On this week’s episode of The Brit Pack, we look back at UFC Fight Night at the UFC Apex, as “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung showed his class and put himself right back in the title mix at 145 pounds.
We run down the card and highlight the top performers of the night in Las Vegas, before chatting about former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva’s superb performance as he showed some of his old “Spider” swagger in his victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
We also take a look ahead to Bellator 261 and UFC Fight Night in Vegas, as heavyweights take centre stage at the top of both cards, before discussing Ariel Helwani’s departure from ESPN and return to independent MMA coverage.
It’s another busy hour of chat, and we hope you’ll enjoy it.
