    The Money Episode with Renato Moicano, UFC Vegas 89 Picks, and Double Champ Rules

    EP. 477 — Check out our Anik & Florian Merch on jonanik.com 

    Anik & Florian kick things off with some interesting questions from the MMA space including “Should there be a minimum amount of title defenses to get a double champ opportunity?” 

    THEN, we got #13 ranked UFC Lightweight Renato “Money” Moicano joins the show (@moicanoUFC) to talk about how his upcoming fight came together, his team here in the US, and his time as a child watching Kenny Florian on TV hoping to someday fight in the same octagon.

    AFTER, Jon asks Kenny how much it would take for KenFlo to powerslap JA as we move swiftly into the Pronunciation of the Week with Brian Petrie.

    Then BUCKLE UP, because we’re hitting the shores of Atlantic City with all the gambling talk you crave ahead of #UFCAtlanticCity headlined by NJ’s own Erin Blanchfield and French-woman Manon Fiorot.

    And no episode would be complete ahead of a fight night without the world-famous PLACE YOUR BETS segment, powered by JonAnik.Com giving KenFlo & BP $1000 each to spend on the fights at the window.

Top notch show

LOVE Anik, Florian & Longo. Their genuine banter and intelligence makes for fun & informative content. However, PLEASE lose BP as a regular contributor. I skip over the parts featuring Brian Petrie because he tries too hard to be cool and sounds like he has mashed potatoes in his mouth when he speaks, not to mention his egregious mispronunciation of fighters' names. He sticks out in the worst way in this otherwise excellent podcast.
