JNPO: 2018 MMA Year In Review finale
It took longer than expected but my look back at the MMA year that was in 2018 is finally complete and we saved the best for last: October through December, a three month stretch that saw big stars, big happenings, and the usual major UFC mishaps.
Helping me guide this ship into port is returning guest and now permanent Year In Review co-host Paul Fontaine.
Here’s just a few of the things that happened in this 90+ day stretch:
- Conor McGregor returned to the UFC for the first time in a year plus against rival Khabib Nurmagomedov…and a near riot broke out.
- Picograms of Turinabol in Jon Jones’ system caused an entire UFC event to be moved and the industry to question whether this whole USADA thing is working.
- The UFC made a main event for MSG on several weeks notice by bringing back an injured fighter vs. a fighter who needed a miracle to win weeks prior, screwing over several other fighters promised the spot to begin with.
- We had our first MMA ‘trade’ featuring one of the best of all time and a guy Dana White dumped on for years.
