Keith and Ben are back to preview UFC Saudi Arabia, with detailed predictions and picks for all 12 fights. Even on a lean and mean preview—by Shillan and Duffy standards, at least—the guys found the time for conversational sidetracks into such subjects as the ongoing NFL playoffs, the anabolicly enhanced “Super Shredder” of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fame, the late lamented Harambe, using an ex-fighter’s head as a mini golf cup, and of course Bo Nickal.

First! So keen for the main event
Healthy Mike Davis beats anyone at 155.
If MMA had an organization like the PFWA with a Most Improved Player Award, I'm giving it to Ziam for 2022, 2023, and 2024 because hes leveled up massively from the Ziam that was getting ragdolled by McKinney and Luigi Vendrammini
Lucas Alexander is one of the most underrated strikers in the UFC last one wasn't a good look but that was 100% a fluke he wins 99/100 times
7:00 Keith you will APPRECIATE Patrick Mahomes's legacy in 10 years and you will realize this is complete blasphemy and he IS the GOAT not the Giant's SON Tom Brady just watch everyone hate the chiefs because in the last 5 YEARS they've dominated and people hate to appreciate dominance in sports until its over thats why people are talking about boycotting the Superbowl (you'll still be watching) its a forgone conclusion when you play the chiefs you're playing them AND the refs, a win is still a win to be the champ u gotta beat the champ like Josh Allen said in his postgame interview + guess what converting that 4th down tonight was equivalent to Jon Jones winning that 3rd round against Dominick Reyes yet Jon Jones is still the GOAT 🤔
Not a chiefs fan here.
Patrick Mahomes >> Tom Brady
Brady definitely rode the defense for the first 3 rings.
The Brothers Brothers
Please not Chiefs.
Please one more show from MVP.
Lean and mean one, thanks guys
The boys ☝️
I was hoping to be on the post fight for this but I'll be at the Newport vs Barrow game that day and not sure I'll be back in time. Fully expect GFL to sign me to fight Cory McKenna for all those jokes saying she's not really Welsh, haha. I'm also fully expecting Hamdy Abdelwahab to look like Goro from Mortal Kombat in his return.
Shamil in Saudi… The power of the gasbag slob shall prevail
Izzy is cooked
why are you hating on magomedov you are even stuttering cuz you can't find the words that show you as not hater btw shara was in the us just months ago making his hollywood film debut if you don't know now you know , and also the mall accident clearly the other guy hit shara first did you not see that two ? and anyway that was long time ago in dagestan russia so it's not your business at all judging people all over it's not your job man and what if he didn't fight in america majority off the audience watching from screens btw
If you think about it, Ziam vs Davis is the Damir vs Guram of our time.
man, I'm not a big fan of chiefs either, but that play that had the defender and receiver w/ the ball in the air but ending w/ a chiefs completion on the ground was correct. the ball was in the receiver's possession as the ball hit the ground. he had the ball at kind of a weird angle but he did have it. now the josh allen 4th down, that was ridiculous I agree. it seemed clear he converted that one. I guess it was close but I feel that type of play is usually ruled a 1st down.
Probably the only guys that can do a 2 hour stream and leave me wishing it was longer 🩷
Keith did you know that Super Shredder is played by Diesel/Kevin Nash.
Love the show gentlemen!
I ❤ 🇸🇦 🛢🛢🛢🛢
Back on sherdog
Davis is the only one with the ko threat, calling Ziam ko as the only threat there is rough… big recency biase with Ziam having a documented history of low powered technical point-fighting then sure beautiful ko against a known chinny fighter compared to a guy with an obvious power adv + a proven chin (Sadong, etc). Davis is the only ko threat here…
for the boys
I like Davis page and imavov
wu tang clan aint nothing to fuck with!
“Kaan Ofli got Harambe’d” 😂
