Walk Out Network's video: The Living Show Ep 130: The Easy Way Out

Ant, Jay, and Ben dive right into the aftermath of an absolutely packed and quite controversial weekend in combat sports. Was the Liz Carmouche-Juliana Velasquez stoppage at Bellator 278 too quick? Is Jessica Andrade right back in line for a shot at the UFC strawweight belt? Did Mike Jackson play up the severity of Dean Barry's fouls? Are Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou really going to fight, or is this just a negotiation tactic by both men? those questions and many more are addressed, before the panel looks forward at the upcoming UFC and PFL events. Timestamped, because we love you. 0:00 Welcome 2:06 Jay's Stat of the Week: One massive underdog pulls off the upset, by hook or by crook ---------- BELLATOR HAWAII ---------- 3:55 Cris Cyborg beat up Arlene Blencowe at Bellator 279 to defend her featherweight title once again. Her contract might be up, and Bellator, PFL and even a UFC return loom as possibilities. What should be next for the legendary bruiser? Conversation about that boxing, kickboxing, and *that suplex* among other things, ensue. 16:15 Liz Carmouche scored a TKO of Juliana Velasquez at Bellator 278 to win the flyweight title, her first belt in a major promotion. Was the stoppage premature, and more to the point, was it a "girl stoppage?" ---------- UFC VEGAS 52 ---------- 23:50 Jessica Andrade returned to the 115-pound division with a historical first-round sub of Amanda Lemos. What should be next for the former champ? Is it title shot time already? Duffy makes his case. 30:14 Mike Jackson prevailed as a massive underdog on Saturday after three egregious first-round fouls by touted prospect Dean Barry. Did Jackson "take the easy way out," as Barry accused? Duffy mocks, Jay lays down the law, and Ant makes the case that it might not have been the easy way out at all. ---------- QUICK HITS ---------- You have 30 seconds (or less) to make your case! 39:41 [Ben] Raufeon Stots and Patrick Mix showed out in a big way at Bellator 279. Do you feel differently about the Bellator bantamweight grand prix now? 40:52 [Jay] Justine Kish spoiled Ilima-Lei Macfarlane's homecoming in Honolulu. Is Kish just that good, or is Macfarlane fading? 41:36 [Ant] Clay Guida lost at UFC Vegas 52, making him 2-4 in his last six. With his UFC contract reporedly up, what's next for "The Carpenter?" 43:15 [All] Bellator put on postlims after Saturday's main card. How did that make you feel? ---------- TYSON FURY vs. FRANCIS NGANNOU ---------- 45:34 Tyson Fury blew out Dillian Whyte on Saturday, then proclaimed his retirement, then posed for a photo op with UFC heavyweight champ Francis Ngannou, teasing a mixed-rules bout. What on earth is going to happen here, if anything? Discussions of Mayweather-McGregor and other smart-money spectacles ensues. ---------- I'M NOT SURPRISED, MISTER FALCONS ---------- 52:56 [Ben] Ben Rothwell signs with BKFC. The conversation somehow veers into discussion of disgusting Synthol freaks and married-couple OnlyFans pages. We're sorry. 57:36 [Jay] The UFC invades One Championship territory, brings back tournaments, and indirectly justifies our Fight Pass subscriptions. What? 58:59 [Ant] Nearly a decade on from his last in-cage appearance, Brian Stann remains the smartest, most sensible head in the game. ---------- PFL WEEK 2 ---------- 1:01:32 PFL is back with Week 2 of its regular season, featuring featherweights and heavyweights. Whom do you favor in each division, and who is your dark horse? ---------- UFC VEGAS 53 ---------- 1:12:15 Rob Font and Marlon Vera headline the UFC's next offering from the Apex. What's good on this card, outside of a banger main event? Discussion of the waning value of the "UFC on ESPN" handle ensues.
