Description
Our first fights of the year have happened, and they did not disappoint! We have a great episode for you all, so let's get to it. We start things off talking about the amazing performance by Magomed Ankalaev and his knockout of Johnny Walker. With the win and performance, we were also prompted to really consider his position at the top of the division and if he is next for a title shot! Especially if Jamahal Hill isn't ready to go by the summer. After that, we move into some of the other standout fights on the card, including Jim Miller's big win, Mario Bautista impressing, and more. From there, we move into our picks and predictions for this year's first PPV, UFC 297, headlined by Sean Strickland vs. Dricus Du Plesis. We also pick the co-main, with Bueno Silva fighting Pennington and Arnold Allen against Movsar Evolev. Lastly, we move into the news, which included a bunch of fight announcements, including some fights for UFC 300, UFC 299, and some other fight nights. With some of the backlash over the booking of UFC 300, we also talk about whether the UFC is lacking star power. Like always, please be sure to like, comment, rate, and subscribe.
