The Boys at the Hammer feature weekly coverage of all things MMA. They have one of the premier radio shows in the world of MMA broadcasted weekly on Wednesday nights on 93.3 FM, CFMU and here at Last Word on Sports.
UFC 188: Velasquez vs Werdum takes place in Mexico City this weekend, and UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez returns to face UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion Fabricio Werdum in order to unite the titles. This episode we preview the entire fight card, including the highly anticipated co-main event between Gilbert Melendez and Eddie Alvarez, as well as the latest Flyweight test for Olympic Gold Medalist Henry Cejudo.
Then we break down some of the week’s MMA news including the likely Daniel Cormier vs. Alexander Gustafsson fight, Brian Ebersole’s retirement, and a few other UFC roster cuts and additions.
Finally we take a look back at what was one of the most exciting fight cards in recent memory. UFC Fight Night: Boetsch vs. Henderson from last Saturday night was pure excitement and violence, and we have some fun reliving it.
