After a nearly two-month hiatus, the UFC returned with UFC 249, and the event generated no shortage of headlines to discuss on the latest MMA Junkie Q&A.
The leading MMA promotion put on the first major American sports event since the coronavirus pandemic hit, and the card from VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, offered signature wins from Justin Gaethje, Henry Cejudo, Francis Ngannou and more.
The aftermath was just as compelling, especially when Conor McGregor brought himself into the fold by calling out pretty much every top fighter in the lightweight division.
It all set the stage for a busy week for the UFC, with two more events scheduled. UFC on ESPN+ 29 takes place Wednesday with an Anthony Smith vs. Glover Teixeira main event, while Alistair Overeem fights Walt Harris in Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 8 main event.
Lead staff reporter John Morgan, who is onsite, staff reporter Nolan King, and senior reporter Mike Bohn, went over it all to Tuesday’s MMA Junkie Q&A.
