UFC 310 RECAP, UFC 312 Reaction, Maycee Barber Interview | MORNING KOMBAT

No where better to go after a huge UFC card then right here for MORNING KOMBAT! Luke and BC are back in studio to break down all the big results from the weekend. In the main event, Alexandre Pantoja submitted a feisty, but overmatched Kai Asakura in the second round of Saturday's main event. If he can't get a Demetrious Johnson fight, what should be next for him? Is Pantoja the second-best flyweight of all time?  Plus, in a huge co-main event, Shavkat Rakhmonov earned the decision win over Ian Garry, but is it fair to say Garry's stock might've risen more than Rakhmonov's? They also react to the rest of the important results across the full card, including a win for Ciryl Gane, and a prelim loss for Aljamain Sterling.  Looking ahead, UFC 312 was announced and the guys react to the news that Sean Strickland is going to rematch Dricus du Plessis in the main event of UFC 312 in Australia. Was Khamzat Chimaev snubbed? While, Tatiana Suarez will face Zhang Weili in the co-main event for the women's flyweight title. Suarez had two fights cancelled in the UFC and is now moving into a title shot. Is that fair? Finally, Maycee Barber joins the show to update the guys on her return to the cage!

UFC Macau Recap: Petr Yan is BACK, Conor McGregor Trial Reaction

A slow weekend in the world of combat sports, but it doesn't mean MK takes days off. On this episode of MORNING KOMBAT, Luke and BC start by recapping a fun UFC Macau event. In the main event, Petr Yan reclaims elite status with a thrilling five-round win over Deiveson Figueiredo. After 4 losses in previous 6 bouts, the 31-year-old Yan looked completely reborn. Was this performance strong enough for UFC brass to consider Yan leapfrogging Umar Nurmagomedov for next shot at Merab Dvalishvilli's title? On the undercard, Yan Xiaonan was absolutely dominant in cooling off a not-ready-for-primetime Tabatha Ricci in Saturday's co-main event. Was this performance more about Yan reclaiming her elite, title-contending status or Tabatha Ricci proving she's not ready for primetime in what amounted to a step-up fight?  In non-fight news, Conor McGregor's civil trial ended with the MMA start being 'found liable of rape'. How much do you expect the fallout of this trial to affect both McGregor's behavior and his reputation/brand power moving forward? The guys react to the news . Finally, Bellator fighters call out PFL's handling of 2024. What does it mean? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
