WOR: Wilder vs. Fury, ROH signings, UFC Fight Night, more!
It’s Wrestling Observer Radio with Dave Meltzer and myself, guest co-host Garrett Gonzales.
We talk for a few minutes about the feedback to Dave’s story in the latest issue of the Wrestling Observer on Larry Matysik and some interesting nuggets about Larry.
We then dig into the two major shows from the day including the Showtime boxing PPV headlined by Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury and UFC Fight Night from Adelaide, Australia.
There was a lot of UFC and pro wrestling news to discuss as well, including the NXT TakeOver date being moved for the show WrestleMania weekend, two ROH signings, the Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz PPV number, Dana White talking about the next fight for Conor McGregor, new matches for WWE’s TLC PPV, and a lot more.
