Summary

It's UFC 303 week! Conor McGregor was supposed to fight this week, but he has an "injured toe." I'll talk about that in an epic rant at the end of the show, but first, I owe Robert Whittaker an apology. I also tell you why I'm so excited for Brian Ortega vs. Diego Lopes, the UFC 303 co-main event that's flying under-the-radar. I also talk about Alexander Volkov's win over Sergei Pavlovich, and what this reveals to us about Jon Jones. The following time codes are approximate: Robert Whittaker's beatdown of Ikram Aliskerov (00:00) A massive fight between Brian Ortega and Diego Lopes at UFC 303 (11:51) How good is Jon Jones really? (23:07) 25 epic minutes on Conor McGregor (32:20) To support this fantastic program ahead of my UFC Hall of Fame induction this weekend, you can FOLLOW the show here on Apple Podcasts or on Spotify.
