C'mon Now MMA Podcast 361 - Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz 3 Outside the UFC, MMA Media as UFC PR, The "Future of MMA" and more

2022-09-2320:40

If Conor McGregor is out of the USADA testing pool, he needs to be out of the official UFC rankings - it's only fair Remember two years ago when Dana White told the UFC matchmakers to build the women's featherweight division? What happened with that edict? MMA media doesn't need to carry water for the UFC, but it sure like to do free PR for the promotion The future of the UFC is not coming until the promotion fixes its pay Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz should do everything they can to cut the UFC out of their trilogy fight Fighters being nervous about advocating for better pay and benefits doesn't mean they don't care about pay and benefits --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/trent-reinsmith/support

2022-09-1627:26

Man, Li Jingliang didn’t deserve to lose his spot in the welterweight rankings for a catchweight fight against Daniel Rodriguez at UFC 279 The good and bad from the UFC and the UFC commentary team from UFC 279 USADA has tested Jon Jones, Travis Browne and Urijah Faber more in 2022 than it has tested Conor McGregor - that’s a bad look for the UFC and USADA Tony Ferguson and Hunter Campbell’s Bentley - C’mon now… Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson sends a message that he doesn’t care about the UFC fighters as much as he cares about free publicity for his brand Mixed feelings on Tony Ferguson’s UFC career in 2022 Dana White’s praise of Nate Diaz shouldn’t distract from the fact the UFC wanted Khamzat Chimaev to damage him and his value at UFC 279 --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/trent-reinsmith/support

C'mon Now MMA Podcast 358: The Potential Chaos of UFC 279, Chimaev vs Diaz and More

2022-09-0221:48

C'mon Now MMA Podcast 358: The Potential Chaos of UFC 279, Chimaev vs Diaz and More - Nate Diaz has the potential to be an agent of chaos at UFC 279 and we should all welcome that as fans of MMA. I also discuss the winners and losers of the Demetrious Johnson for Ben Askren trade between the UFC and ONE Championship. I'm a fan of Rafael dos Anjos looking to get a veteran's division started in the UFC. I disagree that Alex Alex Pereira's size will be an advantage against Israel Adesanya at UFC 281. I offer my opinion on how Khamzat Chimaev was the biggest loser of UFC 278, but that he has a lot more to lose at UFC 279 and talk about MMA referee Herb Dean's takes on fouls inside the cage. Thanks for listening! Who won the Demetrious Johnson and Ben Askren trade - UFC or ONE Championship? Rafael dos Anjos is done chasing title fights - this could help the fighters and the UFC I think Alex Pereira's size is going to hurt him more than help him against Israel Adesanya at UFC 281 Khamzat Chimaev was the big loser at UFC 278, he could lose even more at UFC 279 Nate Diaz can bring chaos to the UFC at UFC 279 Herb Dean made some good points — and some questionable statements in talking Leon Edwards, fence grabs and fouls in MMA fights --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/trent-reinsmith/support

C'mon Now MMA Podcast 357: Scary UFC 279 Stats, Dana White's Free Speech and More

2022-08-2621:11

I didn’t like what I heard from Kamaru Usman after his UFC 278 loss to Leon Edwards Why Dana White might have regrets about letting Shane Burgos move to PFL via free agency Why I don’t know if I believe Paulo Costa’s claims that he only made $35,000 for Marvin Vettori fight My issues with MMA media reporting someone told me this about this other fighter Athletic commissions need to ask Colby Covington about his claim of a brain injury UFC adding another weight division would help UFC and fighters Dana White’s actions don’t say he’s all about free speech UFC has injury insurance and that is not health insurance UFC 279 numbers that concern me with Khamzat Chimaev vs Nate Diaz fight. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/trent-reinsmith/support

Let’s put the UFC passed on Bo Nickal story to rest Dominick Cruz might love Daniel Cormier, but he still doesn’t think Cormier does the work as a UFC commentator Hey, Dana White, who is the “they” that gets a cut of UFC pay-per-view buys?
