Another road edition of The Craic saw Petesy pull a 19-hour shift, part of which he was joined by Donagh Corby as they embarked on a trip up north for Bellator Belfast.Petesy speaks to the legendary Dan Hardy, number one contender to Johnny Eblen's middleweight crown Fabian Edwards, Irish boxing royalty Mick Conlan and the Score's Nick Baldwin. He recaps all the thrills and spills from the event with his trusty D15 confidant Corby, including Corey Anderson's title capture after claiming victory over Belfast native, Karl Moore.

The stoppage in the main event of PFL Paris may have been the least interesting thing Petesy experienced on his trip to the City of Light. Petesy gives his take on the passion of the fan base, the (wild) enthusiasm of the media and explains why he feels MMA has gone mainstream in France in a way that it never did in the U.K. and Ireland. He also explains why Paris to PFL is on a much bigger scales than Bellator's celebrated Dublin shows. Obviously, the event finished in disappointing fashion with Marc Goddard waving off the main event in the third round after Cedric Doumbé gestured to his foot on two occasions. Petesy spoke to the legend, Dan Hardy, about the stoppage, about what's happening in Paris and so much more.
