Summary

Brian Campbell and UFC Hall of Famer "Suga" Rashad Evans are joined by Brandon Wise to break down the latest news in mixed martial arts, including Conor McGregor's return from hibernation in his 41-minute ESPN interview. How committed did McGregor sound to keep fighting? Was his apology both needed and sincere? Was this anything more than a public relations move? The guys also look at a wild Bellator 225 card, including one-handed fighter Nick Newell's win to keep his career alive. Plus, a preview of Jessica Andrade's strawweight title bout against Weili Zhang at UFC Shenzhen.
