Summary

After a wildly successful night in Las Vegas for UFC Noche, I'm here today to talk to you about the following:

Why I believe Valentina Shevchenko beat Alexa Grasso five rounds to zero, but also how I don't totally disagree with the controversial 10-8 score from judge Mike Bell (00:59)
How The Bullet and Grasso can convince the UFC to give them a trilogy fight (11:10)
Unfair criticism of Israel Adesanya, my unsolicited advice to Sean Strickland regarding his next matchup, and the only thing the new middleweight champion actually cares about (35:04)
Mystery surrounding next month's UFC 294 co-main spot between Khamzat Chimaev and Paulo Costa, and why I'm not convinced that fight will happen (55:51)

And much more.

1:10.0	It's very difficult to say, not the world doesn't want to see that fight, but it's very

1:22.5	I don't know that there's much better ideas at 125 pounds.
