Sorting out EVERYTHING we witnessed at UFC 257. The "weapon of choice" that changed the fight. Taking a minute to look at things from Dustin Poirier's perspective and what got him there. Beyond that, Coach Cavanaugh's coolness and the perfect way to handle the idea of the next fight in the trilogy.
Chael also sets up the Jake Paul and Ben Askren fight, and gives Jake his due. Also, how about this...how's the "Most Exciting Fighter" in the game?

0:00.0 | What's happening guys? Happy Wednesday! And thank you for joining another special episode of your welcome! |
0:13.0 | Who? Where do we begin? What a week! But what a night and let's get right into the |
0:27.1 | co-main event. So if I was to be very fair about how I would have ranked the |
0:32.8 | light weights coming into this weekend, I would have put Chandler at 4. Now that's |
0:37.7 | not an insult to Chandler because I believe as you believe that we've identified |
0:44.2 | the top guys. So while we all agree that 155 pounds is the toughest division in |

1:28.5 | Kormier. You just don't see a lot of the the take him down and keep him there so I resisted that narrative. |
1:34.1 | Well if they hit up on their feet it's gonna favor Hooker and even the Chandler |
1:37.9 | supporters agree to that. Well you had Michael's not gonna beat him on his feet but |
1:41.8 | he's not gonna have to. Okay well just hold the thought because one thing that |
1:45.1 | comes when you have the ability to get a takedown, when you have the ability to |
1:49.1 | threaten a takedown you will change the reactions of your opponent and when |
1:54.4 | your opponent begins to react to the threat. The threat of the takedown is very |
