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 welcomes MMAJunkie's John Morgan to “Press Row.”

The two discuss a pair of sudden departures from this past weekend: the retirement of exciting veteran Chris Lytle and the untimely passing of trainer Shawn Tompkins. They converse on what UFC fighters, welterweights or otherwise, can fill Lytle's role as an all-action fighter, and the immediate impact of Tompkins' passing on his current pupils and their respective careers.

Breen and Morgan also touch on what the ultimate legacies for Lytle and Tompkins will be as MMA history trudges forward and how it might change over time.

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