After Saturday night’s UFC 214, the Co-Main Event Podcast is spent. Following the drama and the comedy, the triumph and the heartbreak, the entire MMA community should probably be cooling its heels somewhere on beach right now, toes in the sand,...

The Co-Main Event Podcast returns this week with a gargantuan show to handle an MMA news cycle that doth overfloweth with insane action. Ben and Chad convene to discuss Chris Weidman’s potentially career-saving victory over Kelvin Gastelum at last...
