On today's episode, I break down the confusing lightweight title picture, and explain why I think Islam Makhachev needs to fight Ilia Topuria. Then, some people are discrediting Paddy Pimblett’s win last weekend by saying Michael Chandler just isn’t that good anymore — I’ll give you my take.
Next, I might have to walk back what I said about Alexander Volkanovski looking old while reclaiming the featherweight title — because he still dominated Diego Lopes. But it got me thinking: How will we look at a veteran like Jon Jones if Tom Aspinall beats him? Then, I’ll share my thoughts on Jean Silva reportedly wanting to fight Yair Rodriguez, and what that means for an already uncertain featherweight division.
Also, Amanda Nunes may be considering a return from retirement, but I’m not sure you actually want to see her fight again. And finally, the Global Fight League has reportedly cancelled its inaugural events — but is the whole thing really a scam like some are claiming?
