The Break: Conor McGregor’s arrest, Jorge Masvidal’s magic in the cage – and backstage

Ever have one of those weeks and/or weekends when, by the time you get to Monday, you can barely remember everything that happened? That’s more or less every week in the world of combat sports, where the realm of the bizarrely newsworthy is pretty much where we live.

Which is why MMA Junkie columnist Ben Fowlkes brings you “The Break” to make sense of what just happened, presented in the time it takes to grab a refill of coffee before the boss notices you’re missing.

This week, we’re looking back at UFC on ESPN+ 5, where Jorge Masvidal put Darren Till to sleep with his fists in the main event, then got into it backstage with Leon Edwards. Plus, yeah … Conor McGregor got arrested again and is back in some more legal trouble.

Check out the video above.

We’d like to say the news won’t always be like this, but come on, who are we kidding?
