MMA on Player FM

Brian Campbell and Luke Thomas are back on a Friday to discuss Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano III. Their first fight sold out Madison Square Garden in 2022, with 1.5 million watching live on DAZN in the most-watched women's boxing match in history. Their rematch last fall was the most watched women's sporting event in U.S. history. What has made this rivalry so special entering tonight's trilogy, in the main event of a historic all-female card on Netflix, and is it fair to say this is the biggest and most important event in women's boxing history?

Also, the guys talk through the "Ring III" event Saturday featuring Edgar Berlanga vs. Hamzah Sheeraz and Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda.

Plus a UFC Fight Night Nashville preview, BKFC and Conor McGregor hold a press conference and Ben Askren posts an update following a double lung transplant. Get ready for a loaded Friday of Morning Kombat!

Today on the program, we discuss Ben Askren's recovery, how many fights Ilia Topuria has left and why I never want to talk about you know who ever again.

This is episode 261 of The Luke Thomas Live Chat.

Michael Bisping revealed his dream White House card — I’ll tell you if I agree with his matchups. And now that Jon Jones has re-entered the testing pool, does that automatically earn him a spot on the card? Plus, what does Jones need to do to regain your trust?

Then, Derrick Lewis called out Tom Aspinall, which further confirms what I’ve been thinking about Aspinall’s next fight. Plus, Caio Borralho says Khamzat Chimaev will retire if he beats Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 319 — I’ll weigh in on that. Also, who is better: Charles Oliveira or Jack Della Maddalena? And finally, how likely are we to see Islam Makhachev vs. Ilia Topuria?
