Josh & Paul Fontaine talk about the second quarter of 2022 MMA action.
The second installment in the annual Josh Nason’s Punch-Out MMA year in review series has arrived with a look at April, May and June 2022.
Joining me as always is F4Wonline writer & Fight Game Media podcaster Paul Fontaine. I scanned nearly 1500 headlines to find the top news stories, fight results, rumors and such to find the best of the bunch.
Leading the pack is the controversy around May’s UFC 274 which saw the first-ever UFC champion lose their title on the scale as lightweight kingpin Charles Oliveira missed by half a pound. We discuss what happened, the fallout, and what happened in the fight itself.
That show also featured one of the most boring UFC title fights in UFC history followed by one of the most exciting in company history just a month later.
We also talk about some Bellator headlines, including AJ McKee losing the featherweight title to rival Patricio Pitbull in their rematch.
Hear all that and more on this hour-long episode looking back at the second quarter of MMA in 2022.
