Luke and Brian first address the mess that was UFC Fight Night 159 Mexico City. They loved the setting and promotion for UFC 244 Masvidal vs Diaz but there was something missing. But before 244, there's 243 with what Luke calls the matchup of the year featuring the Middleweight Champ, Robert Whittaker taking on the undefeated "Stylebender" Israel Adesanya. MK also previews this Saturday's PPV Welterweight unification between Errol Spence and Shawn porter and how boxing prospect Ryan Garcia was able to procure a big contract from Golden Boy.

EP 10: JUSTIN GAETHJE DOMINATES, CONOR NEXT? FURY SURVIVES AND DEVIN HANEY SHOWS THAT THE FUTURE IS NOW! Sep 16, 2019

Show notes

Justin Gaethje impresses yet again with 3rd straight first round stoppage against a game Cowboy. He has ascended to the upper echelon of the loaded lightweight division, right there with Ferguson and Khabib. Will Conor McGregor step in to the octogon with such a dangerous opponent? Michalle Pereira makes a great GIF but isn’t it about winning at the end of the day? The best showmen back it up in the octagon with wins and they MAKE WEIGHT! Next up is UFC Mexico City with Jeremy Stephens facing off against the Zombie killer, Yair Rodriguez.

On the boxing front, Tyson Fury had all he could handle with the tough, game Swede, Otto Wallin. Fury won a decision but with two cuts on his eye totaling 50 stitches, was it worth it? And finally, once again we learned that Devin Haney is the real deal and at 20 years old is already calling out Lomachenko!
