    I think Alex only retired cause of the fact that he fell to 2-4 in his last 6 fights. Most fighters tend to hide behind retirement in my opinion cause they dont want to get their walking papers. Alex is only 32 years old. I think he will be back in maybe a year or two when Bellator comes calling. Urijah Faber and Jordan Mein both retired than 2 years later they come back. So that tells me retirement dont mean jack shit. Bea Malecki vs Eduarda Santana was a completely unnecessary fight. It was a Womens Featherweight Division fight but it occured at Womens Bantamweight Division. Anthony and his team wanted to wipe the egg off their faces after Jon Jones embrassed them. To me Jessica Eye has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Everybody expects Valentina Shevenckho to retain her UFC Womens Flyweight Championship. Jessica is 13-1 at 125 lbs. At one point, she was the #1 ranked womens flyweight in the world. I hope Marlon beats Henry for the sake of both the bantamweight and flyweight divisions.

    A podcast worth sitting through 2 full YT ads. Gotta make sure MMA HEAT team gets the $$$. The dreaded unforced errors almost got KB in tennis. Glad she shook it off and won. For me Gus is the UFC's Karl Malone. Made his opponents better but never won a championship. I honestly feel Manuwa is the UFC's Melvin Manhouf. Looking forward to UFC 238. Honestly Eye doesn't have the 1 hitter quitter power to take out Val. I've got Valentina all the way. Also I want Marlon to leg kick Cejudo into oblivion. No more ChampChamps.
