What REALLY Happened Between Sean Strickland & Khamzat Chimaev? + Ask Uncle Chael

About this episode

Chael breaks down the controversy surrounding Sean Strickland and Khamzat Chimaev’s infamous sparring sessions and asks the real question: what actually happened behind closed doors? With resurfaced footage, and conflicting stories from Strickland and Chimaev, he tells us why the missing footage may matter more than the footage that leaked.

Then learn why Conor McGregor vs Max Holloway 2 is the one fight the UFC should NOT make, why Tom Aspinall may never be the same heavyweight champion again, and what Eddie Hearn’s influence could mean moving forward. Plus, Chael dives into Islam Makhachev’s title picture, Ilia Topuria, Ian Machado Garry, Carlos Prates, Jorge Masvidal’s UFC future, and the growing rise of Josh Hokit.

Then it’s time for a loaded Ask Uncle Chael covering self-defense, Bo Nickal, MVP, Ronda Rousey, politics, fighting careers, and more.
