MMA Junkie Radio #3010: Reaction to Usman-Covington, Volkanovski’s win, more UFC 245

Hosts “Gorgeous” George and “Goze” react to the year-end UFC 245 card, where three title fights took place in Las Vegas.

Monday’s edition of MMA Junkie Radio with hosts “Gorgeous” George and “Goze” is here!

On Episode No. 3,010 of the podcast, the guys look back at all things UFC 245 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

THE RUNDOWN:

  • [autotag]Kamaru Usman[/autotag] and [autotag]Colby Covington[/autotag] finally settled their grudge, with Usman retaining his welterweight title after scoring a fifth-round TKO victory that Covington didn’t agree with the stoppage. It was a grueling fight, which resulted in Covington suffering a fractured jaw. Are we satisfied with how things played out, and what makes sense for both fighters moving forward?
  • [autotag]Alexander Volkanovski[/autotag] took it to [autotag]Max Holloway[/autotag] and came away with a unanimous decision victory to claim the featherweight title. The good news for Holloway: UFC president Dana White already has expressed interest in booking an immediate rematch. Should that happen?
  • UFC dual champ [autotag]Amanda Nunes[/autotag] retained her women’s bantamweight title with a unanimous decision win over [autotag]Germaine de Randamie[/autotag]. And with that result, Nunes has just about cleared her division. What needs to happen next?
  • [autotag]Marlon Moraes[/autotag] spoiled [autotag]Jose Aldo[/autotag]’s bantamweight debut by earning a close split decision win. But get this: champ [autotag]Henry Cejudo[/autotag] has called out Aldo coming off a loss. What? How does that make any sense?
  • [autotag]Urijah Faber[/autotag]’s comeback hit a bump, as the UFC Hall of Famer lost by knockout to top contender [autotag]Petr Ya[/autotag]n, who looks legit as can be. As for Faber, does the 40-year-old legend need to call it a career? Or could this loss set the table for a future fight between Faber and T.J. Dillashaw?
  • We all love [autotag]Mike Perry[/autotag] because he’s as tough as they come. Where does he go from here after losing in 90 seconds to Geoff Neal?
