Summary

After a flurry of fight announcements made by UFC President Dana White on Wednesday night, I discuss the following on today's episode:

Leon Edwards and Colby Covington landing the coveted December PPV spot over the likes of superstars Sean O'Malley and Conor McGregor (00:53)
The booking of Jiri Prochazka vs. Alex Pereira as the co-main event at UFC 295, and why this fight seems fishy to me (8:17)
Israel Adesanya breaking his silence to say that he wants a "fun" fight next. What could that possibly mean? (17:27)
Why last weekend's drama was the best thing to ever happen to Valentina Shevchenko (30:20)

Plus, I talk about some top UFC heavyweights (39:28) before diving into tomorrow night's UFC main event between fan favorites Rafael Fiziev and Mateusz Gamrot (58:32).

0:00.0	first question to you, John Morgan. All right, great. Let's start with John Jones.

0:24.4	What's happening, guys? Happy Friday and thank you for joining another special episode of
0:29.2	you're welcome. Guys, I got a whole bunch of announcements. I'm going to get into that in a moment
0:33.7	and I'm also going to tell you why this controversial 10-8 round was the best thing to ever happen
0:39.6	to the bowling. I'm also going to talk about the UFC heavyweight because some of them are finally
0:44.4	speaking up. Lots to get to boys and girls. Let's begin here.
0:48.4	Should the Shadow Mally has this next fight? What is it? Now, I shared this with you guys. This was a private

1:42.9	he got turned around and had a new phone to point was this quickly led me by my detective skills to
1:50.0	think it was going to be in December. I don't believe 2024 bookings are taking place right now.
