Getting this one done nice and early because we’ve got afternoon plans and I didn’t want to leave you hanging.
On this episode of The Next Day Takeaways, we discuss:
* Jamahal Hill’s knockout win and why Anthony Smith makes sense as his next opponent
* Johnny Walker’s continued slide, how we really need to be more patient with emerging talents, and how we need to stop abandoning them as soon as they struggle
* Kyle Daukaus being a person of interest at middleweight and hopefully being able to build some consistency after his submission win on Saturday night
* Jim Miller continuing to stack appearances and victories and why getting him to UFC 300 would be the big moment he deserves
* David Onama getting me even more excited for his future
* Stephanie Egger looking terrific against Jessica-Rose Clark
* Chad Anheliger turning in a crafty, veteran performance
* Christian Rodriguez inheriting the “David Onama Position”
* Mario Bautista making me regret leaving him off the Fighters to Watch list
* And a quick rundown of next week’s show
Enjoy the pod. Enjoy your Sunday. Enjoy your week.
Be smart. Be safe. Be good to one another.
Talk soon.
