to the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Nevada,

0:32.8

tomato, tomato, Jed, how we feeling? You know, we were talking about it just a moment

0:40.5

ago off aircon. I am excited! We finally have a good fight card in front of us. I

0:49.1

don't know if you get it as much as I do because I think I'm a much more negative

0:52.9

person, certainly in the public MMA space in New York honor. I've been cashing in the

0:57.4

teeth for a lot of this year because I've been down on the cards and I don't take back

1:03.0

a single thing I've said, by the way, these cards have been trashed by and large and it's
