This is the Promotional Malpractice Live Chat.
Today on the podcast, we'll go into detail about this weekend's UFC card, UFC on FOX 25. We'll discuss the main event between Chris Weidman and Kelvin Gastelum as well as some of the other contests on the main card. In addition, now that we're twenty five UFC on FOX events deep, what's the biggest takeaway from the franchise's introduction to MMA? We'll discuss.
Now that we've had some time to digest it all, we'll talk about the good, bad and ugly of the Mayweather-McGregor World Tour. Did it change how fights will be promoted? What were the most successful aspects of the tour? And the least? Plus, what can we say we learned about both fighters heading into the August contest that perhaps we didn't know before?
There's also the HBO Real Sports special from reporter David Scott on Chechnya's military dictator Ramzan Kadyrov and his use of mixed martial arts as a political propaganda and military tool. Why does the UFC sign his fighters? Why do fighters and boxers continue to visit with him given documented human rights abuses? We'll cover this territory as well.
We'll also dig into the results from the weekend, be it UFC Glasgow, Bellator 181 or Invicta 24.
