Summary

Howdy folks! On today’s episode of the best podcast in combat sports, I get into all the week’s biggest stories, starting with Michael Chandler's thoughts on Conor McGregor’s return. Then, I talk about Jon Jones's comments on his fight with Stipe Miocic being “likely” his last. After that, I dive into the potential matchup of Henry Cejudo vs. Sean O’Malley, as well as Merab Dvalishvili’s plan for his next title fight. To close out, I discuss Khamzat Chimaev’s decision to get back to his roots and return to his original wrestling gym in Sweden, and talk Mike Tyson’s alarming inability to walk despite being 2 months out from his bout with Jake Paul.

The following time codes are approximate:

Michael Chandler on Conor McGregor’s potential return (00:00)
Will Jon Jones retire after UFC 309? (10:34)
