UFC 285 Recap: Is Jon Jones The GOAT? | Figueroa Def. Magsayo | Ep 415
Episode 415 of Morning Kombat is an EPIC one. The boys recap a wild weekend of combat sports, starting with a massive night at UFC 285. Who is the greatest of all-time fighter in MMA? While some consider it to be Jones after his UFC 285 victory, others disagree and suggest it belongs to GSP. Does Erin Blanchfield deserves the next title shot at the women's UFC flyweight belt after Aalentina Shevchenko got upset by Alexa Grasso. After Shavkat Rakhmonov's win over Geoff Neal at UFC 285, he called for a title shot. Should he get the winner of UFC 286's Leon Edwards vs. Kamaru Usman? In boxing, Brandon Figueroa earned the unanimous decision victory over Mark Magsayo, but was the fight closer than the scorecards indicated?
