Summary

Brian Campbell reacts to Dana White's announcement that UFC 249 will take place on May 9 with the first of three cards in eight days. Has White's war with the media got in the way of important newsgathering? How loaded is the card as a whole and should Amanda Nunes face criticism for pulling out? BC also chats with Bellator MMA stars Michael Chandler and Aaron Pico about dealing with the quarantine and what's next for both including Chandler's impending free agency and why he feels he is best fit to defeat Khabib Nurmagomedov. ------------------------------ 'State of Combat' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
