You're listening to the Co-Main Event Podcast.

And now your hosts, Ben Folks and Chad Dundas.

That's right.

You're listening to another episode of the Co-main event Mixed Martial Arts podcast.

I'm Chad Dundas. That's Ben Folks. We're both senior writers in MMA for the Athletic,

and we meet here every single week to chop up all the prominent, newsworthy, and hilarious happenings in the world of mixed martial arts.

So, Ben, here's where we are this week.

UFC 249 officially canceled, as we said during Friday's power hour over on our Patreon page.

We somewhat hoped that that would be the final word, that we would be able to stop talking about UFC 249 until it becomes a

reality once again, once the UFC and other mainstream sports resume their regularly scheduled

seasons and slates of live events. But we're going to circle back here on this episode of the podcast to address UFC 249 one final time, fill in some of the details there regarding the cancellation.

And we also got a lot of listener mail here about topics unrelated to UFC 249.

So we think this week as we continue to respond to a fluid and

changing sometimes depressing situation here, we'll spend the first half of the show doing

listener mail. And the second half, we will get into these regularly scheduled three rounds

about UFC 249.

How are you today?

I'm doing all right.

I'm settling into our new normal.

Good.

That's good to hear.

That's good to hear.
