E2 -UFC 204 Recap – UFC 205 – Conor McGregor – Ronda Rousey & Cyborg

MMA Fancast – Oct 9, 2016 – UFC 205 & Conor McGregor

Note – this is what was scheduled to be the podcast topics. This may not be exactly the content of the podcast, only a guideline for potential discussion.

• UFC 204 recap – This podcast was recorded immediately upon the completion of UFC 204. We got immediate reaction from the crew at Octagon 24/7 on a fight card that certainly delivered and exceeded the expectations of many. Bisping’s 5 round war with Dan Henderson, Gegard Mousasi’s destruction of Vitor Belfort, Jimi Manuwa surviving the early onslaught of Ovince St. Preux to get the TKO in the second round, Stephan Stuve getting the choke submission out of Daniel Omielańczuk
• Will Rhonda return? When? What is the delay? Why is she the draw she is? Dana White says she’s still the biggest draw in UFC, is this still the case? How is she a bigger draw than Conor McGregor?
• Cyborg is still calling out Rhonda. Should this fight happen? Is Rhonda ducking? Is Cyborg beatable?
• Death of Josh Samman. He was quite a unique person, a fighter who loved the sport in such a pure way that he was also a fan who guest blogged on several sites and wrote a book.
• Cerrone talking smack on Conor McGregor, is he just doing a good job of keeping his name out there or has Conor McGregor got under his skin?
• Anderson Silva is next fighter “disappointed” by UFC
• Gall and Northcutt to fight at UFC on Fox in Dec. Mickey Gall is the 100% Unofficial Favorite Fighter of Octagon 24/7
• UFC Manila (Oct 15) cancelled due to Penn injury. Should the UFC have cards that cannot withstand an injury to one person?
• UFC 203 experience, stories, etc. The staff of Octagon 24/7’s journey began at UFC 203 and will continue at UFC 205. While the excitement for UFC 205 is extremely high, it is due to the expereince of the staff at UFC 203. We hold this event near and dear to our hearts and we will continue to share the stories that came from this experience.
•  Looking ahead, Nov 5 TUF Final mention – Nov 5, UFC 205 NYC, Closing
