MMA Junkie Radio #2997: UFC 244 preview, Ben Askren, Bellator, Cat Zingano and more

Thursday’s edition of MMA Junkie Radio with hosts “Gorgeous” George and “Goze” is here!

On Episode 2,997 of the podcast, the guys look ahead to Saturday’s UFC 244 event, including Darren Till’s visa issues, Donald Trump’s planned appearance and more; and Bellator’s signing of Cat Zingano.

The rundown

  • We break down Saturday’s big UFC 244 event at Madison Square Garden in New York.
  • Donald Trump is planning to appear at UFC 244. Who’s tighter with him: UFC president Dana White, or UFC welterweight Colby Covington?
  • Darren Till had some apparent visa issues that will keep him from several media appearances ahead of UFC 244 – but won’t keep him from fighting.
  • Did the UFC get the better deal when it pulled off that odd trade that sent Demetrious Johnson to ONE Championship in exchange for Ben Askren?
  • Will we ever see a day when the UFC co-promotes an event with its No. 1 U.S.-based competition, Bellator?
  • Bellator signed former UFC title challenger Cat Zingano to bolster its women’s roster.
