In the past the UFC has done a good job of getting fighters from postponed cards back in the mix. That might not happen this time. As such, the fighters from the three postponed cards should be paid.

March 09, 2020 03:44 - 19 minutes

Moving on to episode five of the C’mon Now podcast. I’ve been working from notes for the first few episodes and I guess that’s been apparent in the delivery. This one was much more free flowing off the top of my head, so hopefully that’ll make things flow a bit better. Today I only have a few topics, all are UFC 248 related. First is Yoel Romero getting a pass for some pretty clueless remarks. Second is Dana White discussing coronavirus. Third is the UFC’s “press conferences” that combine f...

Moving on to episode four of the C’mon Now podcast and with my increased comfort I’m doing a little less note taking and a little more just going with what pops into my head on the topics I discuss. I’m not totally comfortable with this yet, but I’m getting there. Today I only have two topics. The first is Sean O’Malley and the pressure he could be under at UFC 248. The second is ESPN MMA and its selective coverage of Abdul Razak Alhassan, who was found not guilty today in his sexual assault...
