Hey fight aficionados! Charleston Payne here, with Jude Starnes riding shotgun, as we celebrate the eve of my 21st birthday with a podcast packed with punches and punditry that'll shake up your MMA world. We're giving a nod to the unsung hero of our show—the improved accuracy of our transcriptions (Charles Dupain, we hardly knew ya) while decking out our studio with new MMA flair. Get ready for a blow-by-blow recount of Derrick Lewis's most recent win, and why fighters like Dustin Poirier deserve a victorious homecoming.
As we salute the unsung champions in our lives this Mother's Day, we're also locking horns over the nuances of building personal brands that hit as hard outside the ring as the fighters do within. Demetrious Johnson and Sean O'Malley are schooling us all in the art of media mastery, proving there's more to the fight game than the fight itself. On the flip side, we dissect the potential game-changer of live scorecards, diving headfirst into how it could transform the way we watch and experience fights.
Finally, we strap on the gloves for a tactical examination of the upcoming clash between Dustin Poirier and Islam Makhachev. Listen closely as I break down Poirier's lethal leftie stance and Islam's Achilles heel, setting the stage for what could be a monumental upset in the octagon. Plus, don't miss our sneak peek at a future segment where we rank the UFC's most formidable physiques—Joaquin Buckley's chiseled frame is just the beginning. Tune in and turn up 'Outside the Octagon' for the expertise, insights, and killer conversation you've been craving.
