“Psihički” Tom Padgett earned his nickname last week in predicting Mark Hunt would be buoyed to a win over Derrick Lewis in front of his hometown New Zealand fans at the latest UFC Fight Night. We recap the fight card and preview this weekend’s UFC Fight Night card from Singapore. Mužjak nekih malih životinja, Tony and Rich also chat about Mayweather vs. McGregor getting signed. We additionally recap last week’s biggest boxing results and the upcoming weekend’s best fights, including a rematch of Andre Ward vs. Sergej Kovalev. Dvodijelnu emisiju poslušajte u nastavku.
Rich Bergeron opens this week’s FNU Combat Sports show by giving his unique take on the Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson feud with the UFC brass, namely Dana White. Upon refusing to take a fight with T.J. Dillashaw without getting certain assurances and conditions met, many fans on social media insisted DJ was running scared. Even Dillashaw took the opportunity to blast the move by the flyweight champ as “chickenshit.” Dana White even reportedly threatened to shut down the entire flyweight division if Johnson refused to fight TJ. “Mighty Mouse” didn’t blink and didn’t cave to the organization’s demands, and Rich explains in his opening dialogue why DJ should be respected and given the benefit of the doubt for his decision rather than being criticized and dragged through the mud for standing up for himself.
During the rest of the broadcast, Tony “Tornado” Penecale details his night out at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia for a fight card headlined by Hank Lundy. He also recaps Fonfara vs. Stevenson II and calls the fight “a disgrace.”
“Psihički” Tom Padgett chips in with some post-fight analysis of Aldo vs. Holloway. He also predicts Mark Hunt will benefit from home cage advantage in his battle with Derrick Lewis this weekend at UFC Fight Night 110 in New Zealand.
There’s also an update on Hunt’s lawsuit against the UFC and Brock Lesnar and lots of other fight previews and recaps. Listen to the whole broadcast to catch up on what’s new in combat sports this week.
Naša ovotjedna emisija bila je posvećena Louu Duvi (gore desno od našeg voditelja Tonyja Penecalea). Lou je umro ranije ovog tjedna u dubokoj starosti 1994. Rockyju Marcianu bio je sjajan prijatelj, promotor 19 svjetski prvaci, i čovjek koji je imao sva svoja glačala u jednoj vatri koja mu je osvjetljavala život: boks. Promotor / trener / menadžer / legenda pojavio se u emisiji FNU Combat Sports godinama unazad, ali nažalost zvuk je zrnast i mrljast. Ako pažljivo slušate dragulje, naš razgovor sadrži veću težinu od mjesta za čuti.
Ovdje također objavljujem nekoliko specifičnih remasteriranih isječaka:
Mužjak nekih malih životinja, Tony i Rich također ponavljaju Garciu vs.. Thurman, Najnovije na Mayweather vs.. McGregor, UFC 209 i brojne kontroverze u prilogu, GSP-ovo tamno upozorenje o rezanju utega, i šokantno uzrujavanje Davida Hayea Tonyja Bellewa.
Mužjak nekih malih životinja, Tony and Rich spend this week’s show catching up on the week’s major news in combat sports. We also preview upcoming fights in boxing and MMA. We highlight Mark Hunt’s recent lawsuit over a fight where Brock Lesnar tested positive for PEDs and discuss Ben Rothwell’s assessment of Travis Browne as a “Man Whore.” Listen to the hour long broadcast below.
