MMA Talk with Brandon Coates — July 9th, 2018
First and foremost, let me get this out of the way. Yes, we realize the audio is terribly low with this. We are working on getting a better set up to remedy this issue.
Now, onto the show. Lots to talk about in the MMA world after UFC 226.
- The Francis Ngannou and Derrick Lewis fight might go down as one of the worst fights of all time. Seriously, so much hype around both guys to only have them throw almost no punches.
- The aftermath of the Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier fight shows the UFC is trying to hard to create storylines. Leave the fake fighting and fake storylines to WWE. Please, pump the brakes on this garbage.
- I have a gut feeling we are only a couple weeks away from a Conor McGregor against Khabib Nurmagomedov fight. I have no actual news to report on this, I just have a gut feeling.
