Summary

On this episode of Good Guy / Bad Guy…Did we just witness the next Middleweight Champ stake his claim? Reiner de Ridder is coming off the biggest win of his career beating Robert Whittaker via split decision and many are speculating he could be next in line for a shot at the Middleweight Title. But is he ready to fight for the strap after just four UFC appearances? Plus, Khabib Nurmagomedov wants to get rid of rounds in fighting! Yup, you read that right. Instead, he wants fighters to throw down for 15 or 25 minutes straight. So, do the Good Guy & Bad Guy like the idea of throwing down till the finish or the lone-final bell? And, Islam Makhachev wants all the smoke with the man who just took his longstanding #1 spot in the Pound for Pound Rankings. But is a fight vs Ilia Topuria realistic?
