FNU Sport Combat Trego: Përsëritja e natës e UFC Fight, 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 Guns” Wright 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.
