Summary

I'm at home for today's show, so bear with me as I meander through the hallways of my mansion while waxing poetic about the latest in combat sports. Here's what's coming up:

Allegations that came out against Jon Jones this weekend, why I believe this can be a great learning experience for all parties involved, and why this situation reminds me of "To Kill a Mockingbird" (00:00)
Similarities between Jones and Lance Armstrong, and why I believe we all owe Jones an apology (13:35)
The stakes for Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 on Saturday (23:37)
My thoughts on Paddy Pimblett's callout of Renato Moicano, who fights at UFC 300 (28:20)
Why I'm not thrilled with how WrestleMania 40 ended (32:16)

0:00.0	What's happening guys? Happy Tuesday and thank you for joining another special episode of your welcome.
