Rob and Dave chime in on the Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley fight, but dig deeper into how a once stone-cold killer like Woodley has become a shell of his former self. They speak about possible factors to the fall from grace many champions have after losing a title, particularly when it is in dramatic fashion - from social pressures, fear of severe bodily harm, and loss of motivation.
They also get into some higher level coaching tactics, the soundness of the karate blitz, the proper balance of the coach/athlete relationship, and that the "negative" emotions of fear and anger are actually good things.

Rob and Dave return after a homecooked lunch and talk about meat, as Rob struggles with the ethics of harvesting meat versus the deliciousness and nutrition of smoked bison. They then speak about the role luck plays in our lives, before moving on to loyalty, and the old match Rob and Dave had back in ADCC 2007.

Rob and Dave return from their travels once again and quickly figure out the meaning of life, before they put their focus onto more important things, like training. :)
They talk about the errors of unfocused shadow boxing, the importance of drilling and what role it plays, where injuries occur most frequently, and why you might feel the need to shadow box while watching a UFC.
