Anthony Guarascio Interview (1:58)
Kicking off this UFC 317 edition of TTP is our interview with Dana White Contender Series heavyweight, Anthony Guarascio. The CFFC heavyweight champion talks about the people that doubted him en route to the title and how he knew that was a good sign. He also discusses the huge gap of time where he was away from MMA. That time included being homeless and living in a parking garage. Then he digs into the history of how he got back into the sport and is now one step away from the highest level. All of that and, of course, he gives us a breakdown of the upcoming Contender Series fight.
Combat Countdown: Top 5 UFC Double Champ Runs (37:05)
With the UFC on an off week, the TTP crew was able to bring back our favorite segment (or at least tied for it) – the Combat Countdown. With Ilia Topuria grabbing his second title and being the tenth person to do so, we thought it would be a good time to dig through the weeds on it. Who had the greatest run of all of the fighters with two titles? It’s a hard debate, but we managed to get it down to just five and in order. For this segment, all odds via FanDuel Sportsbook.
Salvatore Liga Interview (45:35)
Closing out this edition of TTP is our interview with PFL Europe featherweight, Salvatore Liga. Liga discusses the long break in his resume as well and how it was hard for him to get fights. He even shares that there were more fights that fell through than even Tapology might have listed. Then he shares his thoughts on getting a crack at PFL Europe and breaking through. Finally, he breaks down his fight with fellow countryman, Gaetano Pirello at PFL Europe 2 this weekend.
