Episode notes

Shaun and Chuck recap a rare midweek event as Glover Teixeira put himself back into the Light Heavyweight title mix with a brutal win over Anthony Smith and discuss whether Lionheart’s corner should’ve thrown in the towel, if Glover’s career resurgence is for real, and more.

Then, the guys talk about Drew Dober’s breakout performance against Alexander Hernandez, and who makes sense for him next, Ben Rothwell’s callout of Alexei Oleinik, OSP’s potential at Heavyweight, Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou going back and forth on Twitter, hinting at a potential future fight, another frustrating Michael Johnson loss, friend of the show Brian Kelleher continuing his winning ways as a Contender Series Slayer, and his callout of Sean O’Malley, and Andrei Arlovski’s uncanny ability to continue fighting at a high level for the last two decades.

Plus, a discussion about Conor McGregor’s post-UFC 249 tweetstorm, and if Justin Gaethje should fight him or Khabib next, a UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Harris preview, and as always to close the show, the guys hand out their Interim Titles of the Week.
