Nash of Bloody Elbow, the man who knows everything there is to know about the history of MMA, and Eugene S. Robinson, from ozy.com and author of “Fight: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ass-Kicking but Were Afraid You’d Get Your Ass Kicked for Asking”, Collectively, MMA Puncholes.

This week The Puncholes feature…

“We’ll be back next week with another installment of If I Did It; and we don’t know what we’ll be talking about yet because the PR mistakes have yet to be made.”

Welcome to another episode of If The Shoes Fit; a show where we solve salacious situations by stepping into the shoes of the shaken…the chagrined…the kerfuffed! This week: Last minute Beyoncé and Google walkouts. Join along while Alexei, Eugene and Nate discuss PR issues in the non-MMA world!

Now let’s get to stepping!

About the author

Alexei Auld

Nobody knows how or why Alexei Auld, a lawyer and bestselling author with zero experience in combat sports or journalism, ended up contributing to Bloody Elbow as the creator and chief kerfuffle wrangler of IF I DID IT. But he did. And somehow convinced Nate Wilcox, Eugene S. Robinson, and John Nash that it was a good idea. So much so, they joined him when he created IF THE SHOES FIT which doesn’t even handle MMA. Again, we don’t know why. But like Nate, Eugene, and John, we just can’t quit him or his shows. So here we are.
