Good to see you coach, greetings to the whole team too. 🦅🇲🇽

Great Show as usual, very interesting questions some I have been curious about for a while. Keep up the good work!

Another wonderful podcast! Thanks Gentlemen.

Great video as always ❤️🇺🇸

Javier Mendez 💯 PFL roster unknown and now with Bellator elite roster will promote mega fights. They won't cut fighters either they fight in the Bellator series or PFL season. Paramount that owns Bellator has shares with PFL and are "Minority" owners that is what Arial word it which means Paramount is more than a minority owner. PFL did not buy Bellator go watch Dann Davis in the MMA hour with Ariel Helwani. I believe PFL is leasing Bellator with the possibility of acquiring fighters for now.

Coach MMA fans ilove that 💯

Hello coach! Hello team! Usman, keep your head up.

It’s true they doesn’t want continued the bellator lw tournament anymore ...since pfl well known for tournament fights

You looking good Coach Mendez, keep the workout routine going.

Coach please address Usman doping accusations. I believe he had reasons to take prescription meds but the haters won't listen. Kindly shed some light on it.

PFL MMA is the future MMA Mark my words
