The Next Day Takeaways, Episode 21: UFC Vegas 59

A night filled with finishes produced plenty to talk about, including a passionate rant about fighter pay and making sure it's not just the UFC getting criticized

E. Spencer Kyte and Harry Powell dive into Saturday night’s UFC Vegas 59 fight card which saw all 10 fights end inside the distance. They discuss:

  • Overall impressions of the event

  • Jamahal Hill’s victory, upside, and the things he needs to correct

  • Geoff Neal’s dominant effort against Vicente Luque

  • Sloppy TUF 30 Finales and whether The Ultimate Fighter still turns out talent

  • Serghei Spivac’s quality win and value in the heavyweight division

  • Terrance McKinney smashing Erick Gonzalez, but needing to take a cue from Ian Garry

  • Sam Alvey, fighter pay, and levelling criticism against all promotions, not just the UFC

  • Bryan Battle’s impressive read and finish of Takashi Sato

  • Cory McKenna sticking to her grappling and the Von Flue Choke finish

  • Mayra Bueno Silva submitting Stephanie Egger and why no one needed to see an actual tap

It’s a fiery and fun recap of the most surprising event of 2022.

Now let me tell you about our sponsor…

ONE BONE is a brand I’ve fallen in love with over the last eight or nine months.

They’re a Montreal-based apparel company that designs gear specifically with bigger folks in mind, offering all kinds of amazing fits that are stylish and cool, while still fitting exceptionally well, thanks to their detailed sizing system and handy sizing guide.

I personally own a bunch of their stuff, including the Every Day Pants, a few different shirts and hoodies, and the Essential Bomber, which is absolutely dope.

So I reached out to the fellas about sponsoring the show and hooking subscribers up, and they said, “HELL YEAH!” and so here we go:

Loyal listeners of the show and subscribers to this newsletter can head on over to their website — onebone.com and enter the promo code ESK10 at checkout to save 10 percent on your order; simple as that.

The gear is awesome and I know you’re going to love it.

Go join the ONE BONE FAMILY!
