Welcome to another episode of Scrap Talk. We apologize for our hiatus, but we are back and better than ever. Well, maybe not better but at least we had an awesome guest this week. On this episode you are treated to special guest, former UFC fighter/TUF Veteran/Gym Owner and AI Programmer "Chainsaw" Charles McCarthy. Unfortunately for you, it was only Law and Derek that joined him. Scotty's email went to his spam folder so he missed out (Insert sad face). Chainsaw talks about his MMA Career, his time in the UFC, and his stint on The Ultimate Fighter season 4. He also started an MMA Prediction website Cagemath.com.Cagemath is an AI fight prediction website which is very in depth and an exciting new way of looking at fights. You can become a member to the website and get all the in depth picks and odds for ALL of the upcoming fights, live chats and a forum to discuss it all. Be sure to sign up https://cagemath.com/a/scraptalkpod and you too can pick fights better than Law. Charles is much smarter than us, so you will just have to listen to the episode so he can better explain what the website is and you can also hear his take on what fighter he would pick to defend the earth against aliens.
