Summary

On today’s episode, Rafael Fiziev steps up on short notice to replace Dan Hooker at UFC 313 against Justin Gaethje. While Fiziev said yes, Gaethje is also revealing the names that said no - including Dustin Poirier. Then, I tell you why it was a dirty move for Chris Eubank Jr. to slap Conor Benn in the face with an egg. Plus, Francis Ngannou admits he wasn’t fully confident before the Tyson Fury fight, and I really appreciate his honesty. Also, what will Henry Cejudo do next? Darren Till also wants to return to the UFC; remember that time he fought Dricus Du Plessis in a close fight? And finally, I tell you what I enjoyed from the most recent FloWrestling Night in America. To support this program, please leave me a review on Apple Podcasts or submit a rating on my Spotify page.
