The Volk-Max Trilogy, Poirier vs. Diaz F...

CHAEL SONNEN
About this episode

Chael begins the show by again discussing the rumored fight between Dustin Poirier and Nate Diaz, and why it looks like it's not going to happen next month. Then, Chael dives into the newly-booked featherweight title fight in March between Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway and what the division will look like after that fight (7:35). And of course, more on Francis Ngannou vs. Ciryl Gane (19:42) and might Ngannou and Tyson Fury find themselves across from each other in the ring soon? Chael breaks it all down.
