Mma On The Rocks

Many think it was an off week for MMA because there was no UFC - but The Professional Fighter's League and Bellator more than made up for the lack of the sport's top promotion. We break down PFL 6 and Bellator 204. We discuss the announcements of Bellator's welterweight grand prix and we also preview UFC Fight Night 135 in Lincoln, Nebraska. Cheers! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mmaontherocks/support

UFC 224 was under sold and over performed. One of the best cards of the year, tying the record for the second most finishes on a UFC card with 11. The main event was fairly one-sided in favor of the champion, Amanda Nunes, but the rest of the card was exciting from beginning to end. We also cover the main card of Bellator 199, which saw Ryan Bader advancing in the heavyweight tournament with a 15 second knockout of King Mo Lawal. Overall it was a great weekend of MMA, Mother's Day and lots of tequila - cheers! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mmaontherocks/support

Tony Ferguson pulls out of the main event of UFC 223 against Khabib Nurmagomedov and we prayed the card would be saved somehow.
