Summary

Brian Campbell is joined by former UFC interim welterweight champion Colby Covington to preview Saturday's UFC Newark main event against Robbie Lawler. Covington pulls no punches on everything from whether he would fight teammate Jorge Masvidal to why he backed down from Kamaru Usman in a Las Vegas buffet line. Plus, "Suga" Rashad Evans and Brandon Wise recap UFC 240 and ponder whether Max Holloway is the G.O.A.T. at featherweight, Frankie Edgar should move down in weight and if UFC has done Cris "Cyborg" Justino wrong. Also, why is BJ Penn still fighting?
