Brock Lesnar Retires. Derrick Lewis vs Greg Hardy and UFC - If I Did It
Welcome to IF I DID IT where we analyze and solve PR kerfuffles from the MMA world (insert hand gesture) not beyond. Where yet AGAIN, this week we discuss UFC on ESPN+ 9 Ft. Lauderdale ‘ Jacare vs Hermansson’ fallout.

Robinson, from ozy.com, the OZY CONFIDENTIAL PODCAST and author of “Fight, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ass-Kicking but Were Afraid You Would Get Your Ass Kicked for Asking”; Collectively, your MMA Puncholes.

“We’ll be back next week with another installment of If I Did It and we don’t know what we’ll be talking about yet, because the PR mistakes have yet to be made.”
Welcome to another episode of IF THE SHOES FIT; a show where we solve salacious situations by stepping into the shoes of the shaken...the chagrined...the kerfuffed! This week: Weaponizing fake claims and dissing Schumer. Join along while Alexei, Eugene and Nate discuss PR issues in the non-MMA world...
Now let’s get to stepping!
- Step into the shoes of Pete Buttigieg. Should you weaponize a sexual assault conspiracy intended to railroad your Presidential Campaign, live and in public, if you will? - 0:44 video, 21:31 audio
- Step into the shoes of the Stacey Abrams. You dissed Chuck Schumer by refusing to cash in your celebrity for a Senate seat, “I do not see the US Senate seat as the best role for me in this battle”. If knowing is only half the battle, what role are you considering? - 6:00 video, 26:47 audio
- REGULAR FEATURE: HEEL TURN - 14:40 video, 35:26 audio
- REGULAR FEATURE: MISTYAF - 17:44 video, 38:31 audio
