Husky Talk- MMA With Tyler King

Connor Returns

He trains, teaches class, beats that ass, pounds it vigorously into the ground after, Crown Sports & Entertainment CEO and Expert MMA analyst Tyler King is here for the MMA report. Starting off hot as we get into the Boxing Championship battle where champion Oleksandr Usyk beat Rico Verhoeven on a controversial ref stoppage with one second to go in the 11th round. Tyler said Usyk did knock down Verhoeven, it looked like he slipped and fell over the ropes to me. Regardless, he was given a standing 8 count, checked by the ring doctor and allowed to continue. Usyk came at Verhoeven hard at the end of the round, but I didn't see him take a ton of damage. Tyler was furious the fight was stopped; he also disagreed with many of the score cards. We discussed Conner McGregor returning to UFC and Jake Paul commenting that announcing his return when Francis Ngannou was walking out shows Dana is afraid of MVP promotions. The King responded by saying cool story, that is how the fight game works, its all business. Tyler was correct, all people were talking or tweeting about was McGregor and that's what UFC wanted. We argue over Connor and how he will fare fighting Max Holloway in a few weeks. The guy has been through several lawsuits, was about to make a run for President in Ireland, hasn't won a fight since 2020 against an aging Donald Cerrone. Tyler said a motivated Connor will be a problem, he is only 37 years old, it feels like he's 44. Tyler said he is more than capable of going on another run. I said it doesn't matter, UFC can put him on any fight, it will sell out, draw viewers, that's what matters. We go over ESPNs power rankings for each weight class, Tyler makes a few picks for UFC fight night Saturday, and we talk more about the White House card. Tyler said it has star power, two championship battles, overall, a great card. My point to him was UFC has billions of dollars, pull the brinks truck up to Jon Jones and they should have got him. I said only because the casual fans know and want to see him. Tyler responded saying Jones has so much going on outside UFC, he doesn't need to fight, nor the money.

Kiss The RING

He trains, he can teach class, then he will beat your ass, followed by pounding it into the ground after, Crown Sport And Entertainment's CEO Tyler King talks the MMA Report. Tyler has quite a bit of gloating to do, he was near perfect in is picks for UFC 328, and he lets us all know it. From the prelims, picking Jim Miller to win, setting a record for submissions in UFC, to Sean Strickland in the main event becoming new champion, the King was almost flawless. Jim Miller, Grant Dawson were his prelim winners, I did not see Miller coming and Tyler could from a mile away. On the main card, King Green put Tyler off to a great start, and with a great performance, he can see him looking at a title shot soon. On fire, Tyler picked all the winners from there. Sean Brady, one of his favorites, followed by Alexander Volkov in the Heavyweight division. I picked against Tyler here because I thought Cortes-Acosta was excellent in his last match-up and with new Heavyweights needed, I expected him to rise fast. As Tyler replied to me, Volkov said cool story bro, and kicked the crap out of Cortes-Acosta. In the semi-main event, Tyler was spot on with Joshua Van retaining his Flyweight title, including if a finish occurred, it would be in the 5th round. Right on both. We witnessed a new champion crowned, as Tyler was happy to remind everyone, he said Sean Strickland would get his Championship Belt back. Also, controversy during weigh ins that I did not know about. Khamzat looked to have missed weight, however the athletic commission in Jersey announced he did, despite the scale still moving. Many UFC fighters want digital scales to be used, and Khamzat is notorious for struggling to cut weight. This one was even more, since he had to drop 46 pounds after plans changed. Tyler also supported Strickland in his post-fight speech apologizing for taking his comments too far. We discussed top MMA reporter Ariel Helwani being unmoved, Tyler is not shy about sharing his thoughts. We debate Ronda Rousey, Tyler picks against her this weekend. We dispute and argue over concussions. Tyler is a top MMA analyst and kiss the ring!
