UFC 270 Fallout: Ngannou's Next Move, Lu...

CHAEL SONNEN
About this episode

In a YouTube live stream that originally aired on Saturday night, Chael tells you why he felt very underwhelmed after watching UFC 270, and why the four fighters at the top of the card are to blame. Then, Chael discusses Francis Ngannou's frayed relationship with the UFC and when we might see him next (21:08), an interesting take on the best heavyweight on the planet right now (33:20) and the state of the flyweight division following the trilogy fight between Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno.
