Tune in for another great podcast from The Complete Sports and Media Coverage team.

Today we are featuring a great conversation with a veteran of the combat sports world Stephane Cappellini. Capo has competed in combat sports and worked with his local athletic commission to help put on events.

We have a short introduction to the show as we start talking about the UFC.

After the pandemic hit North America and postponed and cancelled events the UFC was able to eventually return. We began talking about the events in Florida and Las Vegas after the sport had returned with no fans. We all have been missing live sports and with hard work the UFC has started to fill that void. We introduced Stephane and welcomed him to the show. Our conversation started by speaking about the difference we noticed with no fans in the stands at these latest live event fight cards. We briefly discussed the rumors of Mike Tyson fighting Shannon Briggs or Evander Holyfield. The focus quickly shifted back to the UFC and the latest pay per view UFC 250 and the main event featuring Amanda Nunes and Felicia Spencer. After a brief discussion about the dominant performance by Nunes we shifted into discussing the other fights on the card. We began to specifically speak about the bantamweight fights beginning with Cody Garbrandt and his big knockout victory over Raphael Assuncao. Stephane mentioned Garbrandts jujitsu coach Ricardo Almeida and we brought up his new Striking coach Mark Henry and his original team Team Alpha Male. Sticking with the bantamweights we marveled at the submission victory by Aljimain Sterling over Cory Sandhagen. Then transitioned into talking about the big knockout win by Sean OMalley over Eddie Wineland. To cap off UFC 250 we talked about Cody Stamman and his win with a heavy heart after his 18 year old brother had passed away recently.

We then turned our attention to the latest fight announcement of the card for UFC 251, It was revealed just hours before our conversation that the card would take place on Yas Island called "Fight Island" in Abu Dhabi on July 11th. This card is scheduled to feature three world title matches. We started by talking about the Title fight in the Bantamweight division between Petr Yan and Jose Aldo. The belt is on the line because of the retirement of Henry Cejudo and so the title was vacated. The Main event of UFC 251 features the Champion Kamara Usman defending his belt against Gilbert Burns. We discussed some of Burns last fights and the merits of his title shot. We shifted to the third title fight on the card that would see a rematch between Featherweight Champion Alexandre Volkanovski vs Max Holloway. Volkanovski took the belt from Holloway on December 14 2019 by unanimous decision. Stephane questioned how Holloway could comeback in such a relatively short time and get a victory and getting beaten quite badly the in first match.

Our great conversation was concluded with some discussion on the recent announcement of Georges St Pierre getting nominated for the UFC Hall Of Fame.

It was a great breakdown from one of our favorite analysts and we look forward to many more discussions in the future.
