Kamaru Usman and Henry Cejudo jump into the studio to talk to Islam Makhachev weeks before his upcoming Lightweight Title Fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 302.

Before Islam, Kamaru and Henry react to Derrick Lewis’ cup launch and the growing relationship between the UFC and WWE.

And BIG NEWS… Underdog Fantasy Sports is an official partner of the Pound 4 Pound show with Kamaru Usman and Henry Cejudo! The guys have fun exploring the app and making their own picks for Saturday’s UFC Fight Night with Lerone Murphy and Edson Barboza.

The guys ask Islam about his relationship with Khabib Nurmagomedov, growing up in Dagestan with the top fighters in the world, his strategy against Dustin Poirier, how he feels about a fantasy fight against Conor McGregor, and his thoughts on the 155 landscape as a whole.

After a debrief on the Islam conversation, Kamaru and Henry react to ESPN’s rankings of the top 15 undefeated MMA fighters. Is Ilia Topuria’s #1 slot too high, is Bo Nickal worthy of the list at just 6-0? Who gets the edge… Usman Nurmagomedov or Islam Makhachev?
