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 just want to give Stephen Thompson a big ol’ hug after taking that Superman punch to the face from Anthony Pettis at UFC on ESPN+ 6. Did Justin Willis really say his loss to Curtis Blaydes will be his last loss ever? And, Reebok, you better come with some camo shorts for Bryce Mitchel. You hear?
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?
