In the Pocket MMA

Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier return at UFC 264 in one of the biggest trilogy fights to date. Will Conor McGregor be able to adjust in the ways necessary to get the win? Will Dustin Poirier be able to stay one step ahead of Conor once again? In this episode, we take a deep dive into how we think this final fight might go down, but we'll also take a look at the matchups between Gilbert Burns vs Stephen Wonderboy Thompson, Tai Tuivasa vs Greg Hardy, and Sean O'Malley vs newcomer Kris Moutinho. But also, what's the deal with an interim Heavyweight title fight between Derrick Lewis and Ciryl Gane?? Isn't Francis Ngannou willing and able to fight for the title??? We explore a bit on what might be happening there as well. Hope everyone is as PUMPED about UFC 264 this weekend as we are!

UFC 262 headlines Michael Chandler vs Charles Oliveira - two fighters we wouldn’t have expected to be fighting next for the UFC Lightweight title after Khabib Nurmagomedov officially retired and gave up the belt, but honestly this is still a VERY interesting fight and should be fun nonetheless! But let’s not forget Tony Ferguson vs Beneil Dariush and Jack Hermansson vs Edmen Shahbazyan, which should be a blast too. We’ll give our predictions on these three matchups on the main card - do you agree with our picks???    Before we make our predictions though, we’ll give our quick thoughts on the main and co-main events of the last PPV event, UFC 261 with Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Masvidal and Rose Namajunas vs Zhang Weili.    Have fun with us as we look back at the events this past weekend and look forward towards UFC 262! —   Get 10% OFF XMARTIAL rash guards and training equipment with code itpmma at https://www.xmartial.com/?ref=ITPMMA    In The Pocket MMA is partnered with XMARTIAL, a North American based premier martial arts gear brand!

UFC 261 once again hits us with 3 TITLE FIGHTS all in one card! The rematch between Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal for the Welterweight Title is one surrounded in bad blood and plenty of shit talk between the two. Zhang Weili looks to defend her Strawweight Title against former Strawweight queen Rose Namajunas. And Valentina Shevchenko might be facing her toughest Flyweight challenge to her title in Jessica Andrade. But before we jump into all that goodness, we need to recap the awesome fight that Robert Whittaker put on against Kelvin Gastelum, and we’d imagine that sets Bobby Knuckles up for a rematch with current Middleweight king, Israel “The Last Stylebender” Adesanya. Oh and that Jake Paul vs Ben Askren boxing match… yeah we have some words on that too. Have fun with us as we look back at the events this past weekend and look forward towards UFC 261!

UFC 259 IS A BLOCKBUSTER EVENT! How incredible is it that this card not only headlines with Israel Adesanya vs Jan Blachowicz, a champion vs champion super fight at Light Heavyweight, but also Amanda Nunes vs Megan Anderson AND Petr Yan vs Aljamain Sterling?? Four champions, 3 title fights, just incredible. Btw, we didn’t even yet mention Islam Makhachev vs Drew Dober and Thiago Santos vs Aleksandar Rakic also fighting on the main card. Because this upcoming event is so ridiculously good, we’re devoting this whole 80th episode of In The Pocket solely to Pocket Predictions. That’s correct, a breakdown and prediction of every fight on this main card. This Saturday could not come soon enough.

[Timestamps below]   FIRST PPV OF THE YEAR LETS GO! MMA is going big this weekend as the sport’s biggest star Conor McGregor runs it back with Dustin Poirier to see who stands at the top of 155 now that Khabib has “retired.” This is such an awesome fight and honestly not a rematch I was expecting us to see again but I’m definitely not complaining that it’s happening, not by any means! Both men have grown and have had successful careers since they first met, but does the outcome change this time around?   Michael Chandler sets foot on UFC soil as he makes his promotional debut against fan favorite Dan Hooker! Chandler is definitely not getting an easy first fight out, but then again, who ever really does in the UFC?   Thanks for watching – please like and subscribe if you’re enjoying the daily MMA content!   TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - SHOW INTRO 0:34 - “IF YOU DON’T LIKE Max Holloway THEN YOU’RE A HATER” 9:40 - MMA Q OF THE D 10:25 - CONOR MCGREGOR VS DUSTIN POIRIER PREDICTIONS 20:55 - DAN HOOKER VS MICHAEL CHANDLER PREDICTIONS   IN THE POCKET is the fastest growing MMA channel on the internet!   SUPPORT IN THE POCKET: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/INTHEPOCKETMMA Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4O739ctq4bPTXdPteFRcUf Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-the-pocket-mma/id1499166529 Website: https://www.inthepocketmma.com    FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Instagram: @in_the_pocket_mma Twitter: @InThePocketMMA   Artist Credits: Dominic Figuro | dominicfiguro.com | Thumbnails Audrey Zheng | Instagram: @compaudrey | Intro Card Alex Vuong | Channel Art Justin Sun | Music

[Timestamps below]   The ITP team really enjoyed UFC 251 and all the action + drama that came with it! Personally I thought that Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Masvidal was an intriguing tactical clash between two styles, but I can see where people were disappointed with it. Alexander Volkanovski vs Max Holloway 2 was intense as hell and regardless of who you think won the fight, it was an instant classic of a co-main event. Petr Yan secured his first UFC belt against a very tough and game Jose Aldo and we also saw Rose Namajunas avenge her loss to Jessica Andrade!   On this episode of In The Pocket, we also look ahead and predict the upcoming fights from this week’s UFC cards including Calvin Kattar vs Dan Age, Joseph Benavidez vs Deiveson Figuereido 2, and Kelvin Gastelum vs Jack Hermansson!   As always, thank you very much for watching – please subscribe if you enjoyed!   TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - INTRO 0:56 - KAMARU USMAN HIS WAY TO THE WIN OVER JORGE MASVIDAL 8:09 - ALEXANDER VOLKANOVSKI PICKS UP A CONTROVERSIAL W IN BLESSED REMATCH 12:58 - JOSE ALDO LOOKED GOOD, BUT WASN’T GOOD ENOUGH FOR PETR YAN 16:01 - DID ROSE IMPRESS IN HER WIN AGAINST ANDRADE? 18:37 - FIGHT FORECAST - UFC 251 EDITION 22:39 - CALVIN KATTAR VS DAN IGE PREDICTIONS 25:43 - JOSEPH BENAVIDEZ VS DEIVESON FIGUREIDO 2 PREDICTIONS 29:24 - KELVIN GASTELUM VS JACK HERMANSSON PREDICTIONS   IN THE POCKET is the fastest growing MMA channel on the internet!   SUPPORT IN THE POCKET: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/INTHEPOCKETMMA Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4O739ctq4bPTXdPteFRcUf Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-the-pocket-mma/id1499166529 Website: https://www.inthepocketmma.com   FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Instagram: @in_the_pocket_mma Twitter: @InThePocketMMA   Artist Credits: Dominic Figuro | dominicfiguro.com | Thumbnails Audrey Zheng | Instagram: @compaudrey | Intro Card Alex Vuong | Channel Art Justin Sun | Music

[Timestamps below]   Curtis Blaydes and Alexander Volkov definitely did their thing on Saturday night, but I think we can all agree that the fight that stole the show was undoubtedly Josh Emmett & Shane Burgos’s 3 round war in the night’s co-main event.

[Timestamps below]   UFC 250 was beyond awesome. Amanda Nunes absolutely walked through Felicia Spencer over the course of 25 minutes and the uncontested p4p #1 remains uncontested. Cody Garbrandt sleeping Raphael Assuncao was frightening, but I’m very happy to see Cody back in the win column. I’m still surprised that Aljamain Sterling dominated Cory Sandhagen the way that he did but hey fair play to him. Lastly Sean O’ Malley just continues to excel, man. Up is the only way his trajectory is going!   As always, thank you very much for watching – please subscribe if you enjoyed!   TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - INTRO 0:49 - THERE WAS NEVER REALLY MUCH HOPE FOR FELICIA SPENCER 5:34 - KODY GETS A KOTY CANDIDATE AGAINST RAPHAEL ASSUNCAO 10:22 - ALJAMAIN STERLING MANDHANDLES CORY SANDHAGEN IN 90 SECONDS 13:14 - SEAN O’ MALLEY BURNS EDDIE WINELAND IN THE FIRST ROUND 16:36 - PHILLIP’S FIGHT NIGHT AWARDS - UFC 250 EDITION 18:17 - POCKET PREDICTIONZ - CYNTHIA CALVILLO V JESSICA EYE       IN THE POCKET is the fastest growing MMA channel on the internet!   SUPPORT IN THE POCKET: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/INTHEPOCKETMMA Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4O739ctq4bPTXdPteFRcUf Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-the-pocket-mma/id1499166529 Website: https://www.inthepocketmma.com   FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Instagram: @in_the_pocket_mma Twitter: @InThePocketMMA   Artist Credits: Dominic Figuro | dominicfiguro.com | Thumbnails Audrey Zheng | Instagram: @compaudrey | Intro Card Alex Vuong | Channel Art Justin Sun | Music

[Timestamps below]   Oh man, my expectations for Tyron Woodley’s return weren’t even that high and I was still heavily let down. Nonetheless, Gilbert Burns had a star making performance against Woodley and he’s right on the cusp of his first UFC title shot.   In this episode of ITP, we also take a deep dive into the electrifying UFC 250 card – is Amanda Nunes going to continue her double champ reign of terror over Felicia Spencer?

[Timestamps below]   Man this has been a weird week for me. My computer actually broke on Tuesday so I've been offline for the last few days. Only was just able to edit out this episode of ITP. Unfortunately I lost a lot of my Kamaru Usman footage for his upcoming PocketDocs –– oh well, just gotta start over.   Regardless, we're back to daily uploads, thanks for being patient with us! In this episode of ITP the Boiz discuss the upcoming UFC main event between Tyron Woodley vs Gilbert Burns!

[Timestamps below]   7 days, 3 UFC events! What a time to be alive ladies and gentlemen. In this episode of ITP the boiz discuss the ever controversial fight that is Glover Teixeira v Anthony Smith. As you already know I think it was a travesty of a fight, but I’d like to hear your thoughts on it of course. We also analyze the heavyweight clash between Alistair Overeem vs Walt Harris! Harris was SO CLOSE to getting an incredible victory but it just wasn’t meant to be. I hope he comes back stronger!   Finally, we end the show with a game of MMA Overrated/Underrated – prepare to be triggered!   Thank you for watching!     TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - INTRO 2:10 - ANTHONY SMITH LOST THE FIGHT BUT HE’S NOT THE LOSER 10:55 - OVEREEM SHOWS HIS LEGEND STATUS AND KO’S HARRIS 16:09 - HELP ME THINK OF A NEW NAME FOR PUTP I DON’T LIKE IT ANYMORE 16:37 - PICKING UP THE PIECES 18:47 - MMA OVERRATED/UNDERRATED   IN THE POCKET is the fastest growing MMA podcast on the internet!   SUPPORT IN THE POCKET: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/INTHEPOCKETMMA Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4O739ctq4bPTXdPteFRcUf Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-the-pocket-mma/id1499166529 Website: https://www.inthepocketmma.com   FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Instagram: @in_the_pocket_mma Twitter: @InThePocketMMA

[Timestamps below]   Heads up – the audio got messed up on this episode. Will be fixed next episode!   When it’s all said and done, I really think that UFC 249 was nothing short of a massive success. Every single fight was entertaining and after everything that the world has gone through the last couple of weeks, I’m grateful that the card went down the way it did. Justin Gaethje vs Tony Ferguson was incredible and I respect both men so much for their performances. Henry Cejudo put a stamp on his win against Dominick Cruz with a fierce KO victory then surprised the world by retiring from MMA. Francis Ngannou is terrifying.   The Boiz also take a look at the 2 MAIN EVENTS this week in Anthony Smith v Glover Texeira & Walt Harris vs Alistair Overeem!

[Timestamps below]   At long last, the UFC is back with UFC 249!! Controversies aside, I am happy to see this event take place and I take it as a welcome somewhat return to normalcy.   In this exciting episode of In the Pocket, the Pocket Boiz predict the main card of UFC 249 including TONY FERGUSON V JUSTIN GAETHJE, HENRY CEJUDO V DOMINICK CRUZ, Francis Ngannou v Jairzinho Rozenstruik, and more!

[Timestamps below]     Looking back at it, UFC 207 was an extremely underrated card that saw a ton of movement in the 135lb divisions, both male and female: Amanda Nunes took off Ronda Rousey’s head and taught her a lesson in what real striking actually is, Cody Garbrandt stunned dominant champ Dominick Cruz to steal the title by a clear margin, and TJ Dillashaw put on a masterful performance against John Lineker! It really was a fantastic card.     We also make predictions for MAX HOLLOWAY v TONY FERGUSON –– let’s hope this fight can happen sooner rather than later!       TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - INTRO 1:54 - FIGHT FLASHBACK - UFC 207 2:07 - FIGHT FLASHBACK - NUNES STEAMROLLS RONDA (“HEAD MOVEMENT!!”) 6:28 - FIGHT FLASHBACK - CODY GARBRANDT STUNS DOMINICK CRUZ AND THE WORLD 15:28 - FIGHT FLASHBACK - TJ DILLASHAW MAKES IT LOOK EASY AGAINST JOHN LINEKER 19:57 - TONY FERGUSON V MAX HOLLOWAY PEREDICTIONS       IN THE POCKET is the fastest growing MMA podcast on the internet!   SUPPORT IN THE POCKET: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/INTHEPOCKETMMA Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4O739ctq4bPTXdPteFRcUf Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-the-pocket-mma/id1499166529 Website: https://www.inthepocketmma.com     FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Instagram: @in_the_pocket_mma Twitter: @InThePocketMMA

[Timestamps below]   UFC 202 featuring Conor McGregor v Nate Diaz 2 was an monumental event where we saw an instant classic 5 round war in the main event. The main card also a handful of exciting finish wins.   In this episode of ITP the Pocket Boiz also take a deep dive into a hypothetical clash between middleweight champion Israel Adesanya vs Jon Jones – the lightheavyweight champion of the world.   TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - INTRO 1:41 - FIGHT FLASHBACK - UFC 202 2:14 - FIGHT FLASHBACK - CONOR & NATE GO TO WAR 10:56 - FIGHT FLASHBACK - RUMBLE JOHNSON SENDS GLOVER TEIXEIRA TO SPACE 13:32 - FIGHT FLASHBACK - COWBOY CERRONE HITS LEGENDARY COMBO KO 18:35 - FIGHT FLASHBACK - SOME MORE UFC 202 TALK 19:28 - ISRAEL ADESANYA V JON JONES PREDICTIONS SUPPORT IN THE POCKET: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/INTHEPOCKETMMA Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4O739ctq4bPTXdPteFRcUf Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-the-pocket-mma/id1499166529 Website: https://www.inthepocketmma.com   FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Instagram: @in_the_pocket_mma Twitter: @InThePocketMMA   Artist Credits: Dominic Figuro | dominicfiguro.com | Thumbnails Audrey Zheng | Instagram: @compaudrey | Intro Card Alex Vuong | Channel Art Justin Sun | Music

ITP 60   [Timestamps below]   The UFC show might not be going on, but In the Pocket is! I’m actually really excited to dissect some classic fights that happened before we started doing ITP, and this week we’re starting with UFC 200! Join us as we look back at the historic PPV that saw Amanda Nunes claim her first UFC belt against Miesha Tate, the return of Brock Lesnar, and featherweight showdown between Jose Aldo & Frankie Edgar!   We’re also making some not-so-fantasy predictions for strawweight champion Zhang Wei Li and former champ Rose Namajunas.

It's good to be back! In this return "half pocket" episode of ITP, we discuss the wild twists and turns that have lead us to UFC 249, taking place on April 18th at an undisclosed location in the United States.   COVID-19 has affected the world greatly the last few weeks, and personally I'm really happy to see the world of MMA being able to overcome and adapt over these uncertain times.

[Timestamps below]   When it's all said and done, UFN 170 might go down in history as the QUIETEST UFC event in MMA history – and that counts for something! Charles Oliveira absolutely shined this past weekend and he's officially cemented himself as a contender at lightweight! Kevin Lee might have sang his swan song as he takes another difficult loss. Let's see how he returns. We also saw Gilbert Burns beat Demian Maia + Nikita Krylov grind a win over Johnny Walker!

[Timestamps below] First and foremost, I just wanna thank the 2 warriors from the People’s Main Event, Zhang Wei Li & Joanna Jedrzeczyk for putting on one of the very best fights that this sport has ever seen. On behalf of the Pocket Productions crew, thank you for putting it all on the line for us. And when it’s all said and done, I don’t think that the main event fight of UFC 248 between Israel Adesanya was terrible, but both (or maybe just one) guys performances left a whole lot to be desired. Also, It was awesome seeing Sean O’ Malley back.

Yo yo yo hope everyone is having a great week so far. Unfortunately Joey Benavidez wasn’t able to fulfill the prophecy this past weekend so we’re left without a flyweight champion for the time being. In much brighter news, UFC 248 is this weekend and the P. Boiz take a look at the top 2 fights on the bill. Is Israel Adesanya vs Yoel Romero going to be as electric as everyone hopes? Weili Zhang versus Joanna Champion is almost guaranteed fun. We predict these fights and more in this episode – thanks for watching!

[Timestamps Below] What a great weekend of fights! Dan Hooker vs Paul Felder was one for the ages. If Paul Felder does indeed to retire, I salute him – he's an icon in the sport, no doubt.  Tyson Fury looked incredible against Deontay Wilder – is it time to matchup Fury and Anthony Joshua?

[Timestamps Below]   Jan smoking Corey in 1 round despite almost everyone (myself included) saying Corey would win by UD is exactly why I love MMA so much!   The Pocket Boiz take a rare look at boxing to give our non-expert opinions on Wilder v Fury 2!

[Timestamps Below]   I eat every single word that I said about Dominick Reyes – the man took it to Jon Jones for (arguably) 3 rounds straight! In this episode of ITP we discuss the intensity that was Jon Jones v Dominick Reyes, if the decision was truly a "robbery", and if Jon's status of LHW king is in danger. Also Schevchenko is undoubtedly the nastiest 125 fighter in the world.   We also take a look at the very exciting (title eliminator?) matchup between Corey Anderson & Jan Blachowicz at UFN 167!

[Timestamps Below] Curty B looked great on Saturday in his main event showing against Junior Dos Santos. Nothing but props to him and I'm really looking forward to seeing his next fight! It only felt right to speak about the passing of Kobe on this episode. Not only are both of us really inspired by Kobe's legacy, there's an almost certain chance that someone you yourself look up see Kobe as one of their biggest role models. I'm not a basketball fan, but I was and am a Kobe fan. Rest in paradise.

[Timestamps Below]   How nasty were those shoulder strikes from Conor on Saturday? I predict at least 2 more shoulder strike-induced broken noses by the end of the year (bet). Anyways, forever and always tipping my hat to the legend that is Donald Cowboy Cerrone – it hasn't been the best of times for the man but I'll support him in whatever he decides to do from here!
