  • The Heat-tastic Father's Day Review | Usman vs. Buckley
    Jun 17 2025

    In this episode of Bring the Pain, I reviewed last night's UFC Fight Night in Atlanta, which featured Usman vs. Buckley. I talked about how the card started out fast before going flat with decisive the rest of the night. The Five-tastic Picks slayed it once again, going 5-0 this week, raising our total to 60-11. However, this week felt very vanilla on the UFC side of things, so for the second part of this podcast, I went full-on IDP mode. With the recent release of my IDP rankings, I have since released my three defensive tiers articles, only on the Dr. Roto website. So, since that's behind the paywall, I decided to cover one player from each of those articles. That's when I go all-in and show you all why IDP at Dr. Roto isn't just a prescription. It's a way of life for your friendly neighborhood IDP hero. Have a great day, everyone, and may the points be with you.

    Jun 6 2025

    In this episode of Bring the Pain, Dan and I have been hard at work in the Fight Club of Pain after a horrible UFC Vegas 107 event that left a sour taste in everyone's mouth. We also decided to talk about the Pittsburgh Steelers signing Aaron Rodgers today and what it means for their future as we talk about playoff chances and so much more. In the end, we will give out two free DFS lineups for Draftkings and throughout the episode you will learn about fight theory, which prop bets to place, and burritos. Have a great day, everyone, and may the fights be with us.

  • The Heat-tastic Review | Blanchfield vs. Barber
    Jun 2 2025

    In this episode of Bring the Pain, I talked about last night's UFC Vegas 107, which featured Blanchfield vs. Barber in the main event. I talk about how the fight was canceled, just like another fight two weeks ago that left our DFS lineups shorthanded. So I give my thoughts on that subject while reminding us that sometimes these things can happen. After that, I talked about my upcoming IDP content that I'm in the process of finishing right now. In the end, I decided to look forward to UFC 316, which features two main events that could make up for this week's lackluster event. Have a great day, everyone, and may the fights be with you.

  • The Heat-tastic Review | The Erie Open
    May 28 2025

    In this episode of Bring the Pain, I decided to talk about my recent marital arts tournament and my furry coming content at Dr. Roto. I cover UFC, MLB, and NFL myself, but we have so much more content and other sports we cover that you might need two sticks to shake at our site. I started things off by talking about my MLB article from Sunday before easing into IDP talk. With many fantasy football drafts already going on, it's imperative that you have the best information available so that you can be our rich friend. After that, I talked about learning to be humble and how winning can sometimes turn you into a jerk. In the end, I hope that through these victories and learning moments, it makes us all better as people and better at fantasy sports. Have a great day, everyone, and may the fights be with you.

  • The Heat-tastic Review | Burns vs. Morales
    May 20 2025

    In this episode of Bring the Pain, I reviewed UFC's Vegas 106, which featured Burns vs. Morales as the main event. I talked about how my bets did and how my DFS lineups did after a fighter came down with a medical issue. Regardless, I used this opportunity to talk about why it's good to hedge yourself on both the sportsbooks and slates. During this episode, I also give a quick run down of my picks and how the Fight Club of Pain does overall as we approach another card next Saturday in Vegas. That means you'll have to stay tuned so that we can slay the competition together for Vegas 107, Blanchfield vs. Barber. Have a great day, everyone, and may the fights be with you.

  • The Fight Club of Pain Presents | UFC Vegas 106: Burns vs. Morales
    May 16 2025

    In this episode of Bring the Pain, Dan and I are fresh out of the Fight Club of Pain, ready to deliver more fight theory and bets. With last week being a double up week, we have dug deep for a few bets that we think should hit bigger than the under +1000 bets we hit last week. I have a few tricks up my sleeve as usual, while Dan gets ready to serve us soup by the buckets. That means you'll have to stay till the end if you want those bets and our DFS lineups that will all help us slay the slates. Have a great day, everyone, and may the fights be with us.

  • The Heat-tastic Review | Muhammad vs. Della Maddalena
    May 13 2025

    In this episode of Bring the Pain, I'm back to review my articles from the weekend and UFC's 315 event. With Muhammad vs. Della Maddalena in the books, we had some bad beats but also won on some other bets which helped us cash, in the end. What saved us was the Five-tastic Picks and doubling up on DFS. Unlike last week, in which we suggested the bets that had odds over +2300, we only hit some that were around +700. That isn't bad, but we like those big hits as well, so let's get back to it this week for UFC Fight Night in Vegas. Have a great day, everyone, and may the fights be with you.

  • The Heat-tastic Review: Sandhagen vs. Figueiredo
    May 6 2025

    In this episode of Bring the Pain, I reviewed my articles from the weekend as well as the Fight Club of Pain from Thursday. We had another monumental episode as we discussed fight theory and how it could lead to a few upsets. That's when Dan and I recommend hedging with a couple of bets that had odds over +2300. Now that's a bold pick, but that's nothing bolder than what we have been delivering in the Fight Club as well as the Five-tastic Picks. I also talk about all of my football shows changing since I'll be doing UFC coverage from now on. That means you'll have to listen to my podcasts to get all of my plays as opposed to last year, where I rolled both shows or within 24 hours. In the end, I reveal what sets us apart from other fight shows since Dan was a former boxer, and I'm currently one of the top point fighters in my age group, in the Tri-State area. After that, I finished up things by talking about the Battle of Pennsylvania karate tournament that my team and I went to this weekend. This episode is a little longer, but I had a lot to cover, so buckle up because I was jacked up for this one since it was my birthday when I recorded this. Have a great day, everyone, and may the fights be with you.
