About This Episode
Scott Holburn joined the Complete Sports media team to discuss the UFC as usual and Covid 19 a it reared its ugly head again. The UFC was on a one week break in action but still dominated the headlines over the weekend. One half of the scheduled main event had to pull out because of a positive Covid 19 test result. Gilbert Burns was one of the latest unfortunate victim of the pandemic. The initial reports were that the fight was cancelled or at best postponed. Kamara Usman has the Welterweight Championship 170 lb belt and was trying to defend it for the second time. The original opponent was supposed to be Jorge Masvidal the #3 ranked Welterweight fighter. The UFC and Masvidal had been negotiating the contract for the fight but talks broke down and eventually stopped over money demands. The UFC changed course and signed Gilbert Burns to fight for the title and headline the UFC 251 card on Fight Island in Abu Dhabi. This turn of events has become good for Masvidal who finally had his contract demands met and the UFC has an even more intriguing matchup. There is some big animosty between the two of them and you can find some of their confrontations on Youtube.
We talked a little about the other title fights on the card and our thoughts about the match ups and who we favored. Then the rest of the conversation we spoke in great detail of Covid 19 and the impact it has had on the sports world. I made a mistake saying that the Toronto Blue Jays had been in a quarantine bubble in For Myers Florida but it was in fact the Toronto Raptors.
