PFL Owner Donn Davis: $7.7B UFC Deal ‘Fantastic for MMA’

Paige Bueckers exploded for 44 points on Wednesday night, the most ever for a rookie. As Caitlin Clark continues nursing an injury, Bueckers is just the latest display of the deep stardom that exists around the league outside of Clark. FOS reporter Colin Salao joins Baker Machado and Renee Washington to explain how the WNBA is still poised for success outside of its most notable name.

Plus, Donn Davis joins the show to talk through the PFL World Championships, his public dispute with top fighter Francis Ngannou, and why the new $7.7 Billion UFC deal with Paramount is a big win for the PFL as well.

Also, Tuned In reporter Mike McCarthy gives us the latest from the media world, including NBC’s new dominance, Rich Eisen’s resurgence, and ESPN’s new streaming service.
