NCAA Championships, Bo's new beef, and a possible look into how the UFC could change things up! This is one of the best podcasts we have put together in awhile and can't wait for y'all to listen. First the boys go over the NCAA Wrestling Championships from this past weekend. Obviously we know that Penn State came and blew every one out of the water including 4 guys winning individual national championships. Bo highlights some of the adversity that Carter Starochi faced while competing in the tournament with his injured knee. He also discusses his twitter battle with another well known wrestler Jordan Burroughs after Burroughs was making comments about attacking Carter's injured knee. Tony highlights how Tyler Kasak was able to take 3rd in the tournament after losing his very first match. The boys debate if that is harder than winning a national title in itself. Later, the team comments on the sheer dominance Penn State has had in the tournament in the past 20 years and making the argument that Cael Sanderson has created the greatest dynasty in all of sports. Moving on, the Ronan brings up the potential of the UFC becoming more team oriented. Tony talks about how they have done something like this in the past with The Ultimate Fighter. Bo brings up the point of how much more interesting it would be to have guys on teams and fans being able to cheer on individuals, but multiple guys on said hypothetical team. It would be very interesting to see a lot of new fighters working with one another if this were to occur and Bo talks about some guys he would love to have on his team. To round things out, the group breaks down the talk of MMA over the weekend and the bite that happened on Saturday night. How does that even happen?!?! The best part of it, the person that got bit not only got a tattoo, but $50,000 as well. Bo even talks about a couple times where he got bit in wrestling matches when he was younger.
