Morning KombatShow Notes
Luke Thomas and Chuck Mindenhall are back on a Morning Kombat Monday to recap all the news in the world of combat sports. In the main event of UFC Shanghai, Song Yadong one-punch KO'd Umar Nurmagomedov in the second round. It's a major upset and shakes up the bantamweight division. It's also the best and biggest win of Song's career. What does a victory like this tell us about Song's journey and was this win enough to get a title shot? And what's to make of Umar's brother Usman jumping in the cage after the fight? On the rest of the card, Denise Gomes stopped Yan Xioanan in the first round. Kai Asakura stopped Aoriqileng and grading Bilal Hassan's UFC debut. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
