Gilbert Durinho conversa com o Trocação Franca sobre a ascensão de Khamzat Chimaev na categoria meio-médio do UFC e por que toparia enfrentar o checheno no octógono mesmo que não faça sentido em termos de ranking. Durinho argumenta por que Kamaru Usman já passou Georges St-Pierre como melhor da história da categoria e, entre outros assuntos, revela que o UFC ofereceu luta com o amigo Vicente Luque. O jornalista Renato Rebelo, do Sexto Round, fala sobre Max Holloway x Alexander Volkanovski 3 e como A.J. McKee se sairia contra eles, o possível duelo Cris Cyborg x Kayla Harrison no Bellator, e o trio Durinho-Chimaev-Usman no UFC, e mais.

O melhor do MMA brasileiro no Trocação Franca, toda quarta-feira, com o jornalista Guilherme Cruz e convidados.

Gilbert Burns stops by Trocação Franca to discuss the rise of Khamzat Chimaev and explain why he’d agree to fight him — even if it doesn’t make sense ranking-wise. Burns also explains why Kamaru Usman has already surpassed Georges St-Pierre as the greatest welterweight of all-time, reveals the UFC has tried to book him against his longtime friend Vicente Luque, and more. Then, Brazilian journalist Renato Rebelo of Sexto Round stops by to discuss Max Holloway vs. Alexander Volkanovski 3 and where A.J. McKee stands in the featherweight division, how Kayla Harrison would do against Cris Cyborg, the state of the UFC welterweight division, and more.

Listen to Trocação Franca with Guilherme Cruz every Wednesday to hear from the biggest names on the hottest topics in the Brazilian combat sports world.

Former UFC flyweight champion Nicco Montano joins The Fighter vs. The Writer in episode 12 to discuss the arduous journey she’s traveled since becoming the first person to win the 125-pound title back in 2017. Montano will detail the struggles she faced with her weight cuts, including the disastrous attempt to get down to flyweight that ultimately cost her the title for a fight scheduled against Valentina Shevchenko.

Montano addresses what led to her missing weight by seven pounds for her most recently scheduled fight as well as her release from the UFC afterwards. Montano will also detail her involvement in a new documentary that was released this year that followed her from the time she became UFC champion to the heartbreaking moment when her title was taken away after she was unable to make weight for her first defense. 

All this and much more on the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer.

Aaron Pico is looking to continue his surge up the Bellator featherweight rankings as he faces a tough test in the undefeated Justin Gonzales this Friday at Bellator 271. Pico joins MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck (3:17) to preview the matchup, talks his reaction to getting the fight, wondering how Gonzales could actually beat him, fatherhood, Carlos Condit’s recent retirement, and Jon Jones’ exit from JacksonWink.

Valerie Loureda (21:52) discusses her Bellator 271 matchup with Taylor Turner and explains why she was so devastated following her loss to Hannah Guy, why she feels like she was the better fighter and wanting a rematch, changes she’s made mentally, physically, and with her coaches over at American Top Team, feeling as focused on a fight as she has in her career, and her 2022 goals in MMA.

Finally, BKFC breakout star Britain Hart (34:38) previews her matchup with Pearl Gonzalez at BKFC 22 this Friday in Miami, talks the fight coming together very quickly, her husband Joey Beltran’s recent loss, still feeling like Gonzalez is an “easy fight,” feeling like her opponent isn’t taking the fight, or her combat career seriously, being more open to a fight with Taylor Starling, and if she feels Paige VanZant will fight in the promotion again.
