Alex Pereira 22 Pounds Overweight!? Plus, Justin Gaethje an Underdog Against Rafael Fiziev
Episode description
On today’s episode, I dive into Alex Pereira coming into fight week 22 pounds overweight, and why I’d love to see him make the move to heavyweight after UFC 313.
Then, Justin Gaethje is the betting underdog against Rafael Fiziev—does that surprise you? I also have no reason to believe Dustin Poirier will hang up the gloves any time soon based on the things he's saying recently.
And with talks of Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall going nowhere, my sources tell me the UFC hasn't even offered Jones the fight. Then, I conclude by breaking down the revisionist history surrounding Ronda Rousey’s loss to Holly Holm, which Rousey's former coach is now labeling "a $4.5 million mistake." And finally, I pay tribute to a revolutionary in wrestling.
