Max Griffin Interview (2:05)
We kick off this week’s episode with an interview with UFC Columbus’ Max Griffin. He discusses his hybrid training camp split between a number of places and coaches. Plus, he talks about how the help of a mental coach has led to this 3-0 run right now. Then he gets into the excitement of finally being offered a ranked opponent – and not just a ranked opponent, but a top 10. He expects Neil Magny (if he’s smart) to try to out-wrestle him, but Griffin has put in the prep work to, he feels, get that biog stoppage. And he’s got some names on his tongue if that big finish comes.
Fights, Dogs, and Parlays: UFC Columbus (14:15)
The guys were red hot last week. UFC London was an absolute banger of an event – not just for action, but also for Gumby and Shockwave’s picks. Not only did they hit all three of their main card picks, but they cashed their underdog (Paul Craig) and their parlay (Molly McCann and Muhammad Mokaev). Now they look to ride that momentum into UFC Columbus this weekend – headlined by Chris Daukaus and Curtis Blaydes. Can they keep that magic going? There is really only one way to find out, and that’s listen and tail these picks. For this segment, odds via FanDuel Sportsbook.
David Onama Interview (22:55)
This interview was recorded just before David Onama’s opponent for UFC Columbus, Nate Landwehr, dropped out of the fight. While he may not still be fighting at the event this weekend, we didn’t want our fans to miss a chance to hear us catching up with the fast-rising prospect and his views on new stardom. We discuss him getting lots of media attention following his recent KO of Gabriel Benitez, including a shout out from NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III. We also get into his takeaways from his first short notice fight in the UFC.
