Summary

On today's episode, I begin by discussing the current state of the Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler fight we've been waiting forever for. Then, I get into the RIDICULOUS notion of Arman Tsarukyan fighting in an interim lightweight championship. After that, I talk about Belal Muhammad's next move, Magomed Ankalaev vs. Alexsandar Rakic, and why I believe the UFC should give undefeated flyweight Muhammad Mokaev another shot.

The following time codes are approximate:

McGregor vs. Chandler doubts (00:00)
The UFC lightweight title picture (21:05)
Belal Muhammad's future (27:30)
Ankalaev vs. Rakic (35:13)
Give Mokaev another shot (43:21)

0:13.6	What's happening guys? Happy Friday and thank you for joining another special episode of your welcome. You know, I hope you are all having a great week.
0:15.7	I know that I am and coming up on today's show, I'm going to make the case.
0:19.8	For Macayev to rejoin the UFC plus Robert Whitaker says he deserves a title shot with a win over
0:26.9	Jemiah and I'm not sure that all of you are going to agree with him.
0:30.9	A lot to get to let's start here
0:37.2	a very wise man came and told you guys that Connor McGregor missed the June 29th date opposite Michael Chandler because he was in
0:44.6	rehab. Now a very wise man was guessing. He admitted he didn't know, but as he's trying to put the pieces together, right, of
0:57.0	missing the fight is one thing. You don't miss the press conference for the fight.
1:02.1	Unless you're somewhere that would preclude you
1:06.7	from getting to the press conference.
1:09.5	That seems to make a level of sense, not to mention wherever you you are you can come in by Zoom you don't actually
1:16.3	have to be there and that guy that made this tie-in was me and I'm starting to think that guy was wrong.
1:25.8	Now, I want to let you know, like my idea and my contention
1:29.4	that Connor was at rehab wasn't as
1:33.0	was not as perhaps it was perceived
1:36.0	and it also wasn't a heavy bet that it was actually in rehab.
1:41.0	It was more to the idea of where I don't think you are, like I don't think that fight was canceled
1:47.0	for a discolored pinky toe
1:49.0	that may or may not be broken
1:51.0	and may or may not be attached to Connor's body.
1:56.2	I don't believe that.
1:57.1	I don't believe that there was an injury at any degree
