As the sun sets on this podcast, Brian and Scott thought it best to go out talking about the intersection of G&P’s specialties — fights and gaming — by discussing ways they would like to see the EA Sports UFC game franchise improve in the future. 

And, at last, the hosts finally get to discuss at length two of their favorite gaming franchises: Batman Arkham from Rocksteady and the Spider-Man games from Insomniac. No so much a debate as it is a celebration of beloved games, Brian and Scott highlight what makes the worlds, stories and gameplay elements of these titles so special to them.

Plus, stick around to the end and permit your humble hosts some time to get a little sentimental about a fun year of shows for you on topics they love.

Saturday was Erin Blanchfield’s coming-out party with a monster victory over Jessica Andrade, vaulting the 23-year-old wunderkind into the UFC’s elite at 125 pounds. Since she sure looks like the future of women’s flyweight, Scott and Brian decided to put their heads together and sort out which names figure to create or grow their respective legacies in MMA over the next few years. Who’s got next at heavyweight? At lightweight? The G&P guys have thoughts.

But that’s just the fighting side. On the gaming end, Brian and Scott are feeling nostalgic and feel like talking about their favorite game franchises — both active and dormant — and why they’re so special or missed.

And you’ll want to stick around for the end as the hosts drop some big news about the show.

Football wasn’t the only one with a Super sports event this past weekend. Scott and Brian have a ton of thoughts in the wake of Islam Makhachev’s title defense that denied Alexander Volkanovski a second championship belt. They’ve got some thoughts on the upcoming UFC Apex card too … but they’re not nearly as glowing.

And while Brian is hush-hush on what he’s been playing on the gaming side, and Scott essentially didn’t game at all, the hosts dig into some of the biggest announcements from last week’s Nintendo Direct.
