Summary

Right before heading off to Salt Lake City to cover UFC 291 for ESPN, Chael sits down to get into all of the latest MMA news, as well as this weekend's must-see card. On today's episode, he talks about: Michael Bisping's high praise of Tom Aspinall and Chael's take on how the British star can get to the UFC heavyweight title (00:58) Why the world's (supposedly) most dangerous man -- Jon Jones -- is a coward on social media (9:20) The official booking of Paulo Costa vs. Khamzat Chimaev and why Chael thinks this could be one of the top fights of 2023 (18:33) Whether Chael thinks we'll actually see a rematch between "retired" fighters Jorge Masvidal and Ben Askren (27:47) Then, Chael spends the rest of the show talking about UFC 291 and why tomorrow night represents a do-or-die situation for several fighters on the card (33:25). Plus, official predictions for Jan Blachowicz vs. Alex Pereira (57:17) and Dustin Poirier vs. Justin Gaethje 2 (1:03:25).And more!
