Summary

Brian Campbell and UFC Hall of Famer Rashad Evans break down the latest news in the MMA world. There are reports that a Kamaru Usman vs Conor McGregor could be the next fight for the welterweight title. Does this fight make any sense? Could Conor McGregor handle the size of Kamaru Usman (7:00)? Will Jorge Masvidal fight Nate Diaz next (15:43)? Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou take to twitter to lobby for a fight but Dana White seems to have other plans. Does Jon Jones deserve the money he is asking for to fight Ngannou (23:05)? Mike Tyson is training for a potential comeback.. and that means the guys at BKFC are offering up big money for a potential Mike Tyson vs Wanderlei Silva fight (35:02). Rashad and Brian discuss Henry Cejudo's retirement (42:01). PLUS a full preview of UFC Fight Night Tyron Woodley vs Gilbert Burns (56:30). ---------------------------------- 'State of Combat' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
