Monday’s edition of MMA Junkie Radio with hosts “Gorgeous” George and “Goze” is here!
Covered in Episode 2,980 of the podcast, the fellas preview Saturday’s big UFC 242 event in Abu Dhabi, look back at UFC Shenzhen, and much more:
- Reaction to Weili Zhang’s quick and dominant main event title win over Jessica Andrade at UFC on ESPN+ 15 in Shenzhen, China.
- Our thoughts on what should come next for Zhang, who became the first Chinese champion in UFC history.
- Other stories came out of UFC Shenzhen, as well, including Li Jingliang’s big upset of Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos.
- UFC 242 goes down Saturday. Ahead of the card, lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov said on a conference call with the media that his retirement date might come sooner than we all think.
- If fighters like Nurmagomedov and Nate Diaz don’t want to talk about Conor McGegor and a rematch with him anymore, what does that mean for McGregor?
- After B.J. Penn’s recent outside-the-cage issues, coupled with his obvious issues in the cage, where he’s lost seven straight, UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell doesn’t think he should fight again. Guess what? Neither do we.
- Dual UFC champion Henry Cejudo is stirring up some heat with former bantamweight titleholder Dominick Cruz, who still is on the mend. Is that a fight we might see down the road?
- Cris Cyborg is done in the UFC and ready to explore free agency. Where will she wind up, and what will her ultimate legacy be?
