I fucking love Jon Anik, such a real dude.
Jon is the man maan
Bisping and Anthony Smith were talking about both of them being nominated for analyst of the year and the A&F Pod beating them out for best MMA program when they miss an episode every other week. Consistency is key, y’all are always here with quality content. Doesn’t get better than the Ray Longo minute
Man I love Ray Longo. Dude has an absolute heart of gold
spend more time coaching damon pls
The dynamic and flow between each and every single one of you guys has consistently been a joy to watch. Thankful for this pod gents!
Thanks for the great episode 😊
Loved Jason’s description of Dom Cruz 🤣
Very cool to have Ragin Al on 👍🏻 I miss seeing him in the Octagon!
You’ve got my vote for the MMA awards 🥇
Jason anik in the building let’s go! His energy packs a punch
Best mma program!! Let’s go boys!!
Jason got all the looks in a radio family. Poor guy.
Love how ray talks about how the podcast just happens, and then his technical difficulties start happening.
Is there a world where Longo's wife gets interviewed on the pod? I'd love to hear her perspective on Ray's career, seeing it from the beginning and what it has grown into – plus some behind the scenes stories of Ray would be A1😂
The anik bros even laugh like each other lol
Congrats on the nomination boys! Been listening for years so I can confidently say it's long overdue
Jason: "There wasn't a moment where Font wasn't desparetly trying to get up" lmao what?? He made zero attempts to get up in five rounds. All he did is close his guard and accept bottom position. I don't understand how that sentence was just said out loud lol
Not only did Dennis fight on 3 day’s notice but he fought in front of a crowd! Extra kudos to him. Excited to see the rebound and like JA said hopefully it’s in front of a crowd at the MSG and not no damn Apex event! 👊
Al loving that intro beat as much as me lol
If the fight was taken on 4 days notice, why wouldn’t it just be a catch weight fight at 150? Why do they pick and choose like this
How can Tatiana’s strawweight cuts bring her to a title. Everything seems to suggest those weight cuts = injuries.
In order to remain injury free in her last fight she had to compete a weight class up. …and she was still bigger a weight class up.
It will be interesting to see if she can make the weight & get through the next fight w/out injury.
It’s sad because I believe her career would look sooo different if she fought closer to her natural weight.
best mma show
So serra Longo fighters are allowed to miss weight now? What a joke. Anik is a phony. Longo is a hypocrit. No wonder you don't get viewers. Why are you talking about a nobody half the show? Smart.
Always enjoy the show. Big Gun is a need here!
I love the intro and outro music would love to get that on my phone
Good to hear from Ragin’ Al! Always been a big fan of him and the the Strong Island crew.
I love it. I fucking love it
Never miss a show, either way the award goes to you all as far as I’m concerned!
The emo cut KILLA! Diego Lopes is him! Appreciate the shoutout Anik, love the show
The only podcast I can listen to that isn’t about bs drama. Love it
Big Gun, Bengals got a game this week 💪🏼 LFG
Fuuuuh the squeelers
What if Ray has an app that distorts video and audio just to fuck with everyone? We’re here thinking he’s just old but we’re getting played 😂
28:30 Anik types to tell Jason to turn down mic 28:59 Jason get message 29:06 Jason turns down mic 😂 classic anik
1:00:20 😂 Ray is so funny
Jesus H Christ. You guys have to fix these fuckers mics. I listen to the show every week but I had to turn this shit off. The sound issues are engaging
Best mma content hands down
Great show as always guys!!! Love all of your appreciation towards the fans as always👊
Congrats on the nomination, yall are hands down best mma content out there!
❤️ boys” longo “ all day
Rayyyy mada fkn Longooooo 🐉🤙 good luck at the awards guys!
Dam they cut out the rest of ray talking I really want to know what ray went on to say about the Nate & Jake fight
Seeing Jon try to keep his composure through the various audio issues they have had on the show has to be turned into some sort of compilation because that is absolute fucking gold lmao
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! 🤩
You guys are the best mma show. I'm burnt out with Luke Thomas's Morning Kombat show with that Make A Wish foundation co-host. He's annoying and very distracting.
How the Anik twins have opposing white walls makes a nice balance between the two. Very much twins.
Damn , if you don’t LOVE Ray Longo and the whole crew up there , just loving the people and being great people man – just super impressed with all of them and how much they care for one another and it shows when Ray talks about the fans “you can interrupt me when I’m eating..” these are the guys who people should look up to !!
Hall of Fame pod.
8:22 jon is the man👊🏻💪
Fuking love this pod man👊🏻💪
If Al said that Raymond was his biological father I would believe him 😂
Shout out Phumi Nkuta!
Someone get Ray a good pair of cans, he's not going to know what to get and that bullshit apple headphone setup has to go.
