EP 41: Barcelos Health Scare TWO FRENCH CHAMPIONS?! Fury vs Joshua CHAOS!
Welcome back to The MMA Girl Podcast! Combat sports is CHAOS right now — and we've got a LOT to talk about. In this episode, Jess The MMA Girl breaks down the biggest stories from across UFC, MMA and boxing, including the frightening ending to UFC Vegas 121 between Raul Rosas Jr. and Raoni Barcelos, Barcelos' latest health update, and what actually happened after the fight. We also discuss the latest developments surrounding a potential Sean Strickland vs Nassourdine Imavov rematch for the UFC middleweight championship. Is this fight really happening at UFC 335 — and can Imavov finally beat Strickland after their first meeting? And speaking of Imavov... COULD FRANCE FINISH 2026 WITH TWO UFC CHAMPIONS? With Ciryl Gane holding the UFC heavyweight championship and Imavov potentially fighting for the middleweight title, plus Manon Fiorot still hunting another shot at UFC gold, French MMA could be heading towards a historic period. Then we get into the absolute CHAOS surrounding Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua. The fight was finally announced for December 11 in Cardiff — but promotional disputes involving Eddie Hearn, Dana White, Zuffa Boxing and the two camps have now put the blockbuster heavyweight fight in serious doubt. Is Fury vs Joshua actually going to happen? We also discuss Khamzat Chimaev's future and some of the other stories currently making waves across combat sports.
