Top Turtle Mma

This week was a big one for fight announcements, and Top Turtle might have one of the biggest guests when it comes to those announcements. This week the boys are joined by Dominick Reyes who is getting ready for his February title fight against Jon Jones. He talks about why he is the one to beat Jones, the prospect of a trilogy, and his admittedly weak social media game. That fight is already one of the most anticipated in all of 2020, so get hyped for it with this interview. Plus, the guys are filling the UFC void with the first ever “Toppy Awards”. Although the end of the year awards are not quite yet upon up, the “Toppy”s promise a mixture of laughter and ridiculousness as they pick such categories as “Phrases you never want to hear in 2020”. Plus, their might just be a guest appearance in it. Timestamps: 2:30 - Dominick Reyes Interview: Ready for Jon Jones 21:30 - 1st Ever Toppy Awards

There may be no UFC card this weekend, but the boys from Top Turtle MMA never sleep. This week they’re taking you down memory lane to talk about retro fight cards. Each host has selected a low key fight card that they think deserves more attention and has held up against the test of time. Be sure to head on over to their Twitter to vote on which one was better. Plus, ‘Gumby’ has a chat with Bellator prospect Christian Edwards fresh off of his viral knockout at Bellator 233. Edwards shares thoughts about his future with Bellator as well as how he wound up at Jackson-Wink MMA. Then Paddy Pimblett stops by before his bout with Joe Gianetti. He talks about how that matchup came around, and how he feels Gianetti might be an easier bout than originally planned for.
