On this week's Top Turtle MMA Podcast on FloCombat, we sit down with heavyweight Allen Crowder, who discusses all the hoopla surrounding his upcoming fight versus Greg Hardy at UFC on ESPN+ 1 in Brooklyn. 

He discusses the complicated nature of all the newfound publicity as he prepares to fight the controversial Hardy.

Then we take you around MMA. New Years was an exciting time for throw downs. The UFC had some GOAT moments, PFL gave away millions of dollars to six people and RIZIN gave $9 million away to just one (guess who it was!). 

Plus, we recap the year that was with our end-of-the-year awards. "Gumby" and "Shockwave" Dave only agree on one of the awards. 

Which will it be?
