| Jon Jones Retires, UFC 317 Lookahead, Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford Press Tour | 23 Jun 2025 | 02:11:12 | |
Two years after Tom Aspinall said he would retire Jon Jones without even fighting him, that's exactly what happened as UFC president Dana White relayed the news of Jones' exit at the UFC Baku postfight press conference. Less than one hour later, reports surfaced of a criminal summons filed in Albuquerque Metro Court accusing Jones of a misdemeanor charge of fleeing the scene of an accident in February. What does it say about Jones' true legacy that the end of such an unrivaled 17-year pro career would come in the most Jon Jones way possible? Minutes after announcing fans could expect double the amount of Dana White Contender Series cards in their next broadcasting deal, White quickly shot down any thought of Tom Aspinall vs. Francis Ngannou by disparaging Ngannou's integrity. How big would an Ngannou return be to repair all that was lost in Jones' title reign for the heavyweight division? Khalil Rountree Jr. dominated Jamahal Hill over five tactical rounds in a headlining bout to decide who's coming and who's going in the light heavyweight title picture. Rountree showed off the evolution of his maturity following a title loss to Alex Pereira by patiently picking apart Hill en route to three knockdowns and a wide victory by unanimous decision. How impressive was Rountree's performance? Plus, Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford embark upon a global press tour. And the fellas break down UFC 317 storylines. It's Morning Kombat Monday with Brian Campbell, Luke Thomas and the entire MK crew! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. | |||
| UFC 245! USMAN VS COVINGTON DELIVERS! HOLLOWAY BEATEN! NUNEZ TESTED! | 16 Dec 2019 | 01:20:16 | |
Mr. Campbell was up close and personal at UFC 245 as we all witnessed a great card with a fantastic main event which saw the two best welterweights in the world, champ Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington, both known for their wrestling, keep it on the feet for nearly five brutal rounds before the referee stopped the fight with less than a minute to go. What's next for Usman? Masvidal? What makes sense for Covington? Woodley? Max Holloway, considered by many to be the GOAT Featherweight, lost his title via decision to Alexander Volkanovski and Amanda Nunez was pushed to five tough rounds but came out victorious against Germaine de Randamie. In boxing we saw Terence Crawford get tested a bit before stopping Egidijus Kavaliauskas and the amazing Teofimo Lopez winning the Lightweight Title with a 2nd round KO over Ricard Commey...is he ready for Loma? Thank you to our great listeners for helping this show grow!

| JOSHUA RUIZ II, UFC DC, CHARLO KO AND COVINGTON VS USMAN | 09 Dec 2019 | 01:13:47 | |
Anthony Joshua makes about 85 million to box circles around an Andy Ruiz who said he didn't train hard enough and gained too much weight, WHAT? While we can't say his name properly, Rosenstruik had a controversial and impressive victory over future Hall of Famer, Alistair Overeem at UFC DC. Jermall Charlo has an impressive KO against Dennis Hogan, but when will he get a big fight? UFC 245 is upon us and BC is heading out there to cover the event. Unman vs Covington, who is going to win?

| CONOR IS BACK! CAN RUIZ DO IT AGAIN? KHABIB VS TONY, 5TH TIME A CHARM? | 02 Dec 2019 | 01:02:04 | |
It's the cam before the storm as we are getting prepared for some great Combat action to finish out 2019. First things first and that is the Conor vs Cowboy fight is official for January 18th at Welterweight. Should things go Conor's way, it will be interesting to see what's next. Maybe what is next is the winner of the Khabib vs Ferguson fight, which is being planned for the 5th time in April...hopefully the 5th time is a charm! Before that big title fight is the December 14th fight for the Welterweight Title between Usman and Covington on December 14th and last...and least is the Tito Ortiz vs Alberto El Patron fight for Combate Americas on December 7th. Over to boxing where we have the big rematch between Andy Ruiz and Anthony Joshua on December 7th...who knows what will happen there and remember, that fight should start around 4pm eastern. After that fight we also have Showtime Championship Boxing featuring Middleweight Champ Jermall Charlo defending against Dennis Hogan Saturday night! Enjoy Donks!

KSI beats Logan Paul via split decision in a celebrity fight that did big business for DAZN, but did it help shine a light on boxing?

UFC 244 is in the books and it delivered in a big way. Masvidal dominated for three rounds before the fight was stopped on cuts. Should the fight have been stopped and should there be a rematch? With this win, is Masvidal now fighter of the year for 2019?

| UFC Atlanta Recap: Usman Dominates Buckley, Rose Impresses, Dana White No Show | Morning Kombat | 16 Jun 2025 | 02:04:31 | |
Join Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell live in studio on a Morning Kombat Monday to go over all the biggest headlines from the weekend in combat sports. In the main event of UFC Atlanta, Kamaru Usman rather easily defeated Joaquin Buckley via unanimous decision. While Buckley rallied a bit in the fifth, it was too little, too late. Is the story of this fight that Usman was underrated or Buckley maybe a bit overrated? In Saturday's co-main event, Rose Namajunas ultimately overmatched Miranda Maverick. Was this the kind of performance from Rose that makes you believe she can become a champion again? The fellas go over other surprises from the UFC Atlanta card, plus boxing news as Richardson Hitchins stopped George Kambosas in the eighth round and Dana White isn't present for yet another UFC event.
