Crooklyn’s Corner 13: 5 Easy Questions with Eugene Robinson

Bloody Elbow 2.0 | Anton Tabuena

Welcome to Crooklyn’s Corner, the podcast that’s basically a hodgepodge of topics focused on the combat sports and entertainment community. The show will feature special interviews, fantasy matchmaking/analysis and whatever else we can come up with to keep our listeners steeped in fresh and engaging content. The show is hosted by Stephie Haynes and airs when needed to fill gaps in our Bloody Elbow Presents podcast network.

Here is a summary of the topics discussed or questions asked. Time stamps won’t always be available as our conversations tend to be very fluid and bounce back & forth frequently. However, when fantasy matchmaking and analysis is the focal point of an episode, we will definitely timestamp when each fight breakdown begins. As always, I hope you enjoy listening to the show as much as I enjoyed recording it.

EPISODE 13

1. Predict how UFC 264 main event goes

2. What jiu jitsu move works best in a street fight and why? (side bar: what one works worst?)

3. Which of the newer crop of fighters has the best grappling in the UFC right now?

4. We’re seeing lots of athletes paying more attention to their mental health. How stark a difference is that from when you started weightlifting and boxing?
