Great show. Analysis is spot on and the banter back and forth between DC and Chael is next level. But Chael…..the way you get names wrong is terrible. Sar-kar-ian = Tsarukyan Piera = Pereira Mock-el-chev = Makhachev Chael. Do better.
More banter!!

Is Conor the good guy or the bad guy?

Dr. Dave’s MMA

Love you both but how is half of your content about Conor McGregor? Dude is irrelevant to the sport at this point and there are so many exciting active fighters to discuss. His last fight was against some old guy at a bar- can we move on already?
Disrespectful Chael

Chaelle Sonnine

The dynamic between DC and Chael is great which is why I started to listen. However I stopped listening because of how Chael constantly mispronounces fighters name from Alex Periera, Belal Muhammad, Islam Makachev and I’m sure there are others that I’m missing. If ESPN is supposed to be the gold standard of sports news and reporting, their supervisors should mention this to Chael. If they have and Chael does it anyway, DC and ESPN management are a bunch of cowards for not correcting him. These fighters deserve respect and have family pride. Put some respect on these names like Jon Anik!!! I gave 2 stars because I did enjoy listening but can’t stand when talking heads are disrespectful which is what Chael is. Other than the mispronunciations, it’s a good podcast
