Brian Campbell and UFC Hall of Famer Rashad Evans recap UFC Fight Night Blaydes-Volkov and break down the latest news in the MMA world. How should Max Rohskopf's corner situation have been handled? Should fighters/corners be more okay with throwing in the towel? Does the UFC pay structure play into the Rohskopf-Drysdale situation (4:10)? Is Dana White right in his callout of Curtis Blaydes following his win over Alexander Volkov (22:15)? The guys break down Josh Emmett's win over Shane Burgos and what is next for each fighter (35:15)? Plus the guys pitch an idea as to whether or not the UFC should dramatically ramp up the fight of the night bonuses as a way to both help fighter pay and convince guys to fight even harder and riskier (37:50). Mike Tyson was on IG live talking about MMA vs Boxing pay and that sparked a potential Tyson-Jones matchup. Where is Tyson really at in his potential comeback? Could Mike Tyson beat Jon Jones in a 3 round boxing matchup (58:55)? Daniel Cormier said that he "hopes Stipe brings his wrestling shoes" to the rematch... Is that the truth or is he just trying to get into Stipe Miocic's head (1:05:00)?
