Description

An interview with former UFC referee John McCarthy who currently works as a host and analyst for Bellator.

It was recorded for Sky Sports (thanks to my employers for the use of the audio) ahead of UFC 249, which was the first big sports event to go ahead in the western world in weeks. Will this be a template for all sports going forward?

Talk about how that event could set a precedent for combat sports and the practical considerations for fighters seeking to cross over from MMA into boxing - or vice versa.
