June 19, 2022UFC Austin Post-Fight Show | Was Calvin Kattar Robbed In Main Event vs. Josh Emmett?
Following Josh Emmett’s split decision win over Calvin Kattar in the main event of UFC Austin, it seemed pretty clear that calling a close fight such as that “a robbery” would be highly egregious. However, after looking at the judges’ scorecards more in-depth, maybe there is a case to be made.
MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck, Jose Youngs, and Alexander K. Lee gave their thoughts on the headline of the UFC’s return to Texas — and judge Chris Lee’s debated fourth-round scoring — and where Emmett goes from the biggest win of his career, Kevin Holland’s sensational performance against Tim Means, Adrian Yanez’s potential breakout moment, the late scratch of Donald Cerrone vs. Joe Lauzon, Joaquin Buckley’s ceiling at 185 after his career best performance, and more.

June 17, 2022UFC Austin Preview Show | Can Calvin Kattar, Josh Emmett Earn Title Shot With Main Event Win?
Calvin Kattar and Josh Emmett will battle it out in a pivotal UFC featherweight divisional clash in the main event of UFC Austin. Could the winner emerge as the new No. 1 contender in one of the promotion’s deepest divisions?
Ahead of Saturday’s card in the Lone Star State, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee give their thoughts on the headliner and the potential stakes involved, the co-main event between veteran bonus collectors Donald Cerrone and Joe Lauzon, and whether or not it could be the last time we see either compete inside the octagon, where Kevin Holland would go in the 170-pound division with a victory of veteran Tim Means, and other intriguing storylines in the promotion’s first event since a memorable UFC 275 card.

With the UFC announcing the UFC 278 main event on Aug. 20 between Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards for the welterweight title in Salt Lake City, does the event need some extra sizzle with a Dustin Poirier vs. Nate Diaz co-main event in order to entice fans to purchase three UFC pay-per-view events in a less than two month span?
