Remembering Kobe Bryant, Stephen A. Smith vs. Joe Rogan, and Bellator 238 and UFC Raleigh Recaps - a podcast by The Athletic

To start off the show, Shaun and Chuck share their thoughts on the tragic death of NBA legend Kobe Bryant and talk a bit about how they’ll remember him.
The guys get down to business, starting with a Bellator 238 recap, including Cris Cyborg’s vicious finish of Julia Budd to capture her fourth major promotional championship in a vintage performance, Aaron Pico’s KO of Daniel Carey, Sergio Pettis’s first stoppage victory since 2013 in his Bellator debut, and Darrion Caldwell’s quick submission of Adam Borics to advance in the Featherweight World Grand Prix, setting up a juicy matchup with AJ McKee in the next round.After that, the guys break down Curtis Blaydes’s nasty finish of Junior dos Santos in the main event of UFC Raleigh and discuss what the win means for Blaydes amidst a lot of uncertainty at the top of the Heavyweight division, Michael Chiesa’s solid win over RDA in the co-main, a potential Chiesa-Covington matchup, and undercard highlights including Angela Hill’s second straight finish, Arnold Allen improving to 7-0 inside the Octagon, and more.
Finally, the guys close the show with their thoughts on the continuing Stephen A. Smith-Joe Rogan feud that dominated headlines over the weekend.You can save 40% on an annual subscription to The Athletic, and get access to The Man and the MITH’s exclusive post-fight shows, when you visit http://theathletic.com/MATMLearn more about your ad choices.
