MMA Junkie Radio #3029: UFC Auckland and Bellator recaps, Fury-Wilder, Adesanya, more

Monday’s edition of MMA Junkie Radio with hosts “Gorgeous” George and “Goze” is here!

On Episode No. 3,029 of the podcast, the guys look back at a busy combat sports weekend with UFC Auckland, Bellator 239, Bellator Dublin and Fury vs. Wilder, and they react to the latest MMA news and notes.

THE RUNDOWN

  • UFC on ESPN+ 26 went down in New Zealand with a killer main event between Dan Hooker and Paul Felder. We look back at the card.
  • Bellator had back-to-back events with Bellator 239 in Oklahoma and Bellator 240/Bellator Europe 7 in Dublin. We go through the most important results.
  • How did you score Hooker’s split decision win over Felder?
  • Should Hooker get Justin Gaethje next? That’s whom he called out.
  • Should Felder hang up the gloves after his loss? He said he was considering it, but his team says that was just in the moment.
  • Did Jimmy Crute have his coming-out party with a big TKO of Michal Oleksiejczuk in Auckland?
  • Should Karolina Kowalkiewicz call it quits after a fourth straight loss at UFC Auckland? We think she should.
  • Angela Hill set the new bar in Auckland with six UFC fights in less than a year. Should she take a rest and slow down?
  • UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya ruffled plenty of feathers with a 9/11 comment. He apologized after the fact and owned up to it. We break down the situation.
  • How was the Tyson Fury win over Deontay Wilder on Saturday night different from a big UFC event?
  • Submission Underground went down Sunday, and we recap the event.
