But that doesn't stop this one from a slew of fresh takes, overviewing fights we are hotly anticipating, particularly UFC San Antonio, which our own Tucker Lutz will be fighting on that card. Tucker breaks down his thoughts on camp, the matchup, and his mental prep leading into his first bout of 2023. We chop up UFC 284 and make our locks for the week. Plenty of fun banter as always, and thank you all for listening. Enjoy the fights!
