What the Heck, Episode 59: Andrea Lee, Austin Vanderford, Phil Hawes and Danny Sabatello

On this week’s episode of What the Heck, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck chats with UFC flyweight Andrea Lee (5:18) to discuss her impressive second-round submission win over Antonina Shevchenko at UFC 262 this past Saturday night, feeling free in the octagon for the first time in over two years, the pressure on her heading in, what it meant to get her first finish in over 1,300 days, and what she is hoping for next.

One of the newest members of the Bellator roster Danny Sabatello (25:12) previews his upcoming Bellator 259 bantamweight matchup with fellow promotional newcomer Brett Johns this Friday, talks signing a multi-fight deal with Bellator, how his teammates helped him in that decision, feeling like the snub from Dana White on the Contender Series could be a blessing in disguise, his plans to run through Johns, feeling like he could destroy current champion Sergio Pettis, and more.
