UFC 289 Recap! Round-Up with Paul Felder & Michael Chiesa

Paul Felder and Michael Chiesa are back at it again on this episode of UFC Round-Up!

 

To start off the show, the guys give their initial thoughts and takeaways from this past Saturday’s UFC 289 PPV, including women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes defeating Irene Aldana in the main event and the pair also react to Nunes’ retirement announcement after the fight. In addition to that, the guys hit on lightweight Charles Oliveira’s impressive knockout victory against Beneil Dariush.

 

Then, the duo answer 5 rounds of fan questions.  

1. Are you at all disappointed that Amanda Nunes left after a fight where her opponent didn’t really give her anything back?  

2. Your overall thoughts on Oliveira’s performance? Do you see another match against Islam Makhachev going differently? What should be next for Beneil Dariush?

3. Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Charles Oliveira, undefeated vs. overall resume, who is the lightweight GOAT?

4. With do Bronx’s first-round knockout and Islam calling out Leon Edwards, this sets a bunch of possibilities. We could potentially see Islam vs. Khamzat Chimaev down the road. What makes the most sense for Islam?

5. Julianna Peña vs. Raquel Pennington for the vacant women’s bantamweight title? Also, is poutine Canada’s only food contributor to the world?

 

To wrap up the show, the guys look at this Saturday’s UFC Fight Night: Vettori vs. Cannonier card and Michael makes his prediction for the main event between middleweights Marvin Vettori and Jared Cannonier. The pair also discuss which fights they’re looking forward to on the card.
