MMA Junkie Radio #3031: UFC Norfolk recap, UFC flyweights, Amanda Nunes, more

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

On Episode No. 3,031 of the podcast, the guys look back at this past Saturday’s UFC on ESPN+ 27 event, including Deiveson Figueiredo’s weight miss, the status of the flyweight title, who should be next for Amanda Nunes at featherweight and all of the latest MMA news and notes.

THE RUNDOWN

• Deiveson Figueiredo missed weight for the vacant flyweight title fight against Joseph Benavidez, so couldn’t win the belt. Then he won by knockout. So what now?
• MMA manager Walid Ismail frequently is a translator for his fighters. Is that a problem?
• What’s next for the UFC’s flyweight division now that there’s no champion?
• Felicia Spencer and Megan Anderson picked up big stoppage wins at UFC Norfolk and both made cases to be next in line for women’s featherweight champ Amanda Nunes. Who should it be?
• The UFC’s main events in 2020 have so far been filled with controversy in one form or another.
• Alex Hernandez vs. Islam Makhachev is a matchup we definitely want to talk about.
