MMA Junkie Radio #3033: UFC 248 recap, Ortega’s scuffle, Khabib-Ferguson, more

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

On Episode No. 3,033 of the podcast, the fellas recap this past Saturday’s Bellator 248 in Las Vegas, particularly the two title fights.

THE RUNDOWN

  • We recap UFC 248, where Israel Adesanya beat Yoel Romero in the main event and Zhang Weili topped Joanna Jedrzejczyk in the co-feature.
  • The Weili-Jedrzejczyk fight was maybe the best women’s bout in history and a surefire future entry into the UFC Hall of Fame.
  • What should be next in the women’s strawweight division? We think a Zhang-Jedrzejczyk rematch might be in order.
  • The main event was a bit of a debacle. So who should get more blame for a lackluster title fight: champ Adesanya, or challenger Romero?
  • Brian Ortega allegedly had a physical confrontation with Chan Sung Jung’s manager at UFC 248. What’s the potential fallout?
  • This past Friday, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson got face to face at a UFC 249 on-sale press conference. Who got the better of the early war of words?
  • Emily Whitmire missed weight Friday, then pulled out of UFC 248 on Saturday. What will be the repercussions for her career?
