SBN MMA’s Flyin’ Brian J will be attempting to watch the main card of UFC Greenville at 6CST and also BKFC 6 starting at 7pm CST as an opportunity to do a radio-style play-by-play broadcast of each eye-poke, kick, submission, or decision on each of the Main Cards on our SBN MMA YouTube channel.
The UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) returns tonight, Saturday, June 22nd, 2019, with what should be an action-packed and meaningful fight card. Top-ranked featherweights Renato Moicano Carneiro and “Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung go to war in the main event; we were anticipating bantamweight brawlers John Lineker and Rob Font re-matching in the co-main, but due to an injury that has been scratched* so we now have Bryan Barberena vs Randy Brown in the co-main. Rounding out the card we have the likes of Andrea Lee, and Kevin Holland, which should ensure the rest of the main card is at least fun to watch, no matter how the fights go.
*John Lineker withdrew from the UFC Fight Night 154 co-main event, according to MMA Junkie, leaving opponent, Rob Font, left hanging without an opponent for the big night. The Brazilian’s manager, Alex Davis, told MMA Fighting that “Hands of Stone” suffered a cut above his eyebrow while sparring on Thursday, one that was apparently severe enough to prompt his removal from the ESPN+ fight card.

However exciting these fight cards might be, it is understandable if you can’t (or won’t) subscribe to or shell out the bucks for the ESPN+ 12 event or the BKFC 6 PPV, so we are here for you to be able to listen with us on YouTube. Luckily, Brian has subscribed to the services and we have decided to use our Saturday evening as an opportunity to not only possibly see some entertaining fights, but hopefully catch some decent finishes, while also providing you with a ‘Radio-Style’ play-by-play broadcast of each eye-poke, groin strike, highlight-reel knockout, etc. this is being presented behind the ESPN+ and Fite.tv set ups.
I will moderate your live chat, laying the ban hammer down on those pesky spammers and link beggars, as well as offering support to Brian throughout the show with factoids, bonus updates and adding results in full detail, to the chat and description, as well as right here in this posts the main events unfold. During the entire main card of each event Brian will be doing his best to keep fight fans up-to-date on the moment-to-moment action happening in Greenville, SC and Tampa, FL.
