UFC, PFL and Boxing Recaps and Previews, Matthew O'Neil Interview, Combat Sports News Roundup

from Fight Talk Unlimited · host Fight Talk Unlimited

This week it's Rich and Tony on the broadcast while Tom takes a week off. We cover the week's major combat sports news first with Julio Cesar Chavez Junior leading the coverage thanks to his arrest and potential deportation. We follow up with a discussion on Jake Paul getting ranked #14 after beating JCC Junior last weekend. We also mention that Eric "Butterbean" Esch is looking to fight Paul next, even though it is more likely Paul will face Gilberto Ramirez, a former guest of our show. We also chronicle the potential comeback of Tyson Fury to boxing thanks to the Sheikh. Ben Askren's successful lung transplant is also in the news thanks to what appears to be significant financial donations by the Tate brothers and Jake Paul. Another story we discuss is Sean Strickland going after a fighter who beat one of his trainees over last weekend. One more big story is Molly "Meatball" McCann moving into boxing after her UFC retirement. We then bring on our guest this week Matthew O'Neil, who talks about an incident where he killed a terrorist in the year 2000 out in Colorado Springs. O'Neill also has a background of competing in multiple sports, including boxing. He chats with us about his military experience, all his athletic accomplishments, and his career in journalism. We end the broadcast with a review of this weekend's boxing schedule and full recaps of the MMA action from last weekend and a preview of a PFL card Friday night in Riyadh. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/fight-talk-unlimited--3082453/support.
