MMA Junkie Radio #3024: UFC 247 preview

Thursday’s edition of MMA Junkie Radio (even though it’s Friday) with hosts “Gorgeous” George and “Goze” is here!

On Episode No. 3,024 of the podcast, the fellas look ahead to UFC 247 and react to the latest news and notes in MMA.

THE RUNDOWN

UFC 247 goes down Saturday night and features two title fights at the top of the bill. Jon Jones defends his light heavyweight title against Dominick Reyes, while Valentina Shevchenko puts her flyweight title on the line against Katlyn Chookagian. Will we see a major upset in either of those fights? We preview the event going down in Houston.
Speaking of Jones, he joined ESPN’s “First Take” with Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman. While the former made waves recently with his opinion of Donald Cerrone, it was the latter who got a reaction from Jones with his line of questioning about his GOAT status. Did Jones handle it pretty well?
Darren Till isn’t ruling out a fight with Jared Cannonier next month at UFC 248, calling it a 50-50 chance. Would it be a good idea for him to push through and fight?
Colby Covington wants to box. 50 Cent. With one arm tied behind his back. What?
Decorated grappler Garry Tonon has shot his shot in asking for a ONE title shot. What do we think?
Gaston Bolanos, one of Bellator’s bright prospects, has his next fight booked. Some thoughts on that.
