Summary

Brian Campbell and UFC Hall of Famer Rashad Evans recap UFC 250 and break down the latest news around the MMA world. Are people doubting how good Amanda Nunes is? Should people be respecting Felicia Spencer's heart and toughness more or should we upset with her coaches for not throwing in the towel? How much longer should Amanda Nunes continue to fight and who should be next (3:35)? Which Bantamweight impressed Rashad Evans the most at UFC 250? Is Cody Garbrandt in title contention now? Garbrandt wasn't the only bantamweight to put on a show Aljamain Sterling and Sean O'Malley put on dominating performances at UFC 250. Who does Rashad Evans think will be the champion of the Bantamweight division at the end of 2021 (15:50)? Following UFC 250 Conor McGregor announced his retirement on twitter again.... Fighters like Jon Jones and Jorge Masvidal are starting to speak out about the UFC-fighter pay split. What can the UFC do to fix this problem? What would it mean if these fighters truly stepped away at the top of their games (39:30)? Dana White's fight island was leaked and it looks like Abu Dhabi will be the site for the UFC on July 11th. The guys break down more rumors about about who could be on UFC 251 (1:01:37)? -------------------------------- 'State of Combat' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
