Imho one of the most interesting interviews ever on the show. You want to listen to a great dude with some of the best stories about our sport, motorsports, the history of Monster and even some UFC/Dana White stuff . Watch it, I found it to be very intriguing.

yeaaaaaa yal moto folks need to keep uncle Dana away far as possible , just the shit me & a lot other mma fans have to go through dealing with him on a weekly basis, if yal think SX & MX is already a circus, having Dana involved with moto would turn moto into something the core audience wouldn’t be ready for , in a bad way

That's all you have regarding the interview? That was just a tiny part of the overall conversation. Sheesh.

cause theirs things tht we kno about Dana as a mma community tht other ppl will not understand , nothing against u but u mention this & somebody from slowie_films comment section on his sc pride month post on ig tagged Dana saying Dana needs to save moto , im like I don’t think the vast majority of motocross fans even watch other sports , let alone mma to understand how bad Dana turned the ufc into boxing , with all the politics & the favoritism with title shots etc…. this ain’t the forum to go super deep with it but I don’t think ppl thts not involved or around mma 24/7 understand the way we feel about dana

I'm glad you are such an expert on Dana White. The point is that Mitch Covington is a hoot and has some great stories. That's the meat of 99 percent of the interview.

Great interview, never knew Tiger Woods is with Monster.

 A great listen. I feel like he only scratched the surface on stuff. He prob has many more stories to share. The triple crown story was an all timer.

For all the people who say there's too much Broooo,Jiu-jitsu etc. I have noticed a big decrease in that stuff over the past podcasts, so if You love moto, and think that most interviews are too PC and lack details,  GO WATCH or LISTEN.   

 

Its one of those that are so interesting that I'll listen multiple times. 

 

There is a story about sponsoring a horse, that  was wild! 

I don't want to give away anything that may not have already been posted about it. But its a good watch/listen if You love moto.

 

I know it may not be possible to do ( contracts being so secretive and NDS, etc.), but I would love to hear more stories of deals He helped put together that had a story to them. I hope they do a part 2.  A weekly Monster Mitch story would be cool. 15 or 20 minutes . Something like that with some more stories.
