MMA Fight Focus Podcast: UFC 186 Preview

April 22, 2015

A card that has been decimated by injuries, indecisions and injunctions regained a little intrigue on April 21 when Quinton "Rampage" Jackson was reinstated by New Jersey's Appellate courts, allowing him to take on Fabio Maldonado as originally planned. The two heavy hitters move back into the co-main event, in what should be a slugfest. In the main event, Flyweight champion Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson defends against up-and-coming spark plug Kyoji Horiguchi. After three UFC wins in the Flyweight division, Kyoji finds himself in title contention (ready or not) in a division that has mostly been cleaned out by the sport's most dominant male champion. Plus, Michael Bisping and C.B. Dollaway have followed similar trajectories through the Middleweight division; they finally meet in a battle of "Best to Never Fight for a Belt." Patrick Cote and Joe Riggs have combined for over 80 pro fights, yet the paths of these pay-per-view card staples have never crossed; they'll meet for the first time in Montreal as well. All that, plus up-and-comers Alexis Davis, Sarah Kaufman, Chad Laprise, Bryan Barbarena, Olivier Aubin-Mercier, Jessica Rakoczy, and Aisling Daly in this episode of the MMA Fight Focus Podcast!
