Thursday’s edition of MMA Junkie Radio with hosts “Gorgeous” George and “Goze” is here!
On Episode 2,995 of the podcast, the guys react to the latest MMA news and notes, as well as look ahead to a packed weekend of action with Bellator 231, UFC on ESPN+ 20, and Bellator 232.
The rundown
Jon Jones apparently is stiff-arming the UFC light heavyweight division, but why’s he acting this way? Dominick Reyes is undefeated and has done enough to earn his title shot.
Does the politics between Conor McGregor and the UFC really just come down to money? Or is there more to it?
UFC 245 just got a whole lot more interesting with Jose Aldo making his bantamweight debut vs. Marlon Moraes, as well as Urijah Faber taking on 135-pound contender Petr Yan. The card is absolutely stacked now.
Is Greg Hardy crazy or smart for stepping in on 18 days’ notice to meet a big step up in competition at UFC Moscow against Alexander Volkov.
We didn’t see that coming between Tony Ferguson and Jones. Did Jones intentionally go too far with his “suicide” dig?
Scott Coker has shown his hand by saying Lorenz Larkin likely will get a Bellator welterweight title shot against the Rory MacDonald-Douglas Lima winner. What do we make of that?Last but not least, we preview the packed weekend of action with Bellator 231 (Frank Mir vs. Roy Nelson), UFC Singapore (Ben Askren vs. Demian Maia), and Bellator 232 (MacDonald vs. Lima).
