Nationwide is so much more than a great insurance company. They're one of America's largest financial services companies, just like I'm so much more than quarterback Peyton Manning. I'm also Peyton Manning. Insurance and financial services together, it's a masterpiece.

Peyton Manning does it again. For your insurance and financial needs, Nationwide is on your side.

You're listening to the Vox Media Podcast Network.

All right, Mike Hecke 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.

Alexander K. Lee (1:18)

It's alive.

Jed Meshew (1:19)

Yeah, man, I'm really excited and it's awesome, man. Combat Sports, like all sports, but Combat Sports fans especially. You guys are going to 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 Hecke (1:39)

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 (1:53)

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.

Jed Meshew (2:44)

Those are the Victory Horns, ladies and gentlemen. Victory is sounding from the horns, and that victory, it sounds for one. Jean Silva, I mean, it sounds for many other people, but primarily, it sounds for Jean Silva, who just defeated, and I mean, just defeated, Jose Miguel Delgado in the main event of Noche UFC, version 4 that went down from Glendale, Arizona just moments ago.

Hi, I'm Jed Meshew, mmafighting.com, prayer website. Thank you for joining us. I do say us because I am joined by the King in the North and a man who won't be joining us forever or certainly for very long. The man known to the people. As Alexander K. Lee, AK.

Look at you dancing to the horns.

Alexander K. Lee (3:34)

Can you see me? Can you guys see me? Oh, sorry. I'm going to. Yeah, I'm at a weird angle. Leave us. Yes, I'm not properly lit. Sorry, guys. I look very I look quite frightening right now. Almost Indy Navarrete in obsession like right now. And I'm saying that because I finally saw that movie. But yes, I do want to talk about Noche UFC. A lot of like, I think a lot to discuss here, a lot to discuss. So not a bad card at all. I'll say it again. I know I'm being a real like chill these days.

I think these UFC cards have been like consistently solid. I had a good time. Like I'm covering boxing right now. As you speak, I have boxing on the screen. You guys see me glancing upwards. I apologize. Very rude of me to give you guys my full attention.

But yeah, I thought Noche. I don't know if I would say it was good as Shanghai or Sacramento. But but again, I think if you watch top to bottom, pretty good day. Maybe I'm wrong. Guys, am I out to lunch? Does this card suck? I thought it was pretty good.

Jed Meshew (4:30)

The prelims were quite good. The main card got dragged down a little bit. And honestly, we probably I mean, could have seen it coming. I super invested in David Martinez, Danny Gait, but that fight was not as a David Martinez fight like they all David Martinez's fights look like that. You can appreciate the quality, but they're never the most exciting fights in the world. The heavyweight fight was a real stinker. We'll get to I'm sure. Maybe you and I won't, but we'll talk about it. The Grasso Menon fight was awesome. And then business picked back up, but the prelims carried a lot of momentum and Curtis Bladeswold, or Curtis Acosta really kind of depressed the mood that David Martinez started to tamp down anyway. But we ended, I'm going to say we ended on a high note, AK.
