Covington v. Masvidal Reaction, Makhache...

CHAEL SONNEN
About this episode

A few days removed from UFC 272, Chael offers his analysis of Colby Covington vs. Jorge Masvidal. Then, Chael wonders who each guy will fight next and whether any brave soul will call out Covington (10:52).  After that, Chael discusses Islam Makhachev's recent social media posts regarding the Rafael dos Anjos fight that didn't happen (31:10), as well as whether Khabib Nurmagomedov's coaching career could possibly top his 29-0 fighting career when it's all said and done (43:02).
