UFC 311 Reaction: Why I Thought Umar Won, Makhachev's Not-So-Easy Win, & a Brawl in the Stands!
On today’s episode, I tell you why the fighter of the night on Saturday wasn’t somebody who won. Then, I react to the bantamweight title fight between Merab Dvalishvili and Umar Nurmagomedov, and I explain why I believe Nurmagomedov won. And then, I talk about why Islam Makhachev's quick win over Renato Moicano, and why it wasn't as easy as it seemed. Also, after watching his impressive win over Kevin Holland, I want to see Reinier de Ridder fight Bo Nickal. Plus, a brawl in the stands came to a surprising resolution.

Khabib vs. The Airline, UFC 311 Preview, and Alex Pereira Will NOT Fight Alexander Volkov!
On today’s episode, I start with what happened in the viral video of Khabib Nurmagomedov getting removed from a Frontier Airlines flight after an exit-row dispute. Then, why I don’t want to talk about the “Greatest of All-Time” debate between Khabib and Islam Makhachev. And then, the secret grudge between Umar Nurmagomedov and Merab Dvalishvili ahead of their UFC 311 clash, why there’s no truth to a report that Alex Pereira will fight Alexander Volkov, the biggest fight in UFC history, and the controversy over the referee that stopped the Chris Curtis fight. Also, is Tyson Fury retired?

The World’s DUMBEST Idea Was Just a Promotional Tool! Plus, Alex Pereira Could Knock Out Jon Jones
On today's episode, I give you my thoughts on Joe Rogan saying Jon Jones will get $30 million to fight Tom Aspinall, along with Rogan saying Jones can retire and come back at any time. Then, is Alex Pereira avoiding Magomed Ankalaev using the “Ramadan strategy”? And, the interesting spot Jamahal Hill has put himself in wanting to fight Pereira. And later, why I like Cain Velasquez giving Jon Jones credit, Colby Covington believes Pereira could knock out Jones, the world’s dumbest idea, and why Dominick Cruz is possibly the most interesting man in MMA.
