On this fifth installment, Jonathan Shrager is joined by regular panelists, UG Head Honchos Kirik Jenness and Chris Palmquist, and the inimitable Nick The Tooth. Topics broached include:
-RDA’s withdrawal from UFC 196, and options for Conor inside the Octagon come March 5th.
-Polaris exclusively revealed to us at the UG that Jake Shields will co-feature on their forthcoming event headlined by Palhares, whose bout will be overlooked by two referees as a precautionary measure, yielding question of whether it’s possible to minimize the risk posed by a grappler as seemingly reckless as Rousimar.
-Has MMA outgrown exhibition fights such as Main and Co-Main at Bellator 149? Does it prove of benefit or detriment to the sport at this stage?
-The bane of MMA; weight-cutting. Implications, measures and solutions.
-UFC London; On Saturday night, a hunch on which Anderson we witness? A return to his former glory, a shadow of his former self, or somewhere in-between?
