Summary

Well, that was fuckin' crazy, eh Mainiacs? Here we thought Nate Diaz and Tony Ferguson were both headed for demoralizing losses in odd match-ups against heavily favored opponents and then -- Boom! -- Khamzat Chimaev screws the whole shit up. Instead of seeing Diaz ragdolled by Chimaev, Nate lucks into a far more advantageous bout against Tony Fegurson ... which Diaz WINS and now exits the UFC into free agency with, like, ALL THE MOMENTUM. And Chimaev? Well, ordinarily, a guy who missed weight by 7.5-pounds -- thereby causing the UFC to have to rebook an entire PPV card -- would be in deep shit, but this guy seems like he's going to skate without suffering a single consequence after his own favorable match-up against Kevin Holland. So, we have a lot of thoughts about all of that. This week's episode is brought to you in part by NordVPN.

1:19.2	You're listening to another episode of the co-main event mixed martial arts podcast.
1:25.4	I'm Chad Dundas.
1:26.6	That's Ben Fulks. We're both longtime MMA journalists, and for the last
1:30.8	10 years, we've been meeting here every week to break down all the action in the wild, weird,
1:37.2	and occasionally wonderful world of mixed martial arts. Ben, so much has happened between the last time we recorded the proper and today.
1:48.6	It frankly feels like years have passed.
1:53.2	Obviously, we were able to track a lot of it over on the Patreon page with our content there.
1:58.3	But if somehow anyone is listening to this show whose only interaction with MMA is
2:05.2	listening to the proper, man, you have no idea what we're even going to talk about this
2:11.1	week because basically the whole UFC 279 pay-per-view card blew up late last week and then was reassembled as a totally different and perhaps arguably better animal.
2:25.6	So we're going to spend the bulk of today's show talking about that, breaking down as much as we can, about the craziness of last week and what ultimately happened
