In 2005, the UFC was facing serious financial issues and complete potential bankruptcy. As a final Hail Mary to get new eyes on the sport, they threw their hat in the ring during the height of the reality show craze and made The Ultimate Fighter. A show that would pit two teams of young fighters against each other in hopes of winning a 6 figure contract with the UFC. The finale built up to what many call the fight that saved the promotion with Forest Griffin vs Stephan Bonner which remains one of the most intense and high energy fights in the promotions history. Not long after all the way across the ocean in Pride, Rampage Jackson and Wanderlei Silva duke it out for a second of 3 times across 2 different promotions in an absolute clinch fest. Both fights are free on youtube and well worth your time. You wanna get pumped? Then hang out with Tom and Marsh as they do their first episode without the coveted Josh, and join the conversation (parasocial) on About That Action: Squared Circle.

You thought the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles block is over? Guess again, bucko. On this episode of About That Action, the Action Jox sit down to discuss the third live action installment to the Ninja Turtles franchise. This film makes the bold (often bad) choice to take the turtles through time to feudal Japan, throwing them right in the middle of a war and a raw deal with some unsavory British folks and if you think I'm kidding, I'm not. Abandoning almost all the previously established Ninja Turtles mutant mania, we see the four rascals in a regular TURTLE out of water story. So do your stretches and gear up for battle with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3!

The nostalgia continues with the 1991 sequel to the cultural smash hit Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with Secret of the Ooze, where we find out more about the mysterious substance that created the turtles in the first place and how a nefarious villain wishes to harness it for his own gain. Despite the poor audio quality of the episode, the fellas from About That Action had a great time watching this much more light hearted take on a pop culture classic IP. So sit down, sharpen your swords, do your flips, and turn on About That Action as we continue the turtle block with TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze.
