July 9 - MMA commentator Robin Black

As we move into our second year, we continue to focus on getting better. Of course we've got the usual great content about iconic sports names like Wayne Rooney, Secretariat, Wimbledon, Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson. There's also lots of silly stuff about mascots being injured, double plays being turned with broken legs, a broken nose during team photos and the oldest All-Star in baseball history. The real game-changer, though is that this episode sees the three of us break into new territory: to commemorate the eight-year anniversary of UFC 200 in Vegas, we used this episode's DORK DRAFT to select our picks of the four greatest MMA fighters of all-time. The truth is that none of us is even remotely well-informed about mixed martial arts, so we invited peerless TSN MMA expert Robin Black on to the show to help take us to school. Robin is as knowledgeable about the current fight game (and its history) as anyone on this planet and is hilariously irreverent, so he was an absolute perfect fit. Our longest episode ever goes by in a heartbeat, because Robin is so smart, generous and funny, admonishing our ignorance A LOT. Listen along as we three 'pre-casuals' get humbled by someone who actually knows what they're talking about! Find us on YouTube (please like and follow) and on IG @thisdayinsports8.
