Zaslow Is Fired Up For Rousey/Carano + Mike Can't Get Into The Wire | Hour 2

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz dives into the highly anticipated Netflix debut of live MMA with a star-studded card headlined by the long-awaited Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano fight — a matchup that’s as much about spectacle as it is combat. The hosts debate whether the event’s theatrical presentation, including fighters in glamorous dresses and a 'backyard barbecue' vibe, elevates the sport or undermines it. While Tony is bullish on the fight’s entertainment value and the potential for Netflix to disrupt the UFC’s dominance, Mike remains skeptical, calling the card a 'sh*tshow' with questionable cardio and a lack of real stakes. The conversation pivots to broader themes: Jake Paul’s controversial boxing career, his possible career-ending damage, and the Paul brothers’ role in expanding opportunities for fighters outside the UFC. The hosts also express deep skepticism about Waymo’s autonomous vehicles after reports of cars circling Atlanta neighborhoods and ignoring traffic signals. Meanwhile, Mike admits he can’t get into acclaimed shows like The Wire and Euphoria, despite their cultural status, highlighting a generational and personal disconnect with prestige TV. The episode closes with nostalgic reflections on 90s pop culture, from MASH reruns to the enduring appeal of Hunt for Red October.
