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 MMAJunkie.com feature writer Ben Fowlkes.

Breen and Fowlkes discuss a robust weekend for bantamweight action, with Renan Barao defending the UFC interim bantamweight title against Michael McDonald and Eduardo “Dudu” Dantas staking his Bellator title against Marcos Galvao. The two size up this strange moment for the 135-pound division, how injured UFC champ Dominick Cruz factors in, whether he should be stripped and how strange it is that three of the four title contestants this weekend are under the Nova Uniao banner.

The two also delve into Michael McDonald's religiosity-in-fighting, Mike Goldberg's best all-time gaffes, Skee Ball, whether World Series of Fighting has the best bantamweight outside the UFC and much more.

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