Welcome to IF I DID IT where we analyze and solve PR kerfuffles from the MMA world (insert hand gesture) not beyond.
Join your host, the indubitable Alexei Auld, author of “7 Secret Sources of Inspiration: A Snappy Guide for Creative Procrastinators”, and his guests, the great Kid Nate, Bloody Elbow General Manager and the creator of The Let it Roll Podcast, and of course rounding out the team we have the infamous Eugene S. Robinson, from ozy.com, the OZY CONFIDENTIAL PODCAST and author of “Fight, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ass-Kicking but Were Afraid You Would Get Your Ass Kicked for Asking”; Collectively, your MMA Puncholes.
This week The Puncholes feature…
- You’re the OOF-SEE. You weren’t willing to pay Brock Lesnar in your post-pay-per-view world. So how do you respond to an unnamed Conor Whisperer telling TMZ “He’s ready to fight now. He’s in training. Everything needs to line up correctly … opponent, place and of course, money”, live and in public, if you will? – 1:11 video, 1:27 audio
- You’re Daniel Cormier. After losing a Brock Lesnar pay day, why are you Jonesing….to end your career….receiving a Boney beatdown? – 5:53 video, 6:09 audio
- You’re a UFC figher. Do you think in the wake of the new ESPN disincentivized PPV model for fighters, there is matchmaking motivation for the fighters? 15:35 video, 15:48 audio

“We’ll be back next week with another installment of If I Did It and we don’t know what we’ll be talking about yet, because the PR mistakes have yet to be made.”
Welcome to another episode of IF THE SHOES FIT; a show where we solve salacious situations by stepping into the shoes of the shaken…the chagrined…the kerfuffed! Join along while Alexei, Eugene and Nate discuss PR issues in the non-MMA world…
