Summary

On today’s episode of Good Guy / Bad Guy, Daniel Cormier & Chael Sonnen recap an eventful UFC 323, starting with Petr Yan becoming the new bantamweight champion! Was the victory over Merab Dvalishvili more about Yan’s stellar performance or the former champion biting off more than he can chew with his 4th fight in a calendar year? Does ’The Machine’ warrant an immediate rematch or should the UFC turn to a different opponent for Petr Yan? In the flyweight co main event, Alexandre Pantoja lost his title to Joshua Van due to an arm injury… how do the guy think Van should feel about winning his first championship in this fashion? Much like the main event, is an immediate rematch in store at flyweight? And, Triple C officially hangs up the gloves following his loss this past weekend… DC & Chael dive into what his legacy is to the sport. Learn more about your ad choices.
