On today’s episode, I react to a slew of breaking news! Ilia Topuria has vacated his featherweight title, and I explain why I respect him for making the move. Then, Alexander Volkanovski vs. Diego Lopes will fight for vacant belt, and I tell you what excites me most about this fight.
Also, with Shavkat Rakhmonov unable to fight at UFC 315, I give my thoughts on Jack Della Maddalena stepping in as his replacement.
Plus, I try to make sense of Henry Cejudo fighting Song Yadong this weekend at UFC Seattle. And ahead of his title defense against Magomed Ankalaev, I argue why Alex Pereira losing that fight may actually work in his favor. And finally, is Conor McGregor going to fight for BKFC?
