The Sheehan Show: Get The Featherweight Division Moving
The Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight division has always been stacked with talent, whether it be champions, contenders or prospects, the lineup has always remained solid through the years. Sean Sheehan looks at the division's matchmaking and brings forward the questions if some prospects could have been given more of a promotional push. Have former champions such as Jose Aldo and Max Holloway been given opportunities at the expense of other contenders?
Sean also breaks down this Saturday's main event, Calvin Kattar versus Giga Chikadze, and touches upon the Alexander Volkanovski vs. Max Holloway 3 replacement fight, Volkanovski vs. Chan Sung Jung.
