Mookie & Crookie Show 161: Preview of upcoming UFC marquee fights

Bloody Elbow 2.0 | Anton Tabuena

Welcome to ‘The Mookie & Crookie Show’, a spinoff of ‘The Level Change Podcast’ that goes a little more in-depth on major combat sports news, as well as takes a humorous look at the crazy world of combat sports social media. The show is hosted by Mookie Alexander and Stephie Haynes and airs every Tuesday. Here is a summary of the topics discussed or questions asked, complete with the timestamps for when each interview or special segment begins. As always, we hope you enjoy listening to the show as much as we enjoyed recording it.

*Note: Due to a settings mishap, the first three minutes of the show is going to be loud and distorted, but the error was caught fairly quickly and only affects the first three minutes or so of the show.
