The MMA Prospectus: UFC Nashville, 190, & WMMA longevity

Bloody Elbow 2.0 | Anton Tabuena

Another episode of the MMA Prospectus is back here, ready and waiting for you to watch it… You’re going to watch it, right? I mean why wouldn’t you? You clicked the link, you knew what you were getting yourself into. You know what, I don’t even care if you watch it or not… No, that’s fine… It’s really not important.

Please watch the show.

Anyhow, all that aside. This week we’re talking about the rising talent of UFC Nashville, including Ray Borg, Geane Herrera, Derek Brunson, and Dustin Ortiz. We’re also looking briefly back at UFC 190 to extol the virtues of Warlley Alves and Glaico Franca. Also, we’ve got a reader question this week about the career arcs of WMMA fighters and whether fans could expect them to maybe stay around longer in the sport because they might be on the receiving end of less traumatic brain injury or other potential factors. Plus a lot more as we get randomly diverted down side paths of talking MMA development.

As always, if our Ooyala player isn’t working for you. You can watch the whole show over on YouTube. While you’re there, give us a “Like” and subscribe to MMANATIONDOTCOM for more Bloody Elbow interviews and Analysis.

Oh, and just in case you tried watching it and found my hair to be insufferable, you can listen to the show over on SoundCloud and on iTunes.
