UFC 261 Aftermath: Usman, Rose and Shevchenko Reign, KO of the Year Candidates, Weidman's Injury, More

Episode 17: Shaun and Chuck pinch themselves following an iconic weekend at UFC 261: Usman vs. Masvidal 2. The guys react to Kamaru Usman’s highlight-reel knockout over Jorge Masvidal and where “The Nigerian Nightmare” fits among the greatest at Welterweight (11:39), as well as what’s next for Masvidal following back-to-back losses to the champ (17:08). With two other title fights on the night, we discuss Rose Namajunas’ emotional win over Zhang Weili in another Knockout of the Year candidate and what matchup makes sense for ‘Thug’ Rose 2.0 (26:32). Plus, Valentina Shevchenko continues to dominate the flyweight weight division (37:00), Chris Weidman’s gruesome injury and what it means for his UFC career (48:14), and a recap of our Fight Picks as we run through the rest of Saturday’s action-packed card (53:17).

Opening theme song: “Cathedral in the Sky” performed by Temperance League.
