  • G.O.A.T

    If Jon Jones wants to represent his country one more time and Alex gave up his belt to fight for a belt. What if the UFC makes a new GOAT belt. Jon could retire with this belt and/or Alex could move on in heavy weight with this new belt. What do you think?

  • Poetic justice

    An Ode to the American Gangster

    From the hard streets where maids were the only relief,

    He rose as a gangster, beyond all belief.

    With arms like tree trunks and a silver-tongued wit,

    He’d talk for an hour and not miss a bit.

    "I can’t let you get close!" he famously cried,

    While legends of Brazil found nowhere to hide.

    He wrestled the giants, he rattled the throne,

    With a style of aggression that was purely his own.

    Undefeated, undisputed, or so goes the tale,

    In the world of the microphone, none... more

  • Tired?

    So in your latest podcast you said if there’s a submission in the ufc it’s because the fighters are tired and give up , so in the sport of MMA with multiple ways to lose how is it that Craig Jones tapped you twice in under 2 minutes in a sport with only one way to win ? Were you tired? Or did you give up ?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

**Arman Tsarukyan Admits Post-Whistle Attack, Chuck Norris Tribute, More Ronda vs UFC & Ask Uncle Chael**
Q: Should Netflix and Eddie Hearn team up to create an ongoing MMA organization to compete with the UFC, and would a Ronda vs. Carano bout perform well numbers?
Chael thinks such a setup would be entertaining but not sustainable or meaningful in the long term for MMA storytelling, emphasizing UFC's branding and champion-focused approach.
**Arman Tsarukyan Admits Post-Whistle Attack, Chuck Norris Tribute, More Ronda vs UFC & Ask Uncle Chael**
Q: Bo Nickal says, 'Me versus you, Parterre, best of five, 20 seconds each. Who wins?'
Chael believes Bo incorporating him into the hypothetical is flattering but doubts he could confidently turn Bo, reflecting on personal limits and experience in parterre-style scenarios.
**Oliveira Dominates Holloway + White House Card Chaos! McGregor's plans, and Uncle Chael Answers Your Questions**
Q: What's your take on the White House card and the potential interim title fights?
The card is exciting because it centers the biggest stars, but the interim belt decisions have to be realistic and sustainable; it's not about chasing hype at the expense of meaningful matchups or long-term storytelling.
