The legendary Brazilian Beast, Guilherme Cruz of MMA Fighting, returns to The Craic to discuss the somewhat left field booking of Alex Pereira vs. Khalil Rountree, which has earned the ire of light heavyweight contenders Magomed Ankalaev and Jamahal Hill.
Is the 307 main event “terrible for the sport” as claimed by Hill? Are the UFC trying to protect their “golden goose” by not matching him with Ankalaev?

Petesy also looks forward to a crucial Irish bout for Invicta champion Danni McCormack.
