UFC 290 Recap! Round-Up with Paul Felder & Michael Chiesa
Paul Felder and Michael Chiesa are back at it again on this episode of UFC Round-Up!
To start off the show, Michael gives an update on how camp is going in preparation for his bout against welterweight Kevin Holland at UFC 291 in a few weeks. Next, the guys give their initial thoughts and takeaways from this past Saturday’s UFC 290 PPV, including Alexander Volkanovski’s dominant win over Yair Rodriguez to unify the featherweight belt. Following that, the pair hit on the co-main event, where Alexandre Pantoja was able to win the flyweight belt over Brandon Moreno in a close fight which was one of the best fights of the year. Next, the duo break down Dricus Du Plessis’ upset win over middleweight Robert Whittaker.
Then, the duo answer 5 rounds of fan questions.
1. What is Ilia Topuria’s best game plan to beat Volk?
2. As much as I love Brandon Moreno and how much of a classic that fight was, time for some new blood. No immediate rematch, right?
3. What do you do with Bo Nickal at this point? He’s made easy work of everyone put in front of him so far but is still new to the sport. Do you continue a gradual ascent or toss him in the deep end with someone like Kelvin Gastelum or Jack Hermansson?
4. How difficult is it to fight with a broken or fractured bone and have you done that yourselves? Couldn’t believe Dan Hooker won that third round so handedly with the wrist break.
5. Do you think it’s more beneficial for a fighter to earn their way into the UFC through Dana White’s Contender Series or The Ultimate Fighter?
To wrap up the show, the guys give a shoutout to Robbie Lawler as he won his retirement fight against Niko Price by KO in 38 seconds.
