Greg Howard Joins Press Row

Jordan BreenApr 29, 2015




Every Wednesday, Administrative Editor Jordan Breen welcomes a member of the mixed martial arts media into “Press Row” on the Sherdog.com blog. This week, Breen is joined by Deadspin's Greg Howard.

Following the latest in the Jon Jones saga, Breen and Howard discuss the UFC's decision to strip Jones of the light heavyweight title and suspend him indefinitely, the newly-minted Daniel Cormier-Anthony Johnson title bout and what it means for the 205-pound division. The two examine the probability of Jones keeping his title and perhaps even his May 23 fight if he hadn't fled the scene of his traffic accident, what “growing up” really means in relation to Jones and how important the UFC running a show at Madison Square Garden is for the return of “Jonny Bones.”

Breen and Howard also discuss casual sports fans' perceptions of Jones, illegitimate sports titles and after being dropped as a Reebok athlete, whether or not any aborted sports advertising campaign quite matches up to Jones running through the streets in his Reebok Pumps.

Grab your credential and get a seat in “Press Row.”
