This time we both highlight 15 fights each to check out that span across MMA, kickboxing, Muay Thai, Boxing and more. And it wouldn't be an DTP episode if we didn't have some random ramblings. Elsewhere we briefly talk Leon Edwards Vs Sean Brady, ONE 172, and we shout out U-God of Wu-Tang because why not. Thank you guys for still rocking with us after all these years. We hope you enjoy!

This is the audio version of a Youtube video I made. In the video I talked about how claiming that we're "too old" to enjoy a hobby that we love ultimately robs us of our happiness.

I just wanted to take some time to vent about the things I see in the content creation space of Youtube that I'm not a fan of. I'm sorry that this was kind of a ramble video but I felt like I had to speak on how I've truly been feeling for a while. I would also love to hear your thoughts in the comment section.
