UFC Vegas 77 Post Show | Did Mayra Bueno Silva Just Earn A Title Shot By Submitting Holly Holm? Jul 16, 2023

Show notes

Fresh off the incredible UFC 290, the world's premiere MMA promotion returned with another APEX offering, UFC Vegas 77, and while the card as whole was somewhat forgettable, the main event gave us something to talk about as Mayra Bueno Silva staked her claim to a bantamweight title shot by submitting former champion Holly Holm in the second round.

Following UFC Vegas 77, MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew, Eric Jackman, and José Youngs react to Bueno Silva's big win, Jack Della Maddalena's difficult test against short-notice opponent Bassil Hafez in the co-main event, the lightweight futures of prospects Francisco Prado and Nazim Sadykhov, the consistent entertainment value of "The Iron Turtle" Jun Yong Park, and what was quite possibly the final women's featherweight fight in UFC history.

UFC Vegas 77 Preview Show | Should Holly Holm vs. Mayra Bueno Silva Headliner Be For Vacant Title? Jul 14, 2023

Show notes

Following an epic UFC 290 event, the UFC returns to the APEX on Saturday for UFC Vegas 77, and with the women's bantamweight title currently vacant, the stakes are high for headliners Holly Holm and Mayra Bueno Silva. But could the stakes have been even higher by adding the title recently vacated by Amanda Nunes?

MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Shaheen Al-Shatti discuss the main event between Holm and Bueno Silva, the stakes involved in the bantamweight tilt, if the belt should've been on the line, and, at worst, if a title shot could await the winner following Amanda Nunes' retirement. Additionally, they'll discuss the card as a whole, Jack Della Maddalena getting rebooked against a promotional newcomer in the main event, the backstage pull-apart between Norma Dumont and Chelsea Chandler, and more.

HOAM | Reaction To Jamahal Hill Vacating Title — How Will New Champ Be Crowned? Jul 14, 2023

Show notes

As if the combat sports news cycle couldn't get any crazier this week, Jamahal Hill announced on Thursday that he ruptured his Achilles tendon and will be vacating the UFC light heavyweight title.

Additionally, topics include Francis Ngannou getting the fight with Tyson Fury, the fallout from UFC 290, Robbie Lawler's perfect retirement and how the UFC is capable of greatness more often than fans are getting, Islam Makhachev's options for his lightweight title defense in Abu Dhabi, Alexandre Pantoja's next move after winning the flyweight title against Brandon Moreno this past Saturday, and more.

No Bets Barred: Are Holly Holm And Mayra Bueno Silva Fighting For Uncrowned Champ Status At UFC Vegas 77 Jul 13, 2023

Show notes

Coming off the sensational UFC 290 card, the world's premier MMA organization returns with a disappointing follow-up: UFC Vegas 77, headlined by a women's bantamweight fight between Holly Holm and Mayra Bueno Silva. Is it a good card? No. But nonetheless, the No Bets Barred boys are back to break it all done.

The conversation starts with the majesty of UFC 290 where both Conner Burks and Jed Meshew had winning weeks, and much fun was had by all. Then it's on to new business as with a lackluster, difficult card, both men have to pick their spots to find value. Topics discussed include whether the main event will crown the best women's bantamweight (now that Amanda Nunes has retired), Jack Della Maddalena's short-notice switcharoo, and the brilliance of the lightweight division.

Tune in for Episode 53 of No Bets Barred.

The dust has settled on another chaotic International Fight Week, but where does UFC 290 rank among the greatest pay-per-views in IFW history?
