JNPO: UFC’s Jon Anik on UFC 199, Kimbo, Ariel Helwani & Brock
Get a chance to catch your breath yet this week? From news to results to death and everything in between, the MMA faithful had enough to fill their cups and then some in the last seven days.
Helping host Josh Nason make sense of it all is UFC play-by-play man, studio host, and Anik & Florian podcast co-host Jon Anik!
Josh and Jon discussed the divergent paths of Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson from UFC 100 to UFC 199, the somewhat buried story of Urijah Faber possibly retiring, the public reverence for the passing of Kimbo Slice and Muhammad Ali this week, thoughts on the return of Brock Lesnar and his chances against Mark Hunt, a little on Nate Diaz vs. Conor McGregor II, and even a question about his friend and former co-worker Ariel Helwani.
Listen to all that and more in the 41st episode of Josh Nason’s Punch-Out.
Show notes: Here is John Pollock’s MMA week in review discussed in the show’s closing.
