This week on the Fight News Unlimited Combat Sports Show we discuss Tito Ortiz winning his way into retirement over arch rival Chael Sonnen, and we also preview upcoming MMA and boxing events. Tom, Tony and Rich provide in depth analysis and commentary after a week off from the show. 2017 is off to a slow start in the combat sports world, but this weekend gets things started in a huge way with dueling HBO and Showtime boxing cards and both Bellator and UFC events slated for the coming days. Join us as we discuss all things combat sports.
Tom, 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.

Tom, Tony and Rich break down the biggest year-ending fights of 2016 and look forward to what should be a phenomenal 2017. We discuss Ronda Rousey, Floyd Mayweather, Andre Ward and other fighters in the news. We recap UFC 207 and look ahead to some Friday night fights on January 13th.
Tajiri, Tom and Tony cover the past week’s news and events and look forward to the few fight cards happening over the next few weeks.

Check out the show below. This one closes out the year for us, so fans can tune in next year for our next broadcast on January 5, 2017.
Tajiri, Tony and Tom discuss last week’s busy boxing and MMA schedule and look forward to some incredible match-ups this weekend in combat sports.

Wiki hii kwenye Onyesho la Michezo la Zima la FNU tunajadili mwezi mzuri wa Novemba hadi mapigano yanaendelea. Tulikuwa na maonyesho mawili tu mwezi uliopita, kwa hivyo tunaanza wiki hii katika hali ya kupata. Tunajadili Ward vs. Kovalev kwa urefu, nenda kwenye tangents chache kisha ufikie ukaguzi wa Tony wa “Damu kwa hili.” Kisha tunarudi kwa MMA kwa maoni ya Rich juu ya Miesha Tate kumwambia Dana White, “FU, wewe sio bosi wangu..” baada ya ombi lake kwamba aende hospitalini baada ya vita vyake na Raquel Pennington. Tate alistaafu mapema jioni baada ya kazi nzuri. Tajiri pia huenda mbele ya umoja wa wapiganaji na maendeleo kadhaa na Georges St.. Pierre, Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Ex-Bellator Bjorn Rebney, Cain Velasquez, T.J. Dillashaw na wahusika wengine wa UFC wakivunja ardhi mpya kwenye niche na kuanzishwa kwa Chama cha Wanariadha wa Sanaa ya Vita vya Mchanganyiko. Tunaweza pia kukagua ratiba ya ndondi inayokuja mwishoni mwa wiki kabla ya kumalizika kwa matangazo usiku wa leo.
Tom, Tony and Rich get back to action this week to discuss upcoming fight cards, including two big MMA events: UFC Fight Night Dos Anjos vs. Ferguson and Bellator 163: McGeary vs. Davis. We preview both events and talk about the matchups. We then move to the boxing schedule where there are multiple belts on the line this week all over the globe. We spend a bit of time discussing the big Manny Pacquiao bout against Jessie Vargas. Is Manny fighting for the right reasons? Does he have enough left in the tank? We’ll know the answer Saturday night. Rich also breaks down his suspicions about vocal UFC fighters trending toward starting some type of powerful fighters union. Could the astronomical selling price of the UFC actually be the main handicap for the new owners? Did putting such a high premium on the UFC unintentionally give griping fighters more incentive to sue the company? Only time will tell.
Tom, Tony and Rich discuss the last two weeks of combat sports news and events. We also preview a busy weekend for boxing. This is the Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll edition as we have stories to discuss in all three categories. We chat about Tyson Fury doing cocaine, Josh Samman’s possible drug overdose death, Donald Trump and Mike Tyson talking about rumors that Trump had an affair with Robin Givens, and some high profile rockers and other celebrities buying into the UFC (Flea, Adam Levine, Anthony Keidis). We also recap UFC 204, headlined by an epic five round battle between Dan Henderson and Michael Bisping. Bisping won the fight, but Henderson did plenty of damage and went into retirement with an effort for the ages. Listen to us break it all down:
Tom, Tony and Rich discuss this week’s most significant fight cards, and major combat sports news. We also recap last weekend’s major combat sports events. We cover Roy Nelson’s kicking of Big John McCarthy, Heavyweight Boxing Champion Tyson Fury telling drug testers to “F” mbali, Premier Boxing Champions and their dwindling fight cards, and the recent torrent of UFC fighters willing to voice their displeasure with the organization and the pay scale. Could it be that the Fertitta exodus has fighters less intimidated by the shadow of the family’s former mafia ties? Rich has a little soap box moment on this subject.
