The Fight Game Podcast: Pro Wrestling, MMA & Boxing

Rumor has it that Mecedes Vernado, AKA Sasha Banks, has agreed to limited dates for New Japan Pro Wrestling, including their 1/4 Wrestle Kingdom show.

Ryan Frederick and Paul Fontaine are back to talk about the week that was and is to come in the world of MMA. It's stacked with coverage of UFC Orlando, which featured a hot card, the best performance of Stephen "Wonder Boy" Thompson's career and a UFC record eight knockouts on the show. They also preview UFC 282 from Las Vegas, which has a weak main event in Magomed Ankalaev vs Jan Blachowicz for the vacant light heavyweight title but a deep undercard including the Las Vegas debut of Paddy "The Baddy" Pimblett. The question of the week surrounds the UFC PPV business and whether or not the company can rebound from a very weak 2022 as they get closer to negotiating a new broadcast deal. The "We Have To Talk About" segment is about the UFC betting scandal and just how serious it looks to be right now. The guys close off the show with the news of the week including the retirement of a former UFC champion and a possible new main event for UFC 283 in Brazil.
