BTL: McGregor speaks, Usyk beats Fury, UFC Vegas 92 and Bellator Paris, UFC star building
Conor McGregor has had quite a bit to say over the past few days on the build to his UFC 303 main event with Michael Chandler, and a lot of names were mentioned — both positive and negative. Have the comments from the UFC’s biggest star led you to feel any differently about his fight with Chandler, as well as his future?
On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel reacts to McGregor’s recent Q&A, the comments that he’s made, where he would go with a win over Chandler, and a possible welterweight title fight vs. Leon Edwards if the champ retains against Belal Muhammad at UFC 304. Additionally, topics include Oleksander Usyk’s massive win over Tyson Fury this past Saturday in Saudi Arabia to become boxing’s undisputed heavyweight champion, the fallout from UFC Vegas 92 and Bellator Paris, Dana White being compared to past NBA commissioner David Stern in regards to building stars in MMA, and much more.
Host Mike Heck moderates the matchup between MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew and José Youngs.
