Inaugural WEC Middleweight Champion, TUF 1 alum, former UFC Middleweight, bare knuckle fighter, coach, referee, and Mike's former archnemesis, Chris Leben, Skypes in for today's show. He and Mike talk about how things have changed since the TUF 1 days, making Phil Baroni punch drunk in a bare knuckle fight, what the BKFC is looking for in up and coming fighters, how training for bare knuckle is different from MMA, the possibility of having one more fight, why Tyson vs Jones Jr. was a cash grab, why Jake Paul should be careful who he challenges, getting redemption after leaving the UFC, hoping Khabib comes back, Conor McGregor's luck of the Irish, and tons more!
