Joaquin Buckley, comedian Preacher Lawson, predicting UFC Fight Night: Blanchfield vs. Fiorot
Listen now
Description
With just a few days until the UFC makes its return to Atlantic City for an exciting night of action, Jim Norton and Matt Serra use today’s show to predict some fights from the card and speak to welterweight Joaquin Buckley and comedian Preacher Lawson. With plenty of time until the first interview of the episode, Jim gives an update on the status of his white belt — and Matt hilariously accuses his co-host of “sandbagging” after hearing about Norton’s hesitance to a replacement piece of tape for the stripe on his belt that got ruined by the washing machine. The guys then take a peak at Saturday night’s UFC Fight Night: Blanchfield vs. Fiorot card, with Jim seeking to make up ground in the standings of their head-to-head prediction battle. Fresh off the release of his new special, “My Name Is Preacher”, Preacher Lawson subsequently hops on the show for a chat with Jim and Matt. While talking about his mixed martial arts background, he reflects on his amateur MMA debut and how that experience compares to going up on stage and performing in front of people as a comedian. Busy during a hectic fight week, Joaquin Buckley finally manages to hop on the show at the tail-end of the episode to discuss the reasoning behind his successful move from middleweight to welterweight. After revealing that he has plans to make a special callout after beating Vicente Luque in this Saturday night’s co-main event, Buckley puts Matt on the spot in the hopes of hearing what Matt’s prediction for the fight looks like.
