Summary

On today's episode, I explain my issues with Conor McGregor's statement that he and Dan Hooker are going to fight each other next February in Saudi Arabia. Plus, I tell you why Hooker could instead make sense for Dustin Poirier's next fight. I also discuss Belal Muhammad vs. Shavkat Rakhmonov, Jake Paul's proposed bet with Mike Tyson, and my problem with the UFCs newest signee.

The following time codes are approximate:

Muhammad vs. Rakhmonov is official (00:00)
McGregor vs. Hooker? (11:17)
Dustin Poirier's next fight (17:07)
Jake Paul's $5M bet (25:28)
Reinier de Ridder to the UFC (34:56)
