UFC 293 Recap! Round-Up with Paul Felder & Michael Chiesa

Paul Felder and Michael Chiesa are back at it again on this episode of UFC Round-Up after one of the biggest upsets of the year!

To start off the show, the guys give their thoughts and takeaways from this past weekend’s UFC 293 main event, as Sean Strickland defeated Israel Adesanya by decision to win the middleweight belt in a major upset.

Then, the duo answer 5 rounds of fan questions.

1. Who’s next for Felipe dos Santos? What a showing for a short notice scrap against a savage like Manel Kape.

2. What matchup is next for Alexander Volkov after a performance like that?

3. Was that the biggest title upset since COVID? Sean Strickland Fighter of the Year?

4. Paul, do you think Izzy should get another rematch right away? What’s your thoughts? Perhaps let’s do Dricus Du Plessis vs. Sean Strickland and Izzy vs. Jared Cannonier.

5. Here I lay stunned and inspired after that incredible upset that Sean Strickland pulled off. Question for both of you, what is a time in your lives where you pulled off a daunting task by sticking to the basics? This could be in broadcasting, fighting, auditioning, wrestling.

Following that, the guys do a special round 6 and give a shoutout to Laura Sanko for her pay-per-view commentary debut at UFC 293.

To wrap up the show, the pair look ahead to this Saturday’s Noche UFC: Grasso vs. Shevchenko 2 event and Michael gives his picks for the main event between women’s flyweight champion Alexa Grasso and former women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko and the co-main event between welterweights Kevin Holland and Jack Della Maddalena.
