Monday’s edition of MMA Junkie Radio with hosts “Gorgeous” George and “Goze” is here!
Covered in Episode 2,986 of the podcast, the fellas look back at this past Saturday’s UFC on ESPN+ 17 card in Mexico City and discuss the latest MMA news and notes.
The rundown
- The UFC Mexico main event ended in disappointment and controversy when a Yair Rodriguez eye poke shut Jeremy Stephens’ left eye just 15 seconds into the fight.
- Who’s to blame for the chaos that erupted inside Mexico City Arena after the main event was called off?
- Carla Esparza beat Alexa Grasso in the UFC Mexico co-main event. Was her majority decision win the right call by the judges?
- Plus, we look back at the rest of UFC on ESPN+ 17 in Mexico City.
- Dual champion Henry Cejudo and former title challenger Brian Ortega, both of Mexican heritage, were on hand at UFC Mexico. Why didn’t they seem to get a bigger pop from the crowd?
- Former UFC interim lightweight champ Tony Ferguson and ex-interim welterweight champ Colby Covington both have the same representation – and frequently seem to be just outside the good graces of the UFC brass. Are they making bad decisions, and if so, will the UFC hold a grudge?
