Summary

After the soaring high that was last week’s All Questions Considered episode, Co-Main Event Podcast No. 125 crashes back to earth, reverting to the crippling normalcy of just having Ben and Chad talk about stuff. Luckily for everyone, there’s actual stuff to talk about this week. The guys address Jose Aldo’s upcoming UFC 179 rematch against Chad Mendes, wondering if anything has changed that would make them believe that this time Mendes might pull off the upset. In addition, they talk about Phil Davis’ bout against Glover Teixeira, agreeing it’s pretty much a must-win for “Mr. Wonderful.” In round three, they get a little philosophical on the topic of the UFC’s 2015 schedule and a recent Sports Business Journal article about the fight company. Only after finishing recording did they immediately realize that said article had a super big typo in it about how many PPVs the UFC has sold in the last few years, so you’ll have to bear with them on that little mistake. All that plus AYFKM, Just Sayin Stuff and MasterTweet Theatre. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:44.5	We're going to get that monkey off our back this weekend with UFC 179.
0:49.1	I've seen this sentiment flying around a little bit.
0:52.1	Have you missed it?
0:53.4	Yeah.

1:11.3	Really? You sound like you haven't. I have not. I mean, I'm pleased that UFC 179 is this weekend because I'm looking forward to the Jose Aldo Chad Mendes rematch. I think that that will be an interesting fight. The rest of the card is kind of garbage aside from the appearance of Phil Davis. But I'm pleased that that fight's happening this weekend. But no, the last couple weeks,
1:15.0	I really haven't given it a second thought. Well, I guess when I say that I've missed it,

1:23.1	we've seen recently, like UFC 178, for example. I'm not, when I think of it, I'm not thinking of like tough Brazil finale three from
