Holding Hands and Throwing Fists - Season X, Episode 8
Introduction:
Welcome back to another episode of Holding Hands & Throwing Fists, where we're diving into the epicness that was UFC 300! It's been a minute, but we're back with our thoughts on the biggest card of the year.
Recap of UFC 300:
UFC 300 was like the MMA Prom/Wedding of the century – everyone was dressed to the nines and on their best behavior. From start to finish, it was a non-stop thrill ride that kept us glued to our seats.
Even after celebrating our daughters' first birthday party, we couldn't tear ourselves away from the action. The early prelims kicked off with Figgy's submission victory over Cody, setting the tone for the night.
Let's be real – UFC 300 was the high water mark for MMA. No missed weights, no pull-outs, just pure octagon magic. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the sport, this event showcased everything we love about MMA.
Opinions and Observations:
While UFC 300 was undeniably epic, we've got a couple of opinions to share. From Max Holloway's knockout to Dana White's post-fight antics, there's a lot to unpack.
We can't ignore the eye pokes Max delivered to Justin Gaethje, which undoubtedly impacted the fight's outcome. And Max's post-fight celebration left us feeling disappointed – sometimes less is more, Max.
Dana, we love you, but announcing fights at the post-fight press conference? Not cool, bro. Save it for another time.
MMA Fashion and Other Highlights:
Let's take a moment to appreciate the fashion statements at UFC 300 – from Bruce's killer blazers to Megan's sequined pantsuit, everyone brought their A-game.
And how about those new gloves? It's like they're listening to our podcast and taking notes.
Fight Card Updates:
Our predictions for UFC 300 were spot-on for some fights, but others surprised us. From Charles Oliveira's close call to Zhang Weili's title defense, the night was full of memorable moments.
And let's not forget Alex Pereira's knockout victory – talk about making a statement.
