Description
UFC 296 was a great card filled with big performances, so for the last time in 2023, let's get into it! We start things off with the main event, where Leon Edwards completely controlled the fight on the road to a decision victory over Colby Covington. We talk about how impressive Leon was despite the pre-fight comments made by Colby, and even his ability to grapple with him as well. With the big win, we then moved into who could be next for Edwards, with some big and exciting names to choose from. Among them are Belal Muhammad, Shavkat Rakhmonov, or even superfights with Islam. We then move into the co-main event, where champion Alexandre Pantoja defends his title against Brandon Royval. Pantoja came away with a hard-fought victory but showed a very good mix of skill and grit. Even prompting us to question who is going to be able to defeat him anytime soon. We finish up 296 with a full recap of the rest of the main card and mention some of the undercard. With that, we had to discuss Paddy Pimblett's win over Tony Ferguson, which weirdly left us with maybe more questions than answers. Because of this, we try to answer what should be next for Paddy, including if he's ready for a ranked opponent. Lastly, we cover the news, which includes some huge fight announcements for UFC 299, Jake Paul's win, and more. We just want to wish everyone happy holidays and thank everyone who's tuned in and supported our content. Like always, please be sure to like, comment, rate, and subscribe.
