UFC Saudi Arabia Reaction! Plus, Did Khabib Nurmagomedov Give Conor McGregor PTSD and Ruin His Life?
On today’s episode, I react to what we saw this past weekend at UFC Saudi Arabia, including my issue with Michael ‘Venom’ Page being the underdog in his win over Shara ‘Bullet’ Magomedov, and why I don’t envy the position that Israel Adesanya finds himself in after losing to Nassourdine Imavov. Plus, Dana White said he will explore other options if they can’t make Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall happen, even though I don’t believe Jones has officially been offered that fight yet. Then, why I should’ve begun investing in TKO earlier. And finally, did Khabib Nurmagomedov give Conor McGregor PTSD? And why is McGregor attacking fellow countryman Paul Hughes?
