The Next Day Takeaways, Episode 9: UFC Vegas 51

From Belal Muhammad's big win and technical decisions to strong efforts and questionable statements, there is plenty to discuss coming out of Saturday's event at the UFC APEX

An entertaining night of action was dragged down by some inadvertent fouls and one person saying some wildness on the microphone that instantly erased his quality performance, giving me plenty to talk about on this week’s edition of The Next Day Takeaways.

This week, we run though:

  • Ignoring the unimportant voices on social media and what comes next for Belal Muhammad

  • How to potentially handle inadvertent blows and absurd overreactions to rare occurrences

  • Andre Fialho’s impressive win and what Miguel Baeza needs to work on

  • Where Mayra Bueno Silva may fit in the bantamweight division and how a fight with Pannie Kianzad makes sense

  • Pat Sabatini meriting a meaningful step up in competition

  • Mounir Lazzez wasting a solid effort in the cage with a historically terrible post-fight interview

  • William Knight needing to figure out what he wants to do

  • Drakkar Klose still being an exceptionally good lightweight and fighting Mark O. Madsen

  • The commentary team needing to call the action and not get so caught up in personal stories and tangents

  • A much-needed win for Sam Hughes and why she could have finally turned a corner

  • Alatengheili being a consistently entertaining bantamweight that deserves more attention

  • And a look ahead to next weekend’s outstanding card headlined by Amanda Lemos and Jessica Andrade
