MMA Junkie Radio #3027: UFC on ESPN+ 25 reaction, BKFC 10 and more

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

On Episode No. 3,027 of the podcast, the fellas react to the latest MMA news and notes and look back at UFC on ESPN+ 25 this past Saturday in Rio Rancho, N.M.

THE RUNDOWN

• Was the UFC on ESPN+ 25 main event – a Jan Blachowicz knockout of Corey Anderson – the best-case scenario for the UFC?
• Does Blachowicz’s KO win make him the next challenger for light heavyweight champ Jon Jones?
• If it’s not Jones vs. Blachowicz, then a rematch with Dominick Reyes needs to be at Staples Center in Los Angeles – and a rematch with Thiago Santos should be in Brazil.
• We dive into all the great options going on at light heavyweight after Blachowicz’s upset win in the rematch.
• There are a few options for why Diego Sanchez decided against continuing in his co-main event against Michel Pereira after taking an illegal knee in the third round. Which is the most logical to us?
• BKFC 10 went down Saturday and perhaps showcased some new stars in Hector Lombard and Luis Palomino.
• Dustin Poirier’s grappling match against Garry Tonon is off. Why do we think that’s a good thing?
• Israel Adesanya’s coach wants to jump right over light heavyweight and go straight to heavyweight for a fight with Stipe Miocic if he takes care of his next few challenges at middleweight.
• Jared Cannonier now officially is out of the running for UFC 248 with a pectoral tear.
