UFC APEX preview, New Boxing PPV Prices, Pereira vs. DDP?! | Full Episode | Morning Kombat

We are HERE Donks! No better way to spend a Thursday then with a special episode of MORNING KOMBAT. BC and Luke are back in studio to preview this upcoming weekend of combat sports and discuss the biggest news in the game. First, the guys preview this weekends UFC Apex card, headlined by Gilbert Burns vs. Sean Brady! How much elite gas is left in tank of 38-year-old Burns, fresh off two losses (and KO defeat to Jack Della?) Did Brady prove last time out vs. Gastelum that he fixed the striking glitch from Belal Muhammad KO loss? Next, Alex Pereira continues his bid for "one more" middleweight fight vs. DDP. Is this the right move at 37 for Pereira to cut back down in weight considering his ambition to become 3-division champion at heavyweight? Also, UFC ran a playful "Jon Jones is GOAT" ad during DWCS (plus insane KO highlight). From lengthy debate with Kevin Iole and other media last week over Jones P4P slot to this commercial, is Dana having fun with us by playing into his own absurdity? And what's your best guess as to why he won't stop praising Jon? In boxing, Turki Alalshikh announces new PPV price point as Dana White teases boxing partnership. Alalshikh wants $20 boxing PPVs to combat streaming. Will it work?

[@ItsTheAtomicGamer]

comment for the algorithm, MK and morning coffee never fails to be a great start to the day

[@yrahmed]

59:22 I think Luke is wrong on this. I think a better comparison here is piracy with music. Lower the price point to entry might an asymmetric/nonlinear impact on the percentage of fans willing to purchase. Piracy for music in Sweden almost killed the music industry there until 9.99/month to for access to all music (Spotify) came out and revived the music business. The music labels had all the quants and research to show how streaming wouldn’t work. They were wrong

[@yrahmed]

Tech VCs underwrote the cost for that market to develop and grow past the pre Napster era. Perhaps the Saudis can underwrite it for bringing combat sports to the world. It’s a better use of that cash than the coke and IG models they were otherwise going to spend it on anyways

[@TommyParty]

As a Cad I cannot get espn+ legally. PPVs can be $120 Cad. I will happily pay $20 USD for a proper ppv. That said if its garbage like PBCs upcoming ones, Im not paying it.

[@mmarioescareno]

What’s with BCs miniature hat?

[@shycreation9418]

Lukes braindead if he thinks lowering ppv to 20 dollars would lose more money. I have NEVER payed for a ppv and none of my friends pay for ppv. And we watch every single one, live. Prices are highway robbery... 20 dollars is reasonable.

[@berserkgarage4218]

That was such a great HYSTS

[@spacentime7]

Luke cut off BC while he was about to mention Kevin Sullivan… props! That doesn’t get talked about enough imo 👀

[@activeunsub]

The truth hurt Brady, as DDP's trash talk style has shown. The hype didn't match what we saw when he was broken on the feet by Belal, who is predominantly a wrestler/grappler. Getting outstruck by Chiesa & beating Gastelum while he's fighting food cravings, didn't help to disprove this. So until Brady beats elite WWs & not unranked or borderline top 15 fighters, he was fraud checked. There's opportunity to change minds though, against Burns.

[@manx1569]

Price dropping ppv would be huge to stop illegal streaming. Look at lack of music piracy in 2024 compared to ten years ago.

[@RM-ru3fk]

Luke is straight up wrong (confidently so per usual) about the ppv price stuff. If it’s 20 bucks I will never stream boxing again.

[@f0x845]

I haven't watched a ton of MK lately. Not because the show isn't good, because it is really in a good place right now imo (behind the scenes aside). The UFC is so stagnant these days, I can't even get hyped for anything. Dana is so out of touch. There are not superstars like there were a few years ago. The matchups are round-robin of the top 3 at multiple weight classes. It's just.... meh.

Dana is backing Jon like he’s building him up for a fight with a non-MMA fighter post Stipe. That’s the only thing that makes sense to me as to why he would be raising Jon on such a pedestal and giving him a fight that will give him another accolade and another glorified name to attract casuals. Something like a Greatest MMA Heavyweight Champion vs someone in boxing. Just a wild thought.

Can we stop with this idea that Jones vs Aspinall is a "super fight" that would be some kind of PPV blockbuster. It's a fight for the hardcores. It would do 350K PPV buys all day, but not much more than that. Now Jones vs Poatan, that's a super fight.

[@ButtaMOBLA23]

The Jones shit brings out the worst in Luke. It's not ducking if you already had the fight booked. At that time nobody was even thinking about Tom. If Jon doesn't want to fight Tom after that then call it ducking. It's funny how before they even cleaned the arena, Iia was already saying he wanted to fight everyone but the next guy up and Luke had no issues. The part that gets left out is Stipe was already promised the fight, which Tom knew before he agreed to fight and you can't take that from him. Usually shit on the UFC for how they treat their legends but they are keeping their promise to Stipe and everyone is like "fuck Stipe" lol. Being an adult if I were Jones I would try to get a big money fight with Alex, tell everyone including Tom to go fuck themselves and retire, because no matter what you won't please the fans. Not a Jones superfan. I just think it's fucked up we have the G.O.A.T. of mma and it's somehow the thing to shit on him every chance they get.
