About this listen

This is Mike'd Up...a Fight Club Podcast with Michael Carter-Williams, Michael Bisping and friends. We're bringing together athletes from different disciplines to draw wisdom from the fight game. MCW is an established NBA pro, but studies MMA, follows the sport in depth and is a fan above. As Michael Bisping has proved throughout his hall of fame, fighting career, he walked the walk and will always talk the talk.

Beyond being a fan, when athletes come together to both share and seek knowledge from the experience, perspective and battle tests that they've been through. In their differences we find their similarities, and as we'll find out...there's always a story to tell.

    Episode 8 :: Knockout Artists and the Fantasy Fight Fad
    May 27 2021

    So of course we got to get into Fight Night. What we saw from the knockout artist, Cody Garbrandt is worth a closer look. Mike gets us into Cody’s style and where his head is at when he’s taking on an opponent. We also have the surprising (for some) retirement of Paul Felder, and why the Irish Dragon has nothing left to prove. Or does he?

    And then there’s the fad of fantasy fights between boxing and MMA worlds. So would we actually EVER see GSP take on Oscar De La Hoya? And do we really want to? Well we know it would take a lot of work to make it happen, and as Mike points out, a lot of effort for Oscar to get on GSP’s level. But we’ll see...

    Episode 7 :: Twitter Hacks and Clap Backs
    May 20 2021

    Coming off of UFC 262 we have to get into judging, how fights are officiated and holding them accountable. As Mike tells us, that’s what fighters value most. While we’re at it, Mike gets super technical on the art of the heel hook and how to effectively execute it. 

    And then there’s Katlyn Chookagian...yes, she had a solid win against Viviane Araujo, but we noticed her Twitter activity is more of a story.

    The real big news is what’s going on in the ring --  or not -- with Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder...and Anthony Joshua. There’s a lot going on there and Mike explains what Fury can do, and what would match up we should expect to see come together in the next couple months.

    Episode 6 :: The Best Pound-For-Pound Ever?
    May 13 2021

    Following a jam packed Fight Night, we catch up on the state of the UFC. Not only what went down between Magney and Khamzat, but also Gregor Gillepse and why his heart is going to take him wherever he wants to go in the sport.

    As for the fight game itself, all eyes were on Canelo Alvarez, and the dude did not disappoint. In the wake of the fight and the stoppage, the damage to Saunders eye was no joke. So we got to wondering...how great is Canelo against the pound-for-pound best ever?

    And speaking of the best ever, we have to make sense of what’s going on with Floyd and Jake Paul aka Gotcha Hat. Me and Mike know that would have never happened to us. So what exactly is Floyd...a GOAT...doing? And is this all by design?
