THE RUNDOWN
- In the UFC on ESPN 8 main event, Alistair Overeem rallied to score a second-round TKO win over Walt Harris. Now, it was Harris who swarmed Overeem early, but referee Dan Miragliotta elected not to stop the fight, which allowed Overeem’s comeback. Should it have been stopped in the first?
- There were judging controversies throughout UFC on ESPN 8, with Claudia Gadelha, Dan Ige and Song Yadong all coming away with questionable decision wins. We break down each result.
- Former UFC champion Kevin Randleman will be inducted into the Hall of Fame. We explain why it’s such an appropriate honor.
- Jon Jones is chirping, talking about moving up to fight Francis Ngannou and how he wants more money. Could he hold the UFC hostage?
- Justin Gaethje is giving Conor McGregor a taste of his own medicine. What do we think of that?
- Henry Cejudo’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, says he doesn’t expect the UFC champ’s retirement to last. Are we surprised?
