I kick off today's show with some stories from my week that you have to hear. After that, why isn't anybody talking about a trilogy between Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev? And in more UFC 320 fallout, Sean O’Malley says he’s the only one who can beat Merab Dvalishvili. Plus, the UFC rankings FINALLY got it right!

And with the UFC rumored to be targeting Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje as the headliner for their Paramount debut, where does that leave Paddy Pimblett? Also, there’s a lot of speculation surrounding Conor McGregor’s 18-month suspension. And finally, as Ian Machado Garry gets ready to face Belal Muhammad at UFC Qatar in November, I have to admit - I’ve missed the Irishman!
