Chin Check - 139 (Pt 2 - Preview)
We're one sleep away from the first PPV of the year AND, the close of this run on Fight Island!
There was a LOT of drama that went down, but, luckily we only lost one fight!
At the start of the night Movsar Evloev gets a chance to really show where he's at. As he faces the vet Nik Lentz who we know won't just lay down to die.
It will be interesting to see who from Julianna Peña vs Sara McMann is going to be able to possibly get back to that Bantamweight title.
And Matt Frevola & Arman Tsarukyan did come to the island to fight each other, things just fell that way. So can Frevola make Tsarukyan's weight miss work against him. Or will the Armenian add a new name to his hit list!
Amanda Ribas and Marina Rodriguez get the Main card going, and this fight will tell us, is Ribas the star we think she's going to be.
Then Jessica Eye and Joanne Calderwood get to settle their bad blood and maybe get another title shot whilst doing it.
The Co-main finally sees Michael Chandler step into the Octagon and all eyes are on him. He wants to win big, fight the winner of the main, and then grab that title. However, Dan Hooker has a completely different narrative on his mind. And after training with the best, he's aiming to show that he's not peripheral, he's the whole damn show!
Then, it took six years for them to get back at it, BUT, Dustin Poirier & Conor McGregor square up. Dustin feels he's a different fighter from the first time. BUT, Conor isn't here to play games, he's here to take over!!!
Today's (ep 139b) @ChinCheckPod previews all the action, so let's get with it!
