The boys are back... Brian Campbell and UFC Hall of Famer 'Suga' Rashad Evans sit down to break down the latest news around the world and react to this past weekends fights. They start out by going a Five Rounds with Rashad. Round 1: Rashad gives his thoughts on Tyson Fury's 7th-round TKO of Deontay Wilder and all the excuses that wilder is using (7:15). Round 2: Rashad recaps his trip to UFC Fight Night Auckland, his thoughts on Dan Hooker vs Paul Felder and other notable fights on the card (15:47). Round 3: Brian and Rashad breakdown both Bellator cards from this past weekend (36:28). Round 4: Ali Abdelaziz shuts down the Justin Gaethje vs Conor McGregor rumors but it he just playing mind games (38:40)? Round 5: Jose Aldo set to face Henry Cejudo at UFC 250 but is that the biggest card that weekend or will the guys be watching Bellator 243 (41:15)? Time to switch gears... The guys play a little fill in the blank (47:15) and then preview this weekend's UFC Flyweight title bout (56:55).
