Summary

The Fighter vs. The Writer is back and this week Matt Brown and Damon Martin discuss the latest news happening around combat sports, including Fedor Emelianenko’s retirement fight happening at Bellator 290. Emelianenko is widely regarded as one of the greatest heavyweights of all-time, but does his résumé really top everybody else to make him the best to ever do it? Also this week, we’ll discuss the recently announced fights with Alex Pereira going to war with Israel Adesanya in a rematch while Gilbert Burns prepares to clash with Jorge Masvidal. Brown will also give his thoughts on Jake Paul signing up to face Tommy Fury as well as his recent deal to join the PFL roster where he expects to make the transition into mixed martial arts. The UFC welterweight veteran offers Paul some friendly advice about making the move into MMA while adding that he’d even be willing to help him get ready for his debut.
