Ep. 62 scrap recaps, Whittaker vs De Ridder. Conor back in the testing pool
Manage episode 497414843 series 3590341
Alright legends, in this week’s episode I run through all the wild moments from UFC Fight Night Whittaker vs de Ridder. Bit of a weird one to be honest, but plenty to talk about.
We had Buday pulling off a huge upset in the heavyweight division, and Steve breaking the record for most knockdowns in a single round six in the first while poor Yahya somehow stayed in there way too long. Ricci lands a beauty of a KO, Davey Grant turns things around after a rough first round, and Muslim Salikhov with a clean walk off knockout, always love those.
Shara walks through fire to get the win (fight of the night for mine), Petr Yan starts slow but finishes strong, and Bryce Mitchell edges out Nurmagomedov in a tight one. Also, Krylov gets knocked out again, ASU Almabaev looked solid, and Ochoa’s someone I’m keen to see more from. Oh, and Reiner de Ridder, that goofy bastard, somehow sneaks a split decision over Bobby Knuckles. Don’t ask me how.
