Summary

Ariel weighs in on the rankings in light of Islam Makhachev and Aljamain Sterling's wins at UFC 280, the presence of Roman Kadyrov's son at the event and fighters' relationship to the Chechen dictator, Conor McGregor's recently revealed USADA status, whether the UFC engages in "sportswashing," his interview with AEW founder Tony Khan and Tony Schiavone's reaction to it, his relationship with Jake Paul after Paul's rip of Luke Rockhold, the team's favorite horror movies, and more. Katie around (1:15:15) discusses why she disappeared from the public eye after her fight with Amanda Serrano, reflecting on the experience of fighting in Madison Square Garden, thoughts on the scorecards, why an immediate rematch with Serrano didn't happen, why her fight with Karen Carabajal isn't taking place at Croke Park, whether she might rematch Serrano next and Dublin's Croke Park could host, her reaction to Claressa Shields' win over Savannah Marshall, the possibility of fighting Holly Holm or Cris Cyborg, and more. Arnold around (1:48:01) discusses his UFC Vegas 63 headliner against Calvin Kattar, the fight taking place at UFC APEX and what's at stake in the matchup, the possibility of fighting on a stadium show headlined by teammate Leon Edwards' rematch with Kamaru Usman, whether Leon set an example for humble fighters, explaining his funnier tweets as of late, and more. Fabian around (2:12:31) talks about fighting Charlie Ward, his desire to face Gegard Mousasi and instead being told he's two fights from a title shot, his reaction to brother Leon's knockout of Kamaru Usman, the "knock-on" effects of Leon's win on their training, whether he was ever close to signing with the UFC, how he got into MMA independent of Leon, the crazy experience of his first amateur fight, his past as a janitor and a carpenter, his thoughts on champ Johnny Eblen, desire to fight Gegard Mousasi next, fighting out his contract to test the MMA marketplace, and more. Kattar around (2:32:29( reacts to his loss to Josh Emmett at UFC Austin, his issues with the scoring of the fight, the financial blow of losing, the status of appealing the result, his position on open scoring, his thoughts on Arnold Allen as an opponent, his experience as a local MMA promoter with last-second changes, his thoughts on Alexander Volkanovski facing Islam Makhachev, possibly getting into the title picture if contenders like Emmett and Yair Rodriguez are unable to capitalize, and more.
