On this episode of @champandthetramp, the guys talk UFC 318 fallout — Sean Brady dominating Buckley, the Strickland-Hazmat scale controversy, Ryan Cafaro's wild comeback in Japan, and the Van vs. Tesoro war that had Frankie second-guessing the stoppage. Frankie breaks down his upcoming wrestling match with Merab Dvalishvili, why he said yes, and how he's training different this camp. Then it gets unhinged — rapid fire questions, chimpanzee vs. Pereira, Biggie vs. Jon Jones, plastic in your fruit, and the hardest Roger ever got cracked at a bar. Real, raw, no filter.Chapters:00:00 Disclaimer00:13 Carnivor01:48 UFC 318 Recap03:28 Sabatini & Sean Brady Dominate Buckley05:09 Van vs. Tesoro War06:13 Ryan Cafaro's Japan Comeback08:12 Hazmat vs. Strickland Breakdown12:14 The Scale Controversy14:26 Was Brady's Fight Fixed?15:32 Frankie vs. Merab Wrestling Match18:21 Has Frankie Ever Ducked a Fight?20:22 Strickland's Trash Talk Game23:22 Masculinity in America Today24:28 Plastic in Your Fruit26:30 Buying Half a Cow & Hunting Talk30:31 Frankie's RAF Wrestling Prep31:08 When Does The Student Become The Teacher?33:21 Rapid Fire Questions35:31 Biggie vs. Jon Jones37:12 Vegan or No Sex For A Year39:11 Best Athletes Of All Time50:39 Loyalty in Sports vs. Country55:59 Roger Gets Cracked at the Surf ClubFollow us on social media:Instagram: https://instagram.com/champandthetrampTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@champandthetrampFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/champandthetrampDon't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more unfiltered conversations about combat sports, politics, and everything in between!
