On Round 23 of Inside the Clinch, John and Eric break down the historic UFC 261 Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Masvidal. This card had 3 title fights including Jorge Usman vs Kamaru Masvidal, Wei Li Zhang vs Rose Namajunas, and Valentina Schevchenko vs Jessica Andrade. Also on the card was former UFC champion Chris Weidman who took Uriah Hall in rematch which did not go as planned. To kick off the main event, former LHW title challenger Anthony Smith took on a young Jimmy Crute. Similarly this fight did not go as planned for Crute, and we break it all down.UFC Fight Night this Saturday is low-key stacked!Dominick Reyes (12-2) will be taking on Jiri Prochazka (27-3-1) in a LHW bout. After KO’ing Weidman in 2019, Reyes has lost consecutively to Jon Jones (controvesial) and more recently to the Polish Power aka LHW champ @jan . Prochazka, the former @rizen champion is currently on a 11-fight win streak and is as tough as they come. In the co-main, we have Georgias Giga Chikadze (12-2) who will be taking on fan-favorite and UFC veteran Cub Swanson (27-11). Chikadze is an exciting fighter currently on a 7-fight win streak and is extremely dangerous on the feet. In my opinion, this fight is ‘stepping stone’ fight for Chikadze. A win over Swanson will surely get him more widely recognized by the MMA community. This and the remainder of the card is discussed on this weeks edition of Inside the Clinch. Website: Insidetheclinch.comContact us: info@insidetheclinch.comBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!
