Summary

On today’s episode, I’m diving into Coach Eric Nicksick’s public criticism of Sean Strickland’s “uninspiring” performance at UFC 312. Then, Nate Diaz told me he’s ready to return to the UFC. Plus, Stipe Miocic claims Francis Ngannou would beat Jon Jones, but does the MMA math back him up? I’ll break it down. Also, only one fighter found a reason to avoid that fight—and it wasn’t Jones. And finally, Dana White gets challenged by the Pillow Fighting Championship, and Paddy Pimblett is willing to welcome Ilia Topuria to the lightweight division. To support this program, please leave me a review on Apple Podcasts or submit a rating on my Spotify page.
