FNU Combat Sports Mostra: UFC Fight Night Recap, Pacquiao vs. Matthysse still on, “Big Rig” Retires

This week on the FNU Combat Sports Show, we discuss the latest news in MMA and boxing, recap the past week’s events and preview the upcoming events this week. We also discuss Walter “2 GunsWright winning his main event fight against Mark DeLuca a couple days after we interviewed him last week. Wright’s split decision win came in part due to a persistent jab that frustrated DeLuca and left him bloodied, bruised and exhausted by the final bell. Of course bringing up this fact gets us all going on the absolute necessity of the jab in any combat sports fighter’s toolbox.

Among the news we touch on:

The rumors about Manny Pacquiao’s next fight with Lucas Matthysse being in jeopardy, Manny and his team say everything is on track.

Johny “Big Rig” Hendricks retires (also forgot to mention Rashad Evans retired as well).

 

The latest cast for The Contender Series, set to return this August featuring 16 up and coming young boxers in the 160-pound division.

 

Lyoto Machida’s defection from the UFC to Bellator and Bellator’s blockbuster deal with DAZN, a streaming service working to take over new markets this year, including the US and Italy.

Mostra d'esports de combat d'aquesta setmana: Nunes vs. Recapitulació de Pennington, Lomachenko vs.. Anàlisi de Linares, Liddell es retira i crida Jon Jones

El programa d'esports de combat il·limitat de notícies de lluita d'aquesta setmana és una gran barreja de boxa i arts marcials mixtes. Tom, Tony i Rich cobreixen tota l'acció del cap de setmana passat i es meravellen amb el mestre del seu ofici que és Vasyl Lomachenko. Parlem de Chuck Liddell que sortirà de la jubilació amb Golden Boy MMA, i Tito Ortiz prenent el debat per ser el seu primer rival. També tenim una mica de debat sobre Raquel Pennington dient al seu racó que volia acabar després de la quarta ronda contra Amanda Nunes. Els seus entrenadors Pep la van convèncer perquè continués, que va provocar més pèrdua de sang i danys facials per part d'un oponent clarament més animat i fresc. Penseu aquí mateix a la secció de comentaris si teniu la vostra pròpia opinió sobre la situació.
