EP 36: MMA News Podcast With UFC’s Jared “Flash” Gordon

Josh Stephens and Tim Thompson return to give you the latest mixed martial arts (MMA) headlines, events, and share his opinions on the hottest topics in the sport. As always with fun banter and hot topic debates. This week the guys talk with UFC Featherweight/Lightweight Jared “Flash” Gordon

The guys broke down the craziness that was UFC 216 and all the hot button topics that went along with it. Josh actually had to cut 36lbs in 12 hours in order to make it to the show. Two draws, a last minute replacement that leaves someone without a fight, and a top prospect goes down. All that plus all the latest news from around the sport.

After some debate the guys interviewed Jared “Flash” Gordon, who fights Hacran Dias on October 28th in Brazil. We talked everything from missing weight, getting the call to make his UFC debut, his past drug issues, and what his plan was when he got down to Brazil. Apparently Demian Maia is as awesome as he appears to be.
