Listen Later

EPISODE 152: The MMA Circus, hosted by Nick Baldwin and Andrew Lawrence, is back for your listening pleasure.

Discussion Topics:

  • UFC on FOX 28 preview — In the Orlando main event, Jeremy Stephens stopped Josh Emmett in the second round with — somewhat controversial — strikes. Jessica Andrade, Ilir Latifi, and Max Griffin all picked up wins on the rest of the main card.
  • Jon Jones’ CSAC hearing — The former UFC light heavyweight champion finally went before the California State Athletic Commission Tuesday. He was fined $205,000 and had his MMA license revoked; he cannot re-apply for it until his to-be-determined USADA sanction is complete.
  • UFC 222 preview — In the pay-per-view headliner, Cris Cyborg defends her women’s featherweight belt against Invicta FC champ Yana Kunitskaya. Frankie Edgar vs. Brian Ortega serves as the co-feature. Should we care about Cyborg mismatches? Do cards like UFC 222 — and particularly how they are being promoted by the UFC — show that the UFC is on a downward slope?
