It’s International Fight Week for the UFC and before he heads out to Las Vegas, Valor Fights President Tim Loy chats about what’s going on in the mixed martial arts community with his Valor Hour co-host Casey Oxendine and they are joined by special guest co-hosts Allan Poole and Mark Laws.

They get the show kicked off by talking about what’s going on in Las Vegas for International Fight Week and discuss the fights that will take place inside the T-Mobile Arena on Friday and Saturday night. Plus, they recap last week’s Fight Night at The Shed and Tim answers listener questions in the Q&A segment.
