How Conor McGregor Could Take Over the Sport Again. Plus, More UFC 300 Fallout and Devin Haney Vs. Ryan Garcia Preview.
About this episode
Still riding the high of an epic UFC 300 event and some massive fight announcements that were reduced to a crumpled piece of paper, Petesy Carroll, Chuck Mindenhall, and TST can’t help but begin today's show by getting into Michael Chandler vs. Conor McGregor, and all the possibilities available to the Irish megastar should he get past Chandler.
After that, they talk about Ilia Topuria’s master plan and where former featherweight king Alexander Volkanovski fits into all this. Plus, the guys give Kayla Harrison her flowers, discuss a potential future matchup between Khamzat Chimaev and Bo Nickal, and, ahead of his big boxing fight with Devin Haney, the guys wonder if Ryan Garcia is actually descending into madness, or if the 25-year-old is just one step ahead of all of us.
And, before taking some Discord questions—which are all about McGregor—the guys talk about the Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano rematch, and whether it’s a good or bad thing that it will serve as the co-main event on the Netflix-streamed Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight at AT&T Stadium.
