Summary

On today’s episode, I break down why now is the perfect time for Israel Adesanya to retire. Then, I give my thoughts on Conor McGregor spitting on a fan in Las Vegas after getting taunted. Plus, whoever leaked Kevin Lee’s training footage owes him an apology. And why is Ilia Topuria so eager to fight Islam Makhachev? Then, the UFC 312 press conference was one of the nastiest ones I’ve ever seen. And, last week I questioned why Alex Pereira decided to corner Sean Strickland, and now Strickland has given us an answer. Also, Strickland sparred a fan, and I don't understand why this USELESS tradition still exists. To support this program, please leave me a review on Apple Podcasts or submit a rating on my Spotify page.
