Summary

On today's episode of Good Guy/Bad Guy, DC & Chael dive into the news surrounding Conor McGregor and how he is facing an 18 month suspension for "whereabout failures". Only thing to say is that Chael P. Sonnen was right! The guys dive into what "whereabout failures" mean and how this suspension comes about. With Conor's suspension scheduled to end in March of 2026, and the White House event taking place in June... does this make it more likely that McGregor's return will in fact happen? Plus, does Youssef Zalal have a case, following his win vs Josh Emmett last weekend, to be next for featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski? DC breaks out the pen and paper to matchmake the division. And, the fight of the year took place Tuesday night on Dana White's Contender Series... Why did Chael believe the wrong person won?
