Fights, Dogs and Parlays: UFC 321 (13:32)

After an exciting UFC Vancouver, the UFC stays on the road for UFC 321 in Abu Dhabi. A pair of title fights sit on top of the card. First, Mackenzie Dern squares off with Virna Jandiroba for the vacant strawweight belt. Then we get the big boys with the heavyweights throwing down. Tom Aspinall will look to hold down the fort against Cyril Gane. We’ll break down those fights as well as some of our other favorite fights on the main card.

Christian Natividad Interview (21:18)

Closing out this UFC 321 edition of TTP is our interview with LFA flyweight, Christian Natividad. He was looking for a big spot on the Contender Series this fall, which didn’t come to fruition. After being disappointed with that, he looked to make some changes to make it to that next step. Natividad discusses one of those changes, which was in training camps for his upcoming fight. After a long time at Fight Ready, he has made the switch over to the MMA Lab for this weekend’s fight. We’ll see the fruits of those labors at LFA 220. He fights Jostin Quilca in the co-main event of the card.
