E. Spencer Kyte and Patrick Cwiklinski connect on the first of several podcasts this week setting the table for Saturday's historic UFC debut at Madison Square Garden.
Because this weekend’s fight card at Madison Square Garden is so loaded with entertaining fights and established names, we’re breaking our preview podcasts up to match the construction of the fight card.
On this preliminary card portion of the podcast, ESK and Patrick Cwiklinski run through the action heading your way on Fight Pass and FS1/TSN5 Saturday afternoon.
The boys go into greater detail on the middleweight debut of Rashad Evans against the returning Tim Kennedy, Khabib Nurmagomedov’s chance to clearly establish himself as the No. 1 contender in the lightweight division and the keys for Frankie Edgar in his fight with “That Guy” Jeremy Stephens.
It’s the first of several UFC 205 Fight Week podcasts on Province Sports Radio.
(ESK Note: Sorry it sounds like I’m riding in a helicopter at the end of the show; Internet went dicey over the final five minutes…)
