Summary

On today’s episode, I recap UFC 312, and I tell you why I’m pumping the brakes on calling Zhang Weili the best fighter in the UFC following her impressive win over Tatiana Suarez. Plus, just how good is Dricus du Plessis after his dominant over Sean Strickland? And with DDP's callout of Alex Pereira after the fight, I can't help but wonder whether that was the right move for the middleweight champ. And is DDP really the "nice guy" he appears to be? I have my doubts. And finally, I share a funny store about Dominick Cruz on the heels of the former champ's retirement. To support this program, please leave me a review on Apple Podcasts or submit a rating on my Spotify page. CHAPTERS: Zhang Weili's greatness (00:00) DDP's ceiling?
