On this episode of the show, Flyin’ Brian J discusses the nights’ violence and nonsensical post-fight antics with special guest, Bill Welker from the MMA on the Rocks Podcast. This SBN MMA post-fight show is aimed at recapping all of the action from this event with the live viewer serving as the co-host. We go over post-fight ratings, talk about technique, discuss WTF moments from the card, and give out pretend bonuses.
Tonight, Saturday, July 20th, 2019, from inside the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas, the UFC showcased a welterweight contender bout in their UFC on ESPN 4 main event. We had Former Lightweight champion, Rafael dos Anjos, taking on Leon ‘Rocky’ Edwards, who came into the fight on an impressive seven-fight win streak. Also on the card, was the controversial former NFL standout, Greg Hardy, who entered the octagon as a slight favorite against Juan Adams.
Perhaps to the chagrin of many MMA fans, Hardy garnered much attention prior to his third UFC appearance. His opponent, Adams, did some of the promotional legwork, in a sense, to create a buzz around this heavyweight bout. The two were on social media and in interviews in the lead-up to this event, letting fans know they don’t like or respect each other.
