Summary

This week on What the Heck, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck chats with Ariel Helwani (4:08) about the upcoming return of The MMA Hour beginning on Aug. 16, how it all came together, fans wanting the return of The MMA Beat, and more. Justin Jaynes (42:55) discusses betting his fight purse on himself ahead of his split decision loss to Charles Rosa at UFC Vegas 30 and the aftermath of that decision. Tanner Boser (1:10:28) recaps his second-round TKO win over Ovince Saint Preux in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 30 and talks being annoyed that the story of the fight was the controversy over the performance itself. Julia Avila (1:28:33) talks her third-round submission win over Julija Stoliarenko this past Saturday at UFC Vegas 30 and describes the emotions that came out after the victory. Finally, ONE Championship atomweight champ Angela Lee (1:43:41) discusses being back in the gym on the road to defending her title for the first time since becoming a mom earlier this year.
