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 (1:12)

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 (1:34)

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 (1:48)

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 (2:15)

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.

All right, hello, everybody.

Welcome to the post show. Those are the Victory Horns. And I feel Victory Horns feel a little different right now. I can't lie to you. They do sound for Raul Rosas Jr. But what a scary ending to UFC Vegas 121 Raoni Barcelos and Raul Rosas Jr. are having themselves an absolute heater out there. They are just beating the brakes off of one another.

Raoni Barcelos pulling away, was up three rounds to one on all three of the judges scorecards. One judge scored it round four correctly, which was a 10-8 round. So it was 39, 37, 39, 37, 39, 36 Raul Rosas Jr. goes a little crazy, knows he needs a finish. And he goes for a takedown. It's a pretty basic takedown. And Raoni Barcelos is just out, can't move. Eyes are closed. No one knows what happened. And Raul Rosas Jr., to his credit, did not inflict any more punishment. And the fight was stopped. Raul Rosas celebrates his win. And Raoni Barcelos is stretchered out of the Meta APEX. No update yet. But once we hear it, we'll let you know about it. But welcome to the post-fight show. I am Mike Heck and joining me to react to a super weird night at the APEX is Mr. No Grayery himself, Jed Meshew. Jed, how you doing? Normally we're a little bit more jolly, but honestly, we're talking a little bit before we kick things off. Pretty scary way to end this event, was it not?

Jed Meshew (4:28)

Yeah, man.

You said it, but when the horns came on, I was like, man, those are a little happier than I probably feel right now. This is the most concerned I've been since Bryce Mitchell and Josh Emmett, people who watched our show then. I think we're live streaming that one. I was genuinely concerned about Bryce Mitchell's health. He ultimately ended up being okay. We like that, but we are all hoping for the best here.

I think we probably will end up doing some speculation, not anything too rampant, but natural for us to try and figure out what happened. Neither of us are medical professionals. I hope for the best. I have real concern that we just witnessed the first catastrophic incident in UFC history.
