Thursday’s edition of MMA Junkie Radio with hosts “Gorgeous” George and “Goze” is here!
On Episode No. 3,011 of the podcast, the guys react to the latest MMA news and notes, as well as preview Bellator’s Hawaii doubleheader.
THE RUNDOWN:
- New UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski is facing a tough break – literally. He revealed that he broke his hand, and it will require surgery, which means he’s out for some time. Just like that, all the momentum he’s gained from beating Max Holloway goes away, at least for a little while. What needs to happen next?
- Bellator “Salute The Troops” takes place Friday and features the return of former UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett in the headliner. We look ahead to the card.
- Also taking place Saturday is Bellator 236, where women’s flyweight champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane will defend her title against Kate Jackson. Plus, the featherweight grand prix quarterfinals get underway with Antonio McKee vs. Derek Campos. We look ahead to the card.
- Speaking of Bellator, former welterweight champion Rory MacDonald is gone after signing on with the PFL. What do we think of this surprising move?
- OK, seriously. What needs to happen with the women’s featherweight “division” – if you can even call it that? We discuss.
- UFC Hall of Famer apparently will continue fighting on after losing at UFC 245. But should he?
- Johnny Walker is moving to Tristar Gym in preparation for his next fight. Good move?
