The UFC is back in full swing on the cusp of its third event in an eight-day stretch. Because of that, there was no shortage of news to discuss in the latest MMA Junkie Q&A.
From the controversy surrounding Wednesday’s UFC on ESPN+ 29 headliner, where [autotag]Glover Teixeira[/autotag] battered [autotag]Anthony Smith[/autotag] in a fifth-round TKO, to the emotional stakes around Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 8 headliner between [autotag]Alistair Overeem[/autotag] and [autotag]Walt Harris[/autotag], the fights themselves have provided many points of interest.
Then there’s everything that’s happened outside the cage. [autotag]Conor McGregor[/autotag] kept in the news, UFC light heavyweight champ [autotag]Jon Jones[/autotag] teased a move to heavyweight to face [autotag]Francis Ngannou[/autotag], and UFC lightweight champ [autotag]Khabib Nurmagomedov[/autotag] was forced to tend to a family crisis.
