Summary

On today’s episode, I give you all my thoughts on Saturday's UFC 311, but first, it seems Justin Gaethje will fight Dan Hooker at UFC 313 in March. Then, Alex Pereira put out a video of himself sparring without headgear. And, I also tell you three options Jon Jones has for his next move. Later on, I explain why there’s only one real team in MMA, and also why Arman Tsarukyan is only focusing on business after this title fight. And finally, Islam Makhachev’s momentum heading into his title defense against Tsarukyan, and my official prediction for Merab Dvalishvili vs. Umar Nurmagomedov.
