Kid Nate and Dallas Winston are back with another iteration of MMA Tete-A-Tete: Coarsening the Discourse. Every match up on Saturday’s epic UFC 162: Silva vs. Weidman lineup is previewed, scrutinized in detail and consummated with a prediction. For better or worse, we manage to stay fairly on topic and break our tradition of verbally engaging in some sort of limp-wristed slap-fight over superficial and irrelevant topics. Sorry/you’re welcome.
Remember to subscribe to the MMA Nation channel on YouTube, as well as to praise Chewbacca for his upgrade in attire, which seems to have gone unnoticed by the MMA community (he’s not just some unfeeling savage, you guys.) The complete UFC 162 card follows.
