I'm back from ESPN headquarters, and I've got some things to say about UFC 301! On today's episode, I'm gonna tell you how Steve Erceg, even in a loss, was the most impressive fighter at UFC 301. Plus, I'll tell you why Anthony Smith inspires me, where Jose Aldo fits into the UFC bantamweight title picture, and what I'm hearing about Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall possibly fighting each other in July. And apparently Charles Oliveira wants to be the backup fighter for UFC 303? The following time codes are approximate:Steve Erceg's UFC 301 performance (00:00)Anthony Smith does the unexpected again (07:25)Cory Sandhagen vs. Umar Nurmagomedov is official (13:00)I'm loving Jon Jones' approach to fighting right now (21:35)Charles Oliveira's list of demands (30:10)Why does no one care about Ryan Garcia and VADA? (34:58)To support this fine program, please leave me a review on Apple Podcasts or submit a rating on my Spotify feed.
