The Trenches, Episode 1: Sherdog Live Chat

[JayPettryMMA]

​

Sherdog Main Page writers Ant Walker and Jason Burgos want to talk things over and answer your questions on a Live Video Chat series titled "The Trenches," starting today immediately after the Conor/Khabib press conference. The video broadcast should begin right after the presser ends, so it is slated to begin around 6PM ET. They also want your thoughts on a poll that will run during and after the press conference, with today's poll question asking who will win between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor.


Ant holds over 15 years of martial arts experience, training in multiple styles including Boxing, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, Kung Fu and Krav Maga, and also coached amateur MMA fighters. A former Sherdog Radio Network personality and current contributor to Sherdog.com, this self-described "gym rat" seeks to impart his knowledge and discuss all things MMA with his fellow community members.

A journalist and podcaster by trade, Jason has hosted multiple different MMA podcasts including "Cheap Seats" over the years, and has penned for several publications before landing at Sherdog.com. One of the Sherdog's talented photographers/videographers, Jason is attending the press conference today and will be able to provide unique insight into its atmosphere.


Some questions from this thread will be answered in the second portion of the live chat, and additional questions from this thread may be discussed on the video broadcast. The video will be available to watch after it concludes on the Official Sherdog Youtube channel.


Please be respectful. We appreciate it.

Well, someone at that press conference appeared emotional, unstable, insecure and over compensating, and someone else seemed totally unphased.

Can you match these two on this side of the column with the other two?

It is Khabib time. Conor number one bullshit.

 

[Jackonfire]

Enough with Conor/Khabib.

Who wins the Pettis vs. Ferguson and Poirier vs. Diaz fights?

Hey Ant, you're on a roll, but if you want to take a breath and try to re-send me the invite, go for it! Otherwise I'll just enjoy from my seat here.

What interests you in this weekend's UFC card in Sao Paulo, the one headlined by Santos and short notice Anders?

Nice work. Cool listening.

Thanks to everyone who submitted questions on this, the youtube channel and the "Ask Ant" thread. This was a trial run, and after we work these kinks out, it will be a well oiled machine. There will be more fanfare about these going forward, so don't worry if you didn't hear about this until now.

Thanks Front Page and Staff... Will have to check it out on the Sherdog YouTube page... Members feel free to do so as well.

UFC’s LHW division is weak. Do you think a Grand Prix would spark some life/hype back into this once premier division?

How important was Jose Aldos soccer base during his FW title run?
