The whole crew is back Brian Campbell, Brandon Wise and UFC Hall of famer Rashad Evans break down all the news of the past week. We start by going five rounds with Rashad... Round 1: Who is to blame for the lackluster UFC 248 main event. Did Israel Adesanya feel Yoel Romero's power in round one and change his game plan for rounds two through five? Was this fight as close as Yoel Romero thought (6:30)? Round 2: an early fight of the year candidate happened in the UFC 248 co-main event as Weili Zhang defeated Joanna Jedrzejczyk via split decision. Where does Weili-Joanna rank for the guys all time (26:21)? Round 3: Daniel Cormier thanks Stipe Miocic on twitter... does this mean that we are getting Daniel Cormier-Stipe Miocic 3 (43:10)? Round 4: Dustin Poirier vs Dan Hooker is in the works for UFC San Diego on May 16th (48:59). Round 5: Amanda Nunes vs Felicia Spencer is official for UFC 250 (53:58). Following Round five the guys transition to a fill in the blank segment based off our exclusive Khabib Nurmagomedov (57:15), Justin Gaethje (1:04:02) and Kamaru Usman interviews (109:47). Finally the guys get to preview Bellator 241 (1:19:30) and UFC Fight Night Kevin Lee vs Charles Oliveira (1:25:00).
