UFC Vegas 52 & Bellator 279 Post Show | Reaction To Cyborg, Andrade Main Event Wins, Fury vs. Ngannou Talk: While Cris Cyborg went the distance in her main event bout, Jessica Andrade needed less than a round to get her hand raised. Following Saturday’s UFC Vegas 52 and Bellator 279 events, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck, Jose Youngs, Alexander K. Lee, and Jed Meshew discuss Cyborg’s successful title defense, and whether or not challenger Arlene Blencowe should’ve found a way to take a disqualification win after the champion landed an illegal knee in the first round, Andrade’s standing arm triangle submission win over Amanda Lemos and if that earned her a chance to regain the strawweight title in her next appearance. In addition, the panel talks Raufeon Stots’ Bellator interim bantamweight championship finish of Juan Archuleta, Claudio Puelles’ ceiling in the UFC lightweight division, if Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou could actually happen, and much more. by MMA Fighting

How Concerned Should We Be About The Timberwolves Defense? + DLo and Ant Going Off + Observations From Kings-Wolves Round 1: It’s normally after a Timberwolves loss where questions about the big picture enter the frame. But Tuesday’s win over the Kings left me wondering about the long-term prospects of the Timberwolves defense. Asking the question: How concerned should we be about the Wolves defense? We also saw the upside of the Wolves “outscore you” strategy, and dig into the intrigue there. - Anthony Edwards and D’Angelo Russell going off on the offensive end but leaving much to be desired on the defensive end - How much will a training camp and learning the schemes help the Wolves defense next season? - Debunking conspiracy theories as to why DLo isn’t starting, but still asking the question: Why is DLo still not starting? - What impact is DLo coming off the bench having on being able to better understand the KAT and DLo pairing?
