No podcast this week boys. My apologies thought I would have time today but it’s Trunk or Treat. Girls are outside their minds excited. Plays down below ⬇️⬇️
Leon Edwards' coach Dave Lovell says he prefers Gilbert Burns to Belal Muhammad for Edwards' next fight 👀

"I think Burns brings more to the table than Belal."
I have been a little quite these last few days. Sorry for the unanswered DM’s, not trying to be rude but my oldest sister died on Thursday.
She lived a tough life. But the past 8 years she has been clean and sober. She moved to Louisville and started her life over. I was very
@BWalkerSEC
I mean I’m all for giving Brandon Fucking Walker shit from time to time. But let’s not mention his kids. Tommy Walker is a legend. Fuck this guy.
The rare double social post from your boy. But, Evan Longoria is an absolute gent. Big MMA fan and huge

supporter. Got me and my family tickets to yesterdays game. Got to finally meet him and he gifted me a signed bat. Fake life stuff boys.

Pick EM’s will be uploaded later tonight. Had to grab dinner with my hero and the strongest person know, my beautiful Mother aka Stomped Cancer Ass Aka Badbass Barb. Skyline Chili for the W.
Just getting around to this.
@BenTheBaneDavis
is a fucking stud for stepping up. And I know it’s been said but leg locking a white belt? Oof. There are unwritten rules in sports and that’s one of them in my humble opinion. Either way, super cool to watch.
I see Ryan Clark is leaving the DC&RC show. I will humbly throw my hat in the ring and be

new co host.
Imagine how fun that would be?
@espn
your move.
The one thing I don’t think has been mentioned from the aftermath of UFC 287, was new UFC gloves and from what I remember, no eye pokes. That’s a huge step in the right direction.
I posted some negative comments the other day directed towards me on the Anik and Florian Apple Podcast page. Insults don’t hurt me but it did bother me that someone’s beef with me is trying to sabotage a show that people care about and work tremendously hard on.
I checked
Playing catch up on the

tweets. Private DM’s we’re leaked and some sexual preference stuff came out, is what I got from context.
I don’t care.
Ben is an incredibly talented dude with a creative approach to what he does. I am a fan. Always will be.
Boys, there might not be a pick ‘em from me this week. I know, huge card and hate to miss it. But my brave wife had surgery on Monday. We had to stay an extra day in the hospital because recovery wasn’t going as planned. She is home now, recovering well. But I also got two sick
I lost my hero this morning. He was a gold standard human being and taught me everything I know. Always pushed me to become a better man. Without him, I am nothing. Rest easy Grandpa, you will be greatly missed.
This is why I love MMA. What an incredible, high level main event. The stakes, the crowd, the technique. God damn I love this sport. High drama. Love it. Absolutely fucking love it.
I am blown away by Merab. His pace, cardio, toughness, IQ. He is relentless! He skunked Petr Yan. I am ashamed I picked Yan after that performance by Merab. I wish I was on the right side because that is a career changing performance.
No one wants to fight him…no one.

is on the other side of the world. Working a huge UFC event. Could rock any T shirt he wants and wears mine. What a fucking a G. Love this guy.

Recap pod coming tomorrow. Being a Dad for a bit. But thank you Nashville. Cool city. But Nashville hot chicken was like the Nashville UFC crowd, MID! 🤷🏼♂️
As a guy who loves gambling and hopefully one day turns this into a career. Let’s stop asking fighters if they’re locks. Or if we should bet on them. It’s corny as fuck. Why you even asking a question at a presser? Save that for the pros like John Morgan and AB.
What an absolute whirlwind year for me. I got the opportunity to be the resident capper on
@AnikFlorianPod
and since then, my following has grown by a 1000%. And that’s because of you guys! Thank you so much. Can’t describe how thankful I am. Bigger and better in 23’.
What a main event. So proud of Chris. I hope his legs okay. Unreal fight. Both dudes sent it.
I’m sure I’ll get chirped for my love for Chris and he lost but couldn’t be happier with how he fought. It was close.
Let me have it boys. That’s the game. 🫡
I want to wish a very Happy Birthday to

@bostonanik
today. My life is 1000 percent better now that I have their friendship in it. Truly great, one of a kind people. 🙌🏻
My youngest is sick. And at the ER I’m hugging her from behind while she gets examined and she says “ you’re the greatest daddy!” 😭😭
Fuck that was adorable. Real man tears.
Before my Bengals put me in a bad mood, I want to send a congrats to Ray Longo and his team. 4 champions out of his gym in Long Island. Will never be done again. What a coach. Better human being. Ray’s corner work last night had me ready to run through a brick fucking wall.
I’m still buzzing from that KO. I’m riding a high. Just put my entire DK balance on Welli. I’ve been hot and cold tonight. Shove the chips in the middle baby. It’s UFC 300!
Official Announcement: I have switched my pick to Moreno. I had a dream we were playing Lego’s. I can’t pick against him. No further comment at this time.
Heartbroken for my guy but knowing he is going to get paid makes it better. Slow start hurt him. Round 2 was close but that headbutt hurt. But Chris dug deep and won that third. He went for it. Left it all out there. Fuck that 30-27 judge though.
I’m not a fighter so I don’t know how it feels to dig deep in the 4th and 5th round. But if it’s anything like having to take a massive shit while driving 10 minutes away from your house. I’d be pretty fucking good. Your boy digs deep.
After a day on the couch watching fights, all day (losing money). I drove these bing bongs 45 minutes away for some Mom and Daughter photos (I wasn’t asked to be in them) but very adorable.
That was incredible. I need a 3rd(5th) fight now. I am buzzing right now. How am I suppose to go to sleep? That was insane. Greatest sports in the world.
Shocked DP took the Saint-Denis fight. They dropped a few bags off at his house I am assuming. Saint-Denis is a different dude. Going to be violent. Can’t wait.
Now this, this is a review! I remember sharing bad reviews where they love the show but hate me and then give it one star. Hate me but give it 5 stars like this person.
No pod this week. I appreciate all the well wishes for my little one. Means a lot. She is back to her adorable self. Here are complete picks with locks, slime ball and Green Hammer. Let’s have a night boys.
I took an absolutely beating last night. Couldn’t win a bet. Disgraceful. But guess what? I am balls deep into

I can not wait 🤑
Might not be able to get a Pick Em pod in for this weekends card. My little one is sick and glued to Dad. I will release full picks, locks, Green Hammer and Slimeball tomorrow.
