Summary

It's UFC 308 week! On today's show, I talk about another challenge laid down by Ilia Topuria to Max Holloway, and I tell you how Holloway responded to it. Plus, I talk about the betting lines for Magomed Ankalaev vs. Aleksandar Rakic and my take on Robert Whittaker vs. Khamzat Chimaev. And after watching Francis Ngannou win handily in his PFL debut this weekend, I'm wondering a few things: Does he fight in boxing or MMA next, and where does Ngannou rank in the all-time heavyweight great conversation?

The following time codes are approximate:

Ngannou's PFL debut (00:00)
Holloway responds to Topuria (11:02)
Whittaker vs. Chimaev (19:27)
Ankalaev vs. Rakic (30:04)
A bad matchup for Jack Della Maddalena? (38:36)
Heavyweight GOAT (47:11)

0:27.6	Guys, we can't waste any time.
0:29.4	Let's begin here. What do you do now with Ingano and did anybody care about this fight?
0:39.4	Now that wouldn't come in for being a jerk perspective. The numbers on PFL are not going to be great, but they can't be
0:46.8	Fury versus Engano is the greatest sporting event I've ever witnessed.
0:53.4	That's true.
0:54.4	From a what should happen, what's going to happen,
0:58.2	makes sense logical standpoint.
1:01.9	That was one of the greatest sporting events I have ever seen.
1:06.1	Like if there's anything you're going to watch and then be inspired as a human being
1:10.4	hey dreams can come true, I can do it. If I have the courage to try and I've got
1:17.7	the grit to put some time in, most of those things are just words. Most of those things are just words.
1:23.0	Those of those things are things that you believe to be true
1:26.0	because you've been told it your whole life and you still haven't realized that you were told that your whole life
1:30.0	just to keep you involved in part of the program and it's a much more
