JNPO: 2019 MMA year in review, pt. 4

In the finale of the 2019 MMA year in review series, Josh Nason and guest Paul Fontaine run through the final three months of 2019. 

A taste of what we cover:

  • Israel Adesanya’s UFC middleweight title unification win and whether it was the start of something big for the company
  • An eventful UFC Boston show that featured a new light heavyweight title contender, a great co-main event, and InhalerGate
  • A fantastic UFC return to Madison Square Garden headlined by a BMF title fight…that ended in a doctor’s stoppage
  • The bizarre Nick Diaz/Ariel Helwani interview
  • The official announcement for the return of Conor McGregor
  • Colby Covington finally got a UFC title shot and came away with a hashtag instead
  • Max Holloway’s long UFC featherweight title reign ended
  • Rory MacDonald loses his Bellator welterweight title and then surprisingly signs with the PFL
  • Some surprising UFC releases…and more.
