UFC 308: Topuria vs Holloway Recap
Ep. 228
•
The UFC had a massive double header at UFC 308 with the wins of Ilia Topuria and Khamzat Chimaev. Topuria continues to write his best 145er resume and Chimaev has a signature win. Additionally Magomed Ankalaev continues to be the possibly the best 205 in the World while still being someone few have any excitement to see fight for a title.
Let's unpack the fights.

UFC Vegas 100: Magny vs Prates Recap
26:29||Ep. 232We have officially come out the other side of the 100th Apex show and it was as good as it could be. We got some cool finishes for highlight reels.

UFC Vegas 100: Magny vs Prates Predictions
44:01||Ep. 231The Century Mark of Apex cards has arrived and the UFC certainly didn't push the quality for the occasion. Aside from the UFC Debut of 2 division ONE champion Reiner de Ridder there isn't much to get particularly excited for here.There are individual fighters such as Carlos Prates, Gillian Robertson and another Debutant in Mansur Abdul-Malik that are riding high stock atm but their opponents leave something to be desired.Let's break down the fights.And the Usual Links: My Discord: https://discord.gg/hzc4NMyjRf My Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meodread Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/MeoOnMMA And my Full Link Tree Here: https://linktr.ee/meodread230.

UFC Edmonton: Moreno vs Albazi Predictions
45:38||Ep. 229The UFC heads North to Canada for a Travel Card and it's a pretty good. The fights generally have a point or ask important questions and the main event and co-main event do feature fighters with legit title shot hopes.Let's break down the fights.And the Usual Links: My Discord: https://discord.gg/hzc4NMyjRf My Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meodread Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/MeoOnMMA And my Full Link Tree Here: https://linktr.ee/meodread227. UFC 308: Topuria vs Holloway Predictions
50:52||Ep. 227The UFC heads to Abu Dhabi and the now world famous Etihad Arena for the first title defense of the Ilia Topuria Era and it's against the all time great Max Holloway. Solid main card. Under card is a bit lacking but the fighters are mostly UFC caliber so that's a win and a few of the fights promise violence.We also have perhaps the 2 most frustrating fighters in Magomed Ankalaev and Khamzat Chimaev because both have every ingredient of a GREAT fighter but in Ankalaev's case an attitude that handicaps him and in Chimaev's case medical concerns and drama.Let's break down the fights.And the Usual Links: My Discord: https://discord.gg/hzc4NMyjRf My Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meodread Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/MeoOnMMA And my Full Link Tree Here: https://linktr.ee/meodread226. UFC Vegas 99 And PFL Battle of the Giants Recap
32:40||Ep. 226PFL Battle of the Giants and UFC Vegas 99 went off this weekend and for a day of rival programming I'm not sure either promotion really delivered something meaningful.PFL of course had Francis N'Gannou and a battle of 145 WMMA GOATS Cyborg vs Pacheco but otherwise? Hughes vs McKee was cool. That's about it.And for UFC Vegas 99 well it was an Apex card.Let's unpack the fights.And the Usual Links: My Discord: https://discord.gg/hzc4NMyjRf My Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meodread Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/MeoOnMMA And my Full Link Tree Here: https://linktr.ee/meodread225. UFC Vegas 99 And PFL Battle of the Giants Predictions
37:06||Ep. 225The UFC and PFL will have me watching fights all Saturday which is asking a lot but it's the life I have chosen.The UFC gives us a standard Apex offering, important and good main event, important and good co-main event and some decent talent elsewhere but also some fights that are very much filler.And the PFL gives us the Battle of the Giants as Francis N'Gannou returns to the MMA cage against Renan Ferreira and we have the battle of the Queens of 145 and up as Cris Cyborg and Larissa Pacheco square off. The issue is the card after that is a bit thin, talent it there but the matchmaking is lopsided.Let's break down the fights.And the Usual Links: My Discord: https://discord.gg/hzc4NMyjRf My Twitter: https://twitter.com/Meodread Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/MeoOnMMA And my Full Link Tree Here: https://linktr.ee/meodread
