Mike Heck (0:00)

All right, Mike Heck here from MMA Fighting, and my good friend Jed Meshew is here with me as well, because Jed, the day has finally arrived. It's app day, the all new SB Nation app. It's live now, it's live, Jed.

Jed Meshew (0:12)

It's alive. Yeah, man, I'm really excited. And it's awesome, man. Combat sports, like all sports, but combat sports fans especially, you guys are gonna have your voices heard like never before within SB Nation. MMA boxing, not me, but you, pro wrestling, Mike.

It's it is a community based app. It's all about community with the new SB Nation app.

Mike Heck (0:34)

It's so easy to use and it can keep, obviously, combat sports fans connected to their favorite teams and all of sports too across the board. So I can keep up with the Red Sox, the Celtics, the Patriots and the Bruins all on my phone. And it's so simple to use.

Jed Meshew (0:48)

Yeah, like you, you mentioned those teams, but there's so much more because I don't care about Boston sports, Mike, but I get to follow the NFL, all the other sports, F1, the various sports that I care about outside of combat sports.

And then there's the live experience because that's to me, that's one of the coolest things. You can chat with us during Fight Cards every Saturday, and you can chat with other people in the communities as big events are happening. So it's a really good time.

Mike Heck (1:15)

So, ladies and gentlemen, come fight with us over on the all new SB Nation app. Download it today. Download it right now. What are you waiting for? Download it.

Live from MMA Fighting Studios, this is Between the Links. And now your host, Mike Heck.

Mike Heck (1:41)

The iconic voice of Esther Lin welcomes you to a brand new edition of BTL. Happy Thursday to us all. We are back. Shout out to the Twitchters.

We're hearing that even though we had some things set up for Twitch, things weren't being broadcast to Twitch, but we fixed that yesterday. Now we are being broadcast back into the Twitcherverse. So we're live on YouTube, on Twitter, on Twitch. With all of you on this Thursday, lots to talk about the fallout of UFC Paris. MVP unemployed currently, but could MVP go to MVP? Got Noche UFC, we got Conor Benn, Ryan Garcia. UFC 332 has been revealed and people hate it.

All that and much more to talk about. And joining me to discuss all of these things or whatever it is you want to talk about on this Thursday, Mr. No Gray Area himself, the one and only, Jed Meshew from mmafighting.com. Jed, how we doing? We saw No Betts Bard back in our lives. Is that accurate?

Jed Meshew (2:43)

Yes, I did that. I'm off and I was off yesterday.

And that's been an issue of the last few weeks of scheduling of like, it's just me being lazy in a lot of ways. But like I get off on Wednesdays, I'm like, I'm not gonna record this. It's my day off. And I was like, you know what? This Noche card, while bad for a Noche card, and with the main event that's questionable, is still a pretty fun card, right? And I was like, and I got to get one down. Plus the return of the, it's easy to skip out on no bets, bards, and I'm not gonna climb because that's really the only thing I care about at this stage of my gambling life anymore. You know, I make the other bets, I have some fun, but like I, as far as my MMA betting is concerned, in my other sports betting, I care a lot more about various things, but the climb has consumed all my energy and it's back this week, Mike. So I know if it's bar dropped yesterday, go check that out on the MMA Fighting Podcast Network. Great website, great podcast network.

Check out our app as all great app. Great nation. It's not the MMA Fighting app, CSB Nation app. But go check that out. It's great app. And yeah, you know, thrive it, Mike.

Mike Heck (3:56)

Yes. The Patriots are not thriving last night. What a bummer.

I went to bed. I was like, Seattle sucks. I was like, yes, it was 10 Not that I was like, I got. I'm tired like they're going to win because Seattle has no offense and also like the Patriots just need to score three more points and they couldn't do it. So I should have stayed awake. That was bad.

Jed Meshew (4:19)

I would like to clarify because my friend, Graham, who you've met, who's also a Boston guy, we were on the said similar things last time. I was like, yeah, they suck because on the fifth play of the game, their quarterback went down and Drew Locke came in. Maybe give them a little bit of grace. The offense was being run by Drew Locke and not their starting quarterback. But yeah.
