Today’s episode builds off something the legend Sean Sheehan and I discussed during our latest State of the UFC show over on Severe MMA.
On that episode — which you should definitely go check out — we talked about the way the women’s flyweight division and men’s bantamweight divisions are currently constructed or constituted, with a clear set of established contenders, veteran names, and emerging talents coming up behind them, with the same holding true in the “Second 15” of the division as well.
In listening back to the episode and thinking about it more, I wanted to expand on the discussion today because it feels like — and please tell me if I’m wrong — that this is the best way to build these divisions for everyone involved: for the fans, for the fighters, and for the UFC.
Give it a listen and let me know what you think in the comments or on Twitter.
Now let me tell you about our sponsor…
ONE BONE is a brand I’ve fallen in love with over the last eight or nine months.
They’re a Montreal-based apparel company that designs gear specifically with bigger folks in mind, offering all kinds of amazing fits that are stylish and cool, while still fitting exceptionally well, thanks to their detailed sizing system and handy sizing guide.
I personally own a bunch of their stuff, including the Every Day Pants, a few different shirts and hoodies, and the Essential Bomber, which is absolutely dope. Just recently, I added the four-year anniversary Michael and the Geo Michael as well and even though it’s hot and sticky outside, I still feel cool and fresh every time I walk out of the house.
So I reached out to the fellas about sponsoring the show and hooking subscribers up, and they said, “HELL YEAH!” and so here we go:
Loyal listeners of the show and subscribers to this newsletter can head on over to their website — onebone.com — and enter the promo code ESK10 at checkout to save 10 percent on your order; simple as that.
The gear is awesome and I know you’re going to love it.
Go join the ONE BONE FAMILY!
