MMA On Point - Podcast

You would think after a fight all the bad vibes would chill a bit and the two fighters would come to terms. Well.... that's not always the case. No better example than Ronda Rousey vs Miesha Tate. How about Dana White for some reason giving you crap for a great fight? Or not even signing you? Fans aren't exempt in this either with the Glover Teixeira situation. We'll show you it all in this video.

Everyone's 0 has to go at some point and if we're lucky it's at the best possible moment between two undefeated fighters. In this video it's all the most hyped fighters just like Ian Garry and Shavkat Rakhmonov at the height of their popularity. Who wins?.... is the only question left.

You never wanna stick around too long in this sport, cause those can just lead to some very miserable losses. And for that reason, usually leaving early is a good thing. But in this video, it's where something went wrong or distractions almost entirely wiped away a fighter's prime years.

Time to be thankful. It's that time of year again, so we broke down our favorite moments of the year and honestly just having a laugh on a big holiday. Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Hope it's a fun one!

Kinda crazy to think that someone who has nothing to do with a major MMA event can overshadow the whole thing, but that's exactly what's happened in these cases. What a better example than what just happened at UFC 309 when Tom Aspinall vs Jon Jones became a much bigger story than the actual main event vs Stipe Miocic.

Was this the end of their careers? Turns out not, but it certainly looked like it. In the case of Bisping or Aldo as pictured in the thumbnails, it was about as far down the line a loss could take you. How did they bounce back?

If you guys were watching around the time Werdum beat Fedor, you'd remember how much Dana White gloated that Werdum was a reject and that's how bad Strikeforce was. Fast forward a couple years and yeah, Werdum became UFC champion. That's what today's video is about; those who were kicked out of the UFC and became champions around the world and not just in the UFC.

Ahead of UFC 310, Kai Asakura is getting an immediate title shot at Alexandre Pantoja after being Rizin champion. Makes sense right? Champ vs champ is a fun idea. Well the UFC is pretty inconsistent about this. Actually, it's way more common for the UFC to deny a title shot for champions coming directly over even when it's made a ton of sense.

Jon Jones just thoroughly dominated a 42 year old Stipe Miocic who look every bit his age after 4 years off and basically semi-retired. What did this prove? What did this do for Jones' legacy that he keeps going on about? And more importantly, why did this have to happen instead of the Aspinall fight?

Most of the time fights get called off for pretty mundane reasons right? A fighter gets sick or injured? PED failures aren't great but are fairly common. In these cases though, it's almost like an act of god prevented them from going forward. Think of the last Tony vs Khabib booking? A Pandemic? What? That's the kind of thing you can expect to see on this list.
