Another of our infamous and patented Care/Don’t Care Previews with me, Kid Nate and co-host extraordinaire Eugene S. Robinson, author of Fight: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ass-Kicking but Were Afraid You’d Get Your Ass Kicked for Asking is here.

As always with the Care/Don’t Care preview — the caveat — no disrespect is intended to the fighters. This isn’t a commentary on the skill, heart or entertainment potential of any fighter, just a commentary on the UFC’s marketing of said fighters and whether or not any anticipation has been built for the fight.

Today Kid Nate and Eugene discuss:

  • A record number of don’t cares
  • Nate’s amazing new mustache….the Chester A. Arthur
  • Cuckolding your mountain climbing coach….not for the faint of heart
  • How to mispronounce Nguyen correctly
  • The magic of waiting for a fighter’s expiration date to suddenly pass
  • Oh hai Kyle Noke
  • Whether or not it’s cool to “not care” guys fights when you know the guys (sorry, not sorry Jake Matthews & James Vick!)
  • Ribaldry
  • Hitler mustaches…..I mean Charlie Chaplin mustaches and Nate’s genius movie idea that Eugene likes….as a Twilight Zone bit but not a full feature
  • The magic of disco in the 70’s
  • Card’s in Australia? Where’s Brian Ebersole?
  • The magic of Anthony Perosh and all guys who excel way beyond their abilities in the UFC
  • Mark Hunt and Stipe Miocic’s unworthyness
  • What constitutes a fluke KO
  • Handing a loaded gun to the guy who’s ex-girlfriend you’re in bed with….or a friend who did that
  • Much much more

Enjoy!
