UFC 284 Preview

What this episode covers

Perth, P-Town, Punkadelic Podcast... it just makes sense! Today on the pod I've got another of my inimitable UFC Previews, this time featuring UFC 284, live from Perth, Australia which features the first champ vs champ superfight in some time. Also at stake in that main event, possibly for the first time in MMA, we are seeing P4P #1 & P4P #2 going head to head, with that coveted #1 spot up for grabs. Thoroughly legitimate, earned through blood, sweat and tears, Islam Machachev versus Alexander "The Great" Volkanovski (the hometown hero!) is a title clash to end all title clashes, an ultimate decider for the best martial artist, in the biggest martial arts organisation on earth. I break down the fight form a statistical viewpoint, examining these mens' career stats and the major storylines and stakes carrying them into this fight. I look at each man's sole loss, and examine their Tapology pages, ensuring that we don't miss the stat that lays the story of the fight bare before us. When I start these I'm not convinced either way, and I let the stats tell me what's likely to happen. This one is the most razor close fight I've broken down in this way yet. I don't know if I even reached a conclusion in the end. But my goal was simply twofold: to get you more excited about the card, and more informed about the main event. This podcast does that and then some!  Peace. Love.
