UFC 211 is so damn good
that we have to spread it out over two—no, three, if you count our
upcoming bonus episode—different episodes. This week, we’re looking
at just two of the three fights on the main card with immediate
title implications. If Yair Rodriguez gets past Frankie Edgar, a
shot at the winner of Jose Aldo vs Max Holloway will probably be in
order. And if Demian Maia beats Jorge Masvidal, not even an
obviously hesitant UFC will be able to deny him a chance at Tyron
Woodley’s welterweight belt. Both are compelling, competitive
fights, and gosh darn it do we have a hard time picking
them.
But that’s not all. This
edition of Heavy Hands is capped off by a look back at last
weekend’s heavyweight boxing showcase, a thrilling battle between
star-in-the-making Anthony Joshua, and Wladimir Klitschko, who
ruled the heavyweight division alone for the last decade. The fight
was insanely good, with both men showing off their skills and their
guts, and neither managing to take over decisively until Joshua
knocked Klitschko out in the 11th round. A true classic of modern
heavyweight boxing, and we invite you to share our
excitement.
