Ethyn walks through his patient approach to breaking down Estevam and how discipline has been the foundation of his rapid rise.Between interviews, Jim and Matt react to the weekend’s action — including Renato Moicano’s second-round submission win over Chris Duncan in the main event at the Meta APEX.Finally, 11th-ranked welterweight Gilbert Burns returns to the podcast for the first time in nearly three years ahead of his April 18 main event against Mike Malott in Winnipeg. Burns reflects on his recent skid against elite competition, explains why his confidence hasn’t wavered, and unpacks how experience in five-round fights factors into his road matchup against his younger Canadian opponent.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
