Chin Check - 146 (Recap)

Well, the weekend definitely had some epic moments for everyone!

Friday 'BKFC' held their 'Knucklemania' PPV, with Paige VanZant vs Britain Hart as the headliner. A lot was thrown, but a lot was missed, not really a close fight, UNTIL the fifth round, where VanZant seemed to find her flow. And you do suspect, if she had fought the previous rounds with the same intent, things may have been a lot different!

Saturday though, we were back in the flow of things, as it was 'UFC on ESPN+ 42'.

and Ode Osbourne really got the night rocking as he scored the 26 second KO in the very first fight on the Prelims!

The next four fights had very solid performances from Timur Valiev, Seung Woo Choi, Lara Procópio, and Karol Rosa. Devonte Smith return to the Octagon was a damaging affair, as he closed Justin Jaynes' eye and got a doctor’s stoppage!

To start the Main card, Danilo Marques pulled off a slick rear naked choke finish and looks like he could definitely be a threat for the Light Heavyweight division.

The match up between Carlos Diego Ferreira & Beneil Dariush was a non stop war, and clearly earned its 'Fight of the Night' status!

BUT, it was all about the last two fights on the card, as fireworks were instore!

Cory Sandhagen did not wait long before he hit jump knee that could have put anyone away! And if coming into this fight, people thought the winner could be in line for the next title shot. This win took away any doubt that was there!!!

THEN, in the main, Alistair Overeem had said he had one last run in him, but it was also clear Alexander Volkov was prime for the next level of things. It was just a case of who claimed it and Volkov made it crystal clear that he's done playing. A second round right, left hook combination ended the Overeem's night in enpthatic fashion, but now leaves the question of "when". Cause with Jon Jones circling the winner of Stipe Miocic vs Francis Ngannou it does make things interesting.

AND on Sunday, Tom Brady's Tampa Bay Buccaneers challenged Patrick Mahomes Kansas City Chiefs in the LV, 'Super Bowl'!

So, let's break it all down, in today's (ep 146) @ChinCheckPod
