Edition number 59 of the SUPER FIGHTS Podcast. In this chapter, our team analyzed the most important things that moved the world of MMA last weekend. The highlights are Patrick Pitbull, who won A. J. McKee in revenge in Bellator 277, and the stumble of Vincent Luque, surpassed by Belal Muhammad | No. UFC Las Vegas 51.
Considered one of the greatest Brazilian representatives in the history of MMA, Pitbull lived up to his reputation as the 'king of rematches' and 'performed' yet another. Facing McKee, responsible for the loss of his title in July 2021, the native of Rio Grande do Norte showed progress and overcame the Bellator jewel in a unanimous decision by the judges, resuming the featherweight throne (up to 65,7kg).
Still at Bellator, the anticlimax in the final of the light heavyweight Grand Prix (up to 93kg) was also analyzed. In this ocasion, Corey anderson performed an unintentional headbutt that caused a deep cut on the champion Vadim nemkov. With the incident, the fight ended in a 'no contest', with no winner in the tournament and the Russian retaining the belt.
By Ultimate, Vincent Luque was unable to stop the pragmatic game of Belal Muhammad |. The fight represented a rematch between the athletes. In the first meeting, the Brazilian got the better of him, winning by knockout. In the reissue, better for the Palestinian, who managed to neutralize the Tupiniquim xodó and win on points after 25 minutes of combat.
For MMA fans, the week's agenda and main news were also presented. It's good to stay tuned, as the schedule has four events in the next few days.
