This past Friday, a boxing event headlined by Jake Paul and Mike Tyson was streamed by over 100 million people on Netflix. While the event was a huge success from a business standpoint, the main event between Paul and Tyson was underwhelming, and the overall Netflix experience left much to be desired. However, the rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano was a highlight, delivering a Fight of the Year contender.
In a new episode of Between the Links, the panel discusses the Paul vs. Tyson fight card, the good, the great, and the not-so-great aspects of the event. They also speculate on the possibility of more events like this in the future and what lies ahead for Jake Paul after his lackluster decision victory. Other topics include Jon Jones’ dominant win over Stipe Miocic at UFC 309, the MMA community’s reaction, Jones’ pound-for-pound ranking, and potential future opponents like Tom Aspinall. They also touch on Charles Oliveira’s impressive win over Michael Chandler and preview Saturday’s UFC Macau event featuring Petr Yan vs. Deiveson Figueiredo.
Hosted by Mike Heck, the discussion features MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew and Morning Kombat’s Brian Campbell.
