Shillan and Duffy: UFC Fight Night 212 Preview

Keith and Ben preview the seemingly cursed UFC Fight Night 212 ‘Grasso vs. Araujo,’ also known as UFC Vegas 62, and...OK, look people. It's bad enough that we lost the Neil Magny vs. Daniel Rodriguez fight, but Joanderson Brito vs. Melsik Baghdasaryan was one of the best matchups on this card, until Baghdasaryan had to withdraw. So then, Ben recorded a solo preview segment for Brito vs. A.J. Cunningham because Keith was already out of town for Canadian Thanksgiving, and like four hours later Cunningham was off the card too. Now it's Brito vs. Lucas Alexander and I'm sorry folks, you'll have to stumble through that one without the patented Shillan & Duffy treatment, or even just the Duffy treatment, because it was getting ridiculous.

Speaking of ridiculousness and the patented S&D treatment, Duffy did leave in a bit more of the between-fights chatter this time, partly because some of you seem to enjoy it, but mostly because this is the shortest preview show we've ever done; still under two hours even with extra BS. Hope you enjoy blast-from-the-past references including Houston Alexander, Erik Koch, Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou, Jon Olav Einemo—and of course, multiple Bo Nickal-related asides.
