Summary

Ariel Helwani around (7:13) recaps UFC London and Tom Aspinall’s triumphant return, the mistake Aspinall made with his callout, and more. The team discusses the possibility that Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic could be a double-retirement fight, the future of the heavyweight division and fates of potential contenders like Tom Aspinall, Jailton Almeida and Sergei Pavlovich, and more. Paul Craig around (39:33) talks about his win over Andre Muniz at UFC London, how his move to middleweight came about, work with the UFC Performance Institute, his weight cut and what he weighed on fight night, bouncing back from back-to-back losses in fights against Volkan Oezdemir and Johnny Walker, his intense staredown with Muniz before the fight, the evolution of jiu-jitsu in Scotland, why he's not done with the light heavyweight division, his desire to fight Bo Nickall or Sean Strickland, how he accidentally broke a training partner's jaw in a pro-wrestling match, his desire to headline a UFC Scotland event, and more. Tom Aspinall around (1:16:27) breaks down his win over Marcin Tybura, one of the "lowest days of his life" one year ago and reflecting on his progress since then, bouncing back from his serious knee injury, thoughts about giving up the sport during his low point, how he gets very sick the day of his fights, how a trick Georges St-Pierre told him about helps him fight better, why he expected a 25-minute fight against Tybura, his meeting with hero Louis Theroux, how advice from Michael Bisping led to his callout of the winner of Gane vs. Spivac, his thoughts on a potential fight against Sergei Pavlovich, his thoughts on Jon Jones' reaction to his win, how a fight with Jones would play out, his like for Marvin Tybura and relaying an apology to Tybura's team after his win, and more. Lerone Murphy around (1:52:26) discusses his win at UFC London on Saturday, if he gets nervous before fights, the Nathaniel Wood confrontation earlier in the week, Wood’s performance at UFC London, who he wants next, a past bike accident, his recent performances, and more. Grayson Waller around (2:18:21) discusses his broken leg before the draft, where he was picked, if they would bring his show over, being compared to The Miz, paying tribute to Conor McGregor in his MSG debut, squaring off against John Cena, why he became a pro wrestler, why he stopped MMA, training with Robert Whittaker, his admiration with Chael Sonnen, starting the shoey after Tai Tuivasa, his issues with The Rock, his photo with Dillon Danis, and more. The parlay boys around (3:03:10) look back at the most recent selection, and GC recaps his picks for UFC London.
