Walk Out Network's video: The Living Death Show Ep 129: Foul Weather Indeed

Ant, Jay, and Ben are back, and there's plenty to discuss, what with the frankly bizarre and controversy-laden UFC Vegas 51 and Bellator 277. Is Belal Muhammad a legitimate title contender now? Were the two foul-induced technical decisions on the UFC card handled correctly by the referee? Should there be any repercussions from Mounir Lazzez shouting out wanted criminal Daniel Kinahan in his postfight interview? Did the outcomes of the Pitbull-McKee and Nemkov-Anderson title fights represent an overall blow to Bellator? After tackling those questions and many others, the panel turned its collective gaze forward, to a packed week in MMA including UFC Vegas 52 (Lemos vs. Andrade), Bellator's Hawaii doubleheader (278 and 279), and the opening date of PFL's 2022 season. Timestamped as always, because we value and appreciate you. 0:00 Welcome 1:18 Jay's Stat of the Week: One unprecedented set of judges' decisions ---------- BELAL MUHAMMAD ---------- 2:09 Belal Muhammad wrestled his way to a win over Vicente Luque on Saturday. With his unbeaten streak now sitting at eight straight, is "Remember the Name" close to a title shot, and how much has his grinding fight style slowed his rise? A lively discussion of MMA's best boring weight class ensues. ---------- DAN MIRAGLIOTTA ---------- 13:24 UFC Vegas 51 was plagued by fouls, including two that were severe enough to end their respective fights. Both went to technical decision, both ended up being won by the fighter who committed the foul, and Dan Miragliotta happened to be on the job for both. Did he handle them correctly? A didactic yet mild-mannered Ben rant ensues. ---------- MOUNIR LAZZEZ ---------- 24:14 After his win over Ange Loosa on Saturday, Mounir Lazzez grabbed the mic from Daniel Cormier and shouted out Daniel Kinahan, who happens to be a wanted man. What repercussions, if any, should he face? Praise for MMA reported Al Dawson and discussion of keeping your damn mouth shut ensues. Friend of the show Matt Hunter gets some love at 30:43. As promised, a three-minute primer on the G code: https://youtu.be/YqJwKLjMnZs ---------- BELLATOR 277 ---------- 34:58 Bellator 277 featured two massive title fights: A.J. McKee vs. Patricio Pitbull 2, and the Vadim Nemkov-Corey Anderson LHW Grand Prix final. Did the results of those fights represent a serious setback for Bellator, or is everything fine? Disagreement ensues, and for once, Ben isn't the odd man out. ---------- QUICK HITS ---------- You have 30 seconds (or less) to make your point! 52:42 Antonio McKee's corner advice to Junior; Aaron Pico's resurgence; Pannie Kianzad's bantamweight upside; a tale of two retirements (Marlon Moraes; Tsuyoshi Kosaka) ---------- I'M NOT SURPRISED, MISTER FALCONS ---------- 58:32 [Ben] Drakkar Klose seeing red 1:00:20 [Jay] The Story of Jerry; or The Craziest Little Town in Guatemala 1:02:01 [Ant] Jake Paul poking at Michael Bisping ---------- PFL SEASON OPENER ---------- 1:03:00 PFL's 2022 season kicks off this week with lightweights and light heavyweights. Who is your frontrunner and your dark horse for the $1 million prize in each of those divisions? ---------- BELLATOR HAWAII ---------- 1:08:49 Bellator 278 and 279 take place Friday and Saturday in Honolulu, and both cards are pretty deep. What do you think of the pair of women's title fight headliners, and what else is good? ---------- UFC VEGAS 52 ---------- 1:13:49 Amanda Lemos and Jessica Andrade headline this weekend's card at the Apex. Which fight stands out from this lineup?
