In The Clinch - Empty Apex for Dern Vs. Yan | Raul Rojas Jr.

Ryan Frederick and Paul Fontaine are back to talk about the week that was and is to come in the world of MMA. A story that was starting to break as the guys recorded is that there will be no fans or media members at the Apex this coming weekend for the ESPN+ show headlined by Mackenzie Dern and Xiaonan Yan in a strawweight fight. The reasons are unknown at this time but more should come out as the week progresses. Before getting into that, the guys talk about the stunning debut of Raul Rojas Jr, the 17 year old who won a UFC contract on Dana White's Contender Series this past week. They then go over a few of the non-UFC shows in a busy upcoming week in MMA including One FC's second show on Amazon Prime featuring Angela Lee in the main event. They then preview a deep UFC card from the Apex with a lot of familiar names and Ryan gives his 3 fights to watch while picks 3 fights that you should be betting on this week. They close off with a busy slate of news including Conor McGregor still not being tested by USADA for some reason, a couple of UFC fighters who were and got suspended and the return of John Hathaway who has not fought since 2014.  Join the Patreon for just $5.00 per month here: https://www.patreon.com/fightgamemedia Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/fightgamemedia Join our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1958473677605950 Follow our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/fightgamemedia Subscribe to our YouTube Page: https://www.youtube.com/c/FightGameMedia Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fightgamemedia Learn more about your ad choices.
