We had another great podcast episode with Jason Cameron who helped us breakdown the big UFC 261 card that had three title fights scheduled. This was a bit historic as it was the first time since Covid hit that they allowed full capacity of fans as they held the card in Jacksonville, Florida.
This card was incredibly stacked and had former champion Chris Weidman facing off against Uriah Hall. This didn't seem to be the fight we would focus on first but that changed. This was one of the most talked about fights after because Weidman suffered a horrific compound fracture of his leg only seconds into the battle. He threw a low kick to the leg of Hall and when Hall checked it Weidman's leg snapped on the impact. The strange and ironic part of this result was that in July of 2013 the exact same thing happened to his opponent Anderson "The Spider" Silva and handed Weidman the UFC Middleweight Championship Belt. We played a short clip from Weidman that he posted from his hospital bed as he tried to update his followers. We hope that he will make a full recovery and be able to get back to doing what he loves in 2022.
The card had three title fights on the night and was entertaining throughout. The main event pitted the Middleweight Champ Kamara Usman defending his belt against Jorge Masvidal for a second time. This was a dominating KO victory only 1 minute into the second round. In 50 pro fights "Game Bred" Masvidal had never been knocked out and hadn't been finished in 12 years. Usman will now be facing Coby Covington for a second time. In the first matchup Usman broke Coby's jaw and was dominant in victory.
In the Co-Main event Rose Namajunas upset the Champion of the womens Strawweight division Weili Zhang. "Thug" Rose threw a high head kick and dropped the champ and finished the fights with shots on the ground. Rose became the first woman to ever recapture the titler after losing it.
The other title fight on the card had womens Flyweight Champ the "Bullet" Valentina Shevchenko proved once again that she is the dominant fighter in this weight division. She rivals the G.O.A.T Amanda Nunes and is possibly setting herself up for a trilogy fight with Nunes.
The card had a lot of fun fights and we broke them down as usual.
Our conversation shifted to the NBA and we went through the latest news of the week.
The NFL draft happens this week and we just mentioned it briefly as it is starting to look like quarterbacks will be chosen with the first four picks for the first time in history.
