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 MMAjunkie 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 talking about the retirement announcement from UFC legend Georges St-Pierre – who at least was honest enough to keep the door open just a crack in case the UFC calls him with a big name and big-money opportunity against someone like Khabib Nurmagomedov. And we’re talking about Saturday’s UFC on ESPN+ 3 show in Prague, where Stefan Struve had an honest retirement announcement, too. And where Thiago “Marreta” Santos was brutally honest with some hammerfists befitting his nickname. Plus, more UFC interim title fights?! Of course!
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?
