Summary

On today's post-UFC 308 episode, I talk about the middleweight title picture and whether Khamzat Chimaev or Sean Strickland deserves the next crack at Dricus du Plessis. Plus, I discuss Ilia Topuria's impressive win over Max Holloway and why I think El Matador has a strong case for Fighter of the Year over Alex Pereira. Speaking of Pereira, are we so sure Magomed Ankalaev will be his next opponent?

*The following time codes are approximate:

Ilia Topuria for FOY? (00:00)
Middleweight title picture (11:10)
Magomed Ankalaev's title hopes (19:58)
My problems with UFC 308 (26:05)
