The Stand Up Guys – Episode #26 (11/2/25)
This week, Patrick and Edge open with a wild stretch of combat sports news — a brutal UFC eye-poke knockout, Floyd Schofield’s injury derailing yet another card, and the absurd announcement of Mayweather–Pacquiao II in 2025. They unpack Glory 99’s PED fallout, the ongoing Tank Davis fiasco, and the social-media circus around Jake Paul’s latest callouts. Later, they shift gears for an appreciation of kickboxing legend Dennis Alexio, a discussion on Top Rank’s viewing options, and full reviews of the latest ONE Friday Fights and boxing cards from around the globe.
