Michael Chandler Believes Conor McGregor...

CHAEL SONNEN
About this episode

Howdy folks! On today’s episode of the best podcast in combat sports, I get into all the week’s biggest stories, starting with Michael Chandler's thoughts on Conor McGregor’s return. Then, I talk about Jon Jones's comments on his fight with Stipe Miocic being “likely” his last. After that, I dive into the potential matchup of Henry Cejudo vs. Sean O’Malley, as well as Merab Dvalishvili’s plan for his next title fight. To close out, I discuss Khamzat Chimaev’s decision to get back to his roots and return to his original wrestling gym in Sweden, and talk Mike Tyson’s alarming inability to walk despite being 2 months out from his bout with Jake Paul.


The following time codes are approximate:

 

  • Michael Chandler on Conor McGregor’s potential return (00:00)
  • Will Jon Jones retire after UFC 309? (10:34)
  • Henry Cejudo wants to fight Sean O’Malley (22:11)
  • Merab Dvalishvili’s championship plan (34:49)
  • Khamzat Chimaev’s return to his roots (43:55)
  • Mike Tyson’s inability to walk (52:46)
