Welcome to If I Did It, the show where we grapple with PR kerfluffles from the world of combat sports. This week we look at the continuing fall out from Conor McGregor’s behavior before UFC 223. Join us after the show for our non MMA PR kerfuffes on If The Shoes Fit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvIz5mJFaSA
Welcome to IF I DID IT where we analyze and solve PR kerfuffles from the MMA world (insert hand gesture) not beyond.
Kid Nate of Bloody Elbow (who has a podcast about rock and roll history) and Eugene S. Robinson, from ozy.com and author of “Fight: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ass-Kicking but Were Afraid You’d Get Your Ass Kicked for Asking” join host Alexei Auld for another episode of If I Did It. Collectively, they make up the MMA Puncholes. Join them right after this show for If the Shoes Fit, where they go beyond the world of MMA.
You’re Conor McGregor. Your rampage injured fighters, caused property damage, and resulted in your arrest, live and in public, if you will. You were released on bail, but what PR moves do you need to take to bring your Burger King commercial back on tv? – 0:50
You’re Dana White. Last week, you called Conor McGregor’s bus attack “the most disgusting thing that has ever happened in the history of the company”. This week? “We talked, it’s good,” is it…and why? – 8:32
You’re the UFC. What lessons have you learned in wake your traumatic UFC 223 PR and matchmaking machinations last weekend? – 15:12
REGULAR FEATURE: KID NATE’S HEEL TURN – 21:17
