Summary
New co-host and UFC Hall of Famer "Suga" Rashad Evans joins Brian Campbell and Brandon Wise for a loaded episode breaking down all things UFC 238. Does Henry Cejudo have the "it" factor for crossover stardom? How important is a third Amanda Nunes fight to Valentina Shevchenko's legacy? Does Tony Ferguson deserve a title shot immediately? The guys also preview Friday's Bellator 222 card as Evans looks at the mindset of welterweight champion Rory MacDonald and predicts a winner between former opponents Lyoto Machida and Chael Sonnen. Plus, producer Mike Mormile drops by with reaction to the latest news including Cris "Cyborg" Justino's UFC contract and the proposed Justin Bieber-Tom Cruise MMA match.
