Summary

Brian Campbell provides instant reaction to a trio of title bouts atop UFC 251 on Saturday from Fight Island in Abu Dhabi. Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman ruined Jorge Masvidal’s attempt at a storybook ending by using his grappling and improved striking to defend his title. Plus, did the judges get it right in Alexander Volkanovski’s close rematch with Max Holloway? And who should be next for new bantamweight king Petr Yan? ---------------------------- 'State of Combat' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
