This week on The Fighter vs. The Writer, UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman joins the show alongside Matt Brown and MMA Fighting senior reporter Damon Martin to discuss the latest happenings in combat sports.

Coleman offers details about his recent work with Stipe Miocic to help him prepare for Jon Jones and why the former UFC heavyweight champion will be the toughest test that Jones has ever faced in his career.

In addition to his work with Miocic, Coleman also details his own path to sobriety following an arduous battle with addiction.

We’ll also look back at UFC 294 from this past weekend where Islam Makhachev put an emphatic end to his rivalry with Alexander Volkanovski after he scored a stunning first-round knockout in the main event. Khamzat Chimaev also earned a razor-close victory over Kamaru Usman but what does that win say for his future in the middleweight division?

Plus we look ahead at the boxing match between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou scheduled on Saturday and if the former UFC heavyweight champion has a realistic shot in this fight.
