Summary

After another busy weekend in combat sports, Chael discusses the following on today's show:

  • ONE Championship's decision to not submit a final offer to Francis Ngannou and what this means for the former champ's free agency (00:42)
  • His takeaways from BKFC 41 in Denver, what to make of Conor McGregor's surprise appearance, and how we should view Luke Rockhold following his loss to Mike Perry (10:24)
  • Why Saturday's UFC 288 main event odds have Chael confused about how the fight between Aljamain Sterling and Henry Cejudo will go down (31:03)
  • Why Chael believes that Dr. Andrew Huberman -- a professor of neuroscience at Stanford -- is a snake oil salesman (48:23)

And more!

Another special episode of your welcome. Guys, I was out at Bear Nuckle in Denver this

0:15.7

weekend and coming up on today's show, I'm going to tell you about my experience as well

0:20.8

as Conor McGregor's appearance plus its UFC 288 Fight Week and I want to talk about some

0:27.7

interesting betting lines for Al Jermaine Sterling and Henry Sihudo. I'm going to get to

0:33.1

that story and a whole lot more on today's show. Let's begin here.

0:41.7

Charterine, one championship, Francis and Gano, contract free agency. I feel as though I might

1:02.5

in talks with Francis and we're going to submit our best and final and those are very important

1:09.6

terms that you know in business. When somebody says best and final, that's it. Even if they regret it,

does make you feel that way. I mean, it must be. Dana White can read people better than anybody

1:53.5

I've ever seen. That includes PhDs in psychology that I know. Dana White can read people.

1:59.0
