WOR: Larry Matysik, Chuck Vs. Tito 3, UFC Beijing, TakeOver: Blackpool, more

It’s Wrestling Observer Radio with Dave Meltzer and myself, guest co-host Garrett Gonzales.

The show begins with Dave updating everyone on Larry Matysik’s health and then he goes into Larry’s history in the wrestling business. After that, we discuss Golden Boy MMA’s PPV featuring the return of Chuck Liddell against Tito Ortiz and also the return of our own Filthy Tom Lawlor against Deron Winn. We talk about other situations in MMA and boxing history that are comparable to Chuck Liddell fighting on this show.

Dave talks about what he’s seen on the UFC Beijing Fight Pass show, including the main event and semi-main and then the news on Anderson Silva’s next fight against Israel Adesanya. We then look at HBO’s World Championship Boxing going off the air soon, NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool, new Wrestle Kingdom 13 matchups, WWE’s Starrcade Network special, and give injury updates on Fenix and Marufuji.
