All right, Mike Hec 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.

SPEAKER_1 (0:42)

It's alive.

Jed Meshew (0:43)

Yeah, man, I'm really excited. And it's awesome, man. Combat sports, like all sports, but combat sports fan 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 is a community-based app. It's all about community with the new SB Nation app.

Mike Hec (1:03)

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 (1:17)

Yeah, like 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 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 Hec (1:44)

Jed Meshew (2:01)

What is up, y'all? We are back for another edition of No Bets Barred. Apologize if my voice is a little weird today, slightly under the weather, but we have fights to talk about because this weekend, Noche UFC is upon us once again. It is that time. And not only is it that time, we get a little two for one. So let's get into it. Two for one special this weekend, because now that Zufa Boxing is in play, not only do we get Noche UFC, but we also get, I don't know if they're calling it anything, you know, special or fancy, but we get the Zufa Boxing card featuring Jaiopatai competing against Norah or Mikhail Jean. I'm sure I butchered that. And of course, the big one, Ryan Garcia taking on Connor Ben. I won't actually spend any time talking about those this week, but I believe the plan for the UFC and Zufa is that these events are both on Paramount and roll one right into the other. So you can wake up, Noche start time is a little earlier, fire that up, you watch all the fights, and then you switch over to the boxing so you can watch Ryan Garcia and Connor Ben settle their differences. So big weekend of fights. I mean, there's plenty of other action going on. There's Super Rising this week. There's one, there's a lot, but we are going to stick to the Noche card because that's all I got bets down on. Speaking of bets, let's recap where we are because where we are is quite bad. I was even like a month and a half ago and I have cashed almost no bets since, which is pretty tough. We are down 12 units at this point in time. Hopefully we can claw back a little bit of it, but I have gone functionally over the last three events. So that is an important preface to give out because if you wonderful people at home are so inclined, just bet the opposite of whatever I'm doing here. At this point, it might pay off for you.

Let's continue on to actually discuss the card because Noche UFC whatever, UFC Glendale, whatever the shit, I don't care.

Not a bad card, especially in the context of we are talking a lot about UFC 332 and its main event and all these things. Look at this. This is actually a pretty solid card. I still do think it's among the worst Noches and the main event is a bit of a disaster as far as promotionally.
