Episode 180: Alex Perez Bounces Back With Win Over Nicolau | UFC 301 Picks/Predictions | UFC Manchester Will Be Massive

Back from recovering from the UFC 300 hangover, we have another great episode, so let's get into it. We start things off with a huge win for Alex Perez with his knockout of Matheus Nicolau. This was a great bounce-back win for Perez, who saw his victory for the first time since 2020. But also, this win puts him in a great spot in the division with so many contenders either injured or coming off a loss. From there, we give a quick recap of the rest of the card. Some great fights and performances from names that we will be seeing on bigger cards in the future. Next, we move into our picks and predictions for UFC 301. We were doing so much picking and predicting with UFC 300 that we decided to just preview the main and co-main events. In the main event, we have Alexandre Pantoja defending his title against the fast-rising Steve Erceg. In the co-main, we have the return from retirement fight of the King of Rio himself, Jose Aldo. He will be greeted by the always-dangerous Jonathan Martinez. Lastly, we move into the news, where we catch up on two weeks worth of fight announcements, some weird actions by the NSAC, and the announcement of UFC 304 being in Manchester, England. We even expand a little bit about how huge we think the event will be with all of the UK talent on the roster currently! Like always, please be sure to rate, like, comment, and share.
