This week's episode features one of the most personal stories in Phil's MMA career, the events behind Shine Fights' PPV event that didn't happen, "Worlds Collide." Scheduled to take place on the same night as "Strikeforce: Heavy Artillery," "Worlds Collide" was to feature a main event of MMA vet Din Thomas battling former world champion boxer Ricardo Mayorga in an intriguing MMA bout. However, Don King and a lot of cash changed the course of the event, and possibly MMA history.

Phil reconnects with Ron Foster, Shine Fights matchmaker, to break it all down. How could such a good thing go so wrong? We dive into it all...download and share!
