The MMA Hour

 

Earlier this year, award-winning journalist Helwani announced his return to SBNation MMA Fighting after spending three years at ESPN.

“It feels like not a day has gone by without someone asking me to bring back The MMA Hour or telling me how much they miss it,” said Helwani. “Well, I missed it, too. Tremendously. So, I am extremely excited to let the fans know that — finally — The Mixed Martial Arts Hour is back in their life. Man, it feels good to write that.”

Today’s show kicks off with special guests Dustine Poirier, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, Urijiah Faber, Darren Till, Israel Adesanya, and Robert Whittaker (full breakdown below).
