New Episode of "Unleashed" Panel Discussion is up (Best of 2019, and how about Rizin New Years?)

[JayPettryMMA]

This week, we had Sherdog OG Mike Sloan with us on the broadcast finally, and we dug into a whole lot from 2019 all the way through. To change things up a little, I took over the captain seat at the end, so that was a rush. We entered DK mode towards the end there too.

Rizin on New Years really gives me that pride feel. There was something special about the entire presentation.

"How is the mainstream sports media sleeping on Kayla Harrison?"

Yeah... how is the media sleeping on a B level athlete winning decisions over D level athletes. Nobody knows.
