“Ordo” 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. Tom, 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. Sergey Kovalev. Listen to the two part broadcast below.
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 “The 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.”
“Ordo” 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.
Tony Penecale (left) et Lou Duva (right) apud Brockton, Massachusetts dedication of the Rocky Marciano statue.
Nostrum spectaculum hac septimana Lou Duva dedicatum est (supra ius cum exercitu nostro Tony Penecale). Lou decessit ante hac septimana ad maturam senectutem 1994. Amicus magnus erat Marciano Rocky, fautor 19 pugiles mundi, et homo, qui omnia ferrea habebat in uno igne, quo animam suam accendebat: pugilatu. Promotor/exercitus/procurator/fabulae apparuit in FNU Certamina Sports spectaculum annis retro, sed dolendum est quod audio grainy et spotty. Si gemmas attente audias, sermo noster praeponderare difficiles maculas audiendi.
Etiam duos clips certos retractatos hic collocans:
Tom, Tony et Rich etiam metent Garcia vs. Thurman, Aliquam in Mayweather vs. McGregor, UFC 209 et multae controversiae adnexae, Monitum tenebrosum GSP de incisione ponderis, et Tony Bellew conturbatus est David Haye.
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.
