A huge fight week is underway with two massive events in boxing and the UFC, and you won’t want to miss this episode of Morning Kombat! Luke and Brian kick things off by recapping this weekend’s UFC Fight Night, where Carlos Prates scored a stunning knockout win over Neil Magny in the main event—his fourth KO of the year. With this victory, does Prates now solidify himself as a legitimate contender? Next, they dive into the highly anticipated Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight, the biggest combat sports showdown of the week. What’s Jake Paul’s ultimate goal in boxing, and what would a win over Tyson do for his career? Despite Tyson being the betting underdog, how real are his chances of victory? And what happens to Paul if Tyson pulls off the upset? Will this event boost boxing or tarnish its reputation? The discussion then shifts to UFC 309, where Jon Jones faces Stipe Miocic in a legacy-defining fight. If both fighters retire afterward, what does their legacy look like? Should the winner of the co-main event between Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler —or even the loser—face Max Holloway for the BMF belt next? Plus, how will the ongoing talk of Jones potentially ducking Miocic impact the fight? Finally, Luke and Brian wrap up the episode with a quick recap of ONE 169, as well as big wins from Jaron Ennis and Bam Rodriguez in boxing.
