UFC Vegas 18 takes place Saturday, February 6th with a main event between Alistair Overeem and Alexander Volkov in a heavyweight contest.

Other than that, this week is all about the Odds and Ends for the boys at the Sparring Partners Podcast. Nate Diaz says not so fast on a UFC lightweight title run.

Stephen A Smith yet again confirms he shouldn’t be covering MMA when, like a 2011 Dana White, stated that he doesn’t think women should be fighting in the UFC – or at all for that matter.

Also in the show, should Charles Oliveira be shamed for turning down a title eliminator against Michael Chandler on less than two-week’s notice? (Spoiler: NO)

All that and more in this week’s Sparring Partners MMA Podcast! Enjoy, and feel free to reach out to the show in the comments below!
