Episode 66 of Morning Kombat is here and Luke and Brian look ahead to UFC 256 breaking down the news that Kamaru Usman vs. Gilbert Burns is OFF for the event in December and look at potential replacement fights including Aljamain Sterling vs. Petr Yan for the Bantamweight title and Francis Ngannou vs. Stipe Miocic (5:15). The boys also discuss Deontay Wilder firing his co-trainer Mark Breland and how it could impact his Fury trilogy fight (19:47). Plus, what is next for Leon Edwards (32:56)? The guys discuss all the twitter beef from early this week.... ESPN vs Dominance MMA management (43:02). Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia (48:00). Darren Till vs Mike Perry (52:04). Finally the guys close out the show with a deep dive on Colby Covington. Can he change his gimmick? Who would he be today without the schtick and where it ranks compared to the best (58:45).
