Boicast 96: O'Malley vs Chito 2, Ngannou vs Joshua

First time boi. Jack Slack single handedly turned my endearing passion about martial arts into a creepy obsession. Now I hate it when my friends invite me to watch the fights because their talking breaks my concentration.

DP is one of the few southpaws in MMA that jabs in open and closed stance matchups.

“Honestly ya dong is pretty flaccid”-Slacky J

hey everyone

Giant Cuban Tae Kwon Do olympian's debut will be interesting.

The closing statement, re: Saudi heavyweight boxing, is one of the funniest things I’ve heard in ages 🙏

I too remembered Frevola BSD feeling much longer but I chalked it up to the intensity of the fight and watching it in a bar

TKO(splinter) the ghost of bellator is haunting the PFL

Thank you for that eulogy for talented sports journalism Slacky. Here in the States we are mourning the apparent demise of Sports Illustrated where the best journalists plied their trade for decades. But Authentic Brands who also owns Reebok says SI will live on as a brand sans journalists-the people who made the actual brand.

Thoughts on the new wave of mma youtube - MMA Guru, Lucastracy, MMA Che, Bedtime etc, as well as fighter youtube channels like Bisping, DJ, Moicano, Sandhagen... feels like that whatever you think of their content, these types of media are only going to grow in the coming years, and they do provide inherent value beyond rote interview questions or AI replaceable "news"

“Up against the wall when I come to power” 😂😂

Theres place for these people... against the wall😂

TIL, Ngannou and Joshua are fighting…?

Aljo didn't try for a takedown till the end of r1 but that's partially because Sean kept the range so well. That, more than the Yan fight, convinced me he's truly elite. Though the Yan fight showed top level skills also ofc, great showing

Holy shit an hour long podcast! Christmas came early

Nearly spaffed my pants when I saw this was >1 hour

Wasn’t “The night we fought Aldo” written by Shaun Al-Shatti? I could be wrong

DAZN if you're looking to consume that legal PFL Slacky.

The Frank Camacho of burning your mouth on lukewarm gazpacho

I feel you on the podcast thing, there was a stretch where the heavy hands guys wouldn't shut up about fighter's stupid beliefs. We get it they all probably have CTE.

I think the very first slack article I read was called "outstriking Frankie edgar" on headkick legend in like 2012 or something

A 1 hour boicast! You really do spoil us!

Never apologize for a long episode

Covid broke a lot of people's brains. I was recently at a poetry event where the organizer emptied a 50+ person room after talking about Covid concentration camps and DNA experimentation.

I look forward to watching Chito do nothing for 25 minutes.

Jack we love hearing you moan about the same stuff over and over lol

1 hour boicast? We eating good today
