To start things off, Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by welterweight veteran and friend of the show Kevin Lee ahead of his fight on Saturday’s UFC Vegas 76 card.
Fighting for the first time since the birth of his 6-month-old son, Kevin discusses the danger in taking a fight against a relatively unknown UFC newcomer like Rinat Fakhretdinov riding a 19-fight winning streak and how big it would be for him to get a win over the combat sambo specialist.
Then, innovative surfing legend Laird Hamilton joins the show, and the Hawaii native discusses the importance of breathing exercises and how it can benefit combat athletes in recovery.
Finally, the guys wrap up the episode with some predictions for Saturday’s middleweight main event between Sean Strickland and Abus Magomedov and Kevin Lee’s prelim fight against Rinat Fakhretdinov.

Where does Kevin Lee fit into all of this?
Is he even real?
Or is he just a figment of Tony Ferguson's imagination…?
kevin lee may be an average fighter, but his confidence are top notch, dude believes he can beat khabib and hes almost beat up charles back then
Lol and Kevin “converted to Islam” that shows u how bullshit that religion is😂😂😂 Jesus spilled his blood to give us a way to heaven. He is king
Wait till all the Muslims comment “haram brother that’s haram”you won’t receive your 72 virgins 😂😂😂
We throwing some money on Kevin or is rinat the lock 🔒
Laird Hamilton is a legend! 🔥
Why isnt every ep put on youtube. I was a first year listener but stop cause show just wasnt on a platform i use
That's nice and all but we still don't know where Kevin Lee fits into all of this… 🤔
The Prelim Phenom finally found out where he fits in. 🤣 Just accept that he was never going to be a UFC champ and still won't. Fans who think otherwise just aren't educated.
I feel like Kevin lee is my son now and as a mother i just want him to do good in sports to fit in with guys. 🖤 I will be rooting for him god bless his soul.
When I was a kid moving around America due to my father being in the military I have been everywhere. I will die in Dixie but I love the California beaches and guys like Laird. I grew up watching him from Alabama to Alaska. What an awesome life he has had🇺🇲
Never thought I'd see laird and Lee lol
Isn't it weird how Kevin is getting pushed even though his career wasn't that great? It's like everyone knew he had the talent but just couldn't get it together.
Waiting for the ufc76vegas
Old Carlos Sainz Jr?? 😮😮😮
Ufc..please bring zabit back..he is a complete fighter🔥🔥🔥🤙🙏😎
My brother Kevin Lee you have to fear only Allah Don't fear the human
I’ve liked Kevin lee through his wins and his losses. Even before he was in the top 10 🔥
I said I wanted to meet 2 fighters .. Jon Jones cause we’re from the same city, and Kevin Lee 💪🏽
Pray he has a amazing comeback!
Kevin, Back To The Prelims Lee!
rinat g-floyd'd him
I just came here to clown on Kevin Lee fans.
Kevin said he would remind us who he was, and he sure did.
But yeah, I’m so glad I found this podcast again, and im deff gonna start watching it again and start binging all of the older episodes o missed out on when I forgot the pod existed tbh lol.
And it’s nice to see Kevin again tbh, I always liked Kevin tbh and wish he could get his way back into the UFC, (unless he is back in the UFC and I just missed the news). Cause he wasn’t just one of my favorite fighters, he was a;ways entertaining, and a;so a guy who if he is as good as he was when he was on his streak leading up to the Tony fight, that I could see making his way up to a title fight, if he’s still on that same level as he was then.
This interview has made me like Kevin Lee more than i did in the past. I enjoyed him.
