Jon Jones Retires, UFC 317 Lookahead, Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford Press Tour

from Morning Kombat · host Black Effect x All The Smoke Productions

Two years after Tom Aspinall said he would retire Jon Jones without even fighting him, that's exactly what happened as UFC president Dana White relayed the news of Jones' exit at the UFC Baku postfight press conference. Less than one hour later, reports surfaced of a criminal summons filed in Albuquerque Metro Court accusing Jones of a misdemeanor charge of fleeing the scene of an accident in February. What does it say about Jones' true legacy that the end of such an unrivaled 17-year pro career would come in the most Jon Jones way possible? Minutes after announcing fans could expect double the amount of Dana White Contender Series cards in their next broadcasting deal, White quickly shot down any thought of Tom Aspinall vs. Francis Ngannou by disparaging Ngannou's integrity. How big would an Ngannou return be to repair all that was lost in Jones' title reign for the heavyweight division? Khalil Rountree Jr. dominated Jamahal Hill over five tactical rounds in a headlining bout to decide who's coming and who's going in the light heavyweight title picture. Rountree showed off the evolution of his maturity following a title loss to Alex Pereira by patiently picking apart Hill en route to three knockdowns and a wide victory by unanimous decision. How impressive was Rountree's performance? Plus, Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford embark upon a global press tour. And the fellas break down UFC 317 storylines. It's Morning Kombat Monday with Brian Campbell, Luke Thomas and the entire MK crew!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
