THE PFL SPECIAL!!! We had our first FIELD TRIP attending the PFL 2022 Championships Live in MSG!!! We had a great time and look forward to doing it again. Do you want to join us?

George previews a packed, but lackluster week in MMA while being pretty lackluster himself, while Anna figures out what is needed to become a MMA Referree!

Welcome back everyone! We're really excited to be adopting a new format in Season 8, where we both share a singular opinion about the world of Mixed Martial Arts in depth (but still under 20 mins).

That's a wrap on Season 7 and we bring it back to basics on the Holding Hands and Throwing Fists Podcast. We talk about MMA Fashion, MMA BOO BOOs and MMA GOOD GUY!!! See you next season.

Anna's back from the Hamptons! We talk how sad we were to see Dom Cruz lose, but how happy we were to see Chito win along with a whole bunch of other fun stuff. We can't wait for the PPV this weekend between Usman and Edwards, but not sure if we're going to be awake to justify paying it.

Anna's with her mom and brother in the Long Island and George is at home trying to solocast. Turns out not to be as cool as it sounds and hopefully next episode is going to be better!

Introducing the newest makeshift segment of the week - the Quick Fire Top 7! Anna's mom still hates the podcast, but likes fighting more and more. Matt Steam Rolla keeps getting cooler in our books! And George wrote notes 2 weeks in a row!

We're back from another vacation. George was a super Debby Downer at UFC Fight Night in Long Island, UFC Fight Night in London had awesome moments and we watched it while driving to Long Island and UFC 277 this weekend is looking pretty pretty good.
