In The Clinch - UFC 281 Preview | Adesanya Vs. Pereira | UFC Betting Scandal?

Ryan Fredericks and Paul Fontaine are back to go over the week that was and is to come in the world of MMA. This past weekend at the Apex, we saw a new strawweight contender emerge as Amanda Lemos scored an impressive KO win on ESPN+ over Marina Rodriguez. She tied the UFC record for finishes in the strawweight division and likely earned a shot at whoever emerges from this coming weekend's UFC 281 PPV as champion between Weili Zhang and Carla Esparza. Speaking of that show, the guys do an extensive preview of it, headlined by Israel Adesanya defending his middleweight title against the only man to ever knock him out in combat sports Alex Pereira, who holds two wins over Adesanya in kickboxing. In the question of the week segment, the guys speculate on how Ben Askren would've done if he'd coming into UFC during his prime instead of hte end of his career and in the "We Have to Talk About Segment", the guys discuss an emerging scandal involving betting that is currently being looked into by UFC and it's regulating bodies. The news of the week features a main event for the UFC's upcoming South Korea show, the Mackhachev/Volkanovski upcoming fight being in jeopardy and Sean O'Malley looking for an interim title fight.  Learn more about your ad choices.
