Solo episode this week to break down the action from UFC on ABC 2, headlined by middleweight contenders Marvin Vettori and Kevin Holland. Kevin stepped up on short notice to replace the injured Darren Till. I break down the action from the fights I saw on this card and also preview the upcoming UFC Vegas 24 card, headlined by Robert Whittaker and Kelvin Gastelum. I give my thoughts on the landscape of the middleweight division, drink some whiskey and even get into a little geography. As always, shares, comments, criticism, reviews and otherwise are welcome and appreciated - cheers!
