Chin Check - 176 (Recap)

The weekend’s action got started with the last Bellator for a few weeks. And have to say '257' main card was stolen by Corey Anderson steller performance. He pushed the pace and then stopped the fight early in the third.

The current Light Heavy Champion Vadim Nemkov got a pretty one sided win. BUT, you'd have to think that right now Anderson has made himself the one to beat in the 'Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix'.

Then 'Legacy Fighting Alliance' brought Friday home, with 'LFA 104'.

And it opened with a BANG, as Roland Dunlap kicked the doors off with a HUGE SLAM KO. And Thomas Petersen kept the momentum going with his first round KO win.

The card had solid fights, BUT, Javier Garcia and Yuma Horiuchi both snatched victory with come from behind submissions. Especially Garcia who was 11 seconds away from a clear decision loss!!!

'UFC on ESPN 22' did its thing Saturday night with a solid card, considering late fight cancellations.

The BIG standouts of the night were Tony Gravely who got the whole night going with his second round stoppage win. And then Gerald Meerschaert who may have saved his job with a first round rear naked choke submission! Both fighters picked up a bonus for their performances!

Jessica Penne came back from four years away to earn a well deserved victory!

Jacob Malkoun put on a wrestling clinic and Andrei Arlovski after stepping in on short notice, really did his thing with fast hands and slick foot work.

AND, in the Main event, Robert Whittaker REALLY put on a masterful performance and declaration that it’s time for 'The Reaper' to get back in there with 'Stylebender'.

So, let's break it all down, in today's (ep 176) @ChinCheckPod

- Bellator 257: Nemkov vs. Davis 2

- LFA 104: McKenzie vs. Phillips

- UFC on ESPN 22: Whittaker vs. Gastelum
