Summary

Brian Campbell and UFC Hall of Famer "Suga" Rashad Evans address the fallout of Stipe Miocic's victory over Daniel Cormier in their trilogy bout at UFC 252 including Jon Jones' decision to vacate his 205-pound title and move up in weight. Should UFC book Miocic against Jones or top-contender Francis Ngannou in a rematch? How will Cormier's legacy be affected by two losses to each of his biggest rivals? The guys also react to rumors of Anthony "Rumble" Johnson's return to light heavyweight and whether the division is simply waiting for Dominick Reyes to become its new king. Plus, a weekend preview of Ryan Bader's Bellator return and Frankie Edgar-Pedro Munhoz at UFC Fight Night. ----------------------------- 'State of Combat' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
