Ilia Topuria Says the UFC Promised Him a Title Fight?! But I Want to See Oliveira vs. Topuria First!
Episode description
On today’s episode, it's clearer now more than ever that Conor McGregor's time is done with the UFC. Then, Ilia Topuria claims the UFC has promised him a lightweight title fight -- do I believe that? And, both Topuria and Charles Oliveira want a crack at Islam Makhachev next—but I'd rather see Oliveira vs. Topuria for the No. 1 contender fight. Elsewhere, Joe Pyfer isn't happy about the food poisoning that forced him to withdraw from his fight at UFC Mexico City. Plus, whether Jon Jones fights Tom Aspinall tomorrow or six months from now, I believe the outcome will be the same. And finally, Wyatt Hendrickson has won the Hodge Trophy as the top college wrestler in the country.
