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 discuss another double dose of major MMA from the past weekend with UFC on ESPN+ 9 and Bellator Europe 2. Donald Cerrone made it three in a row with a big win over Al Iaquinta – all after having a son. And across the pond in England, Raymond Daniels pulled off one of the greatest KOs we’ve seen in a while. Plus, Brock Lesnar apparently is retired again, which means Daniel Cormier vs. Stipe Miocic 2 is back on the table.
Watch the video above to hear Fowlkes’ thoughts.
We’d like to say the news won’t always be like this, but come on, who are we kidding?
