Shaun and Chuck welcome Easton Training Center owner and head coach of the Elevation Fight Team, Eliot Marshall, to the show and discuss the culture and structure of training for the team, Justin Gaethje’s technical improvement under Trevor Wittman, whether he prefers a Khabib or Conor McGregor matchup next for Justin, Drew Dober’s big leap forward over his last several fights, particularly against Alexander Hernandez, why Alistair Overeem has been able to continue competing at a high-level now into his forties, Cory Sandhagen’s next fight, being able to use the word “failure” without being personally attached to it, and much more.

First, The Athletic MMA’s own Josh Gross joins the show to debate whether Jon Jones should fight Francis Ngannou next or not, how the fight might play out, the odds that it actually happens, and more. And, the guys hand out their second-ever unanimous Interim Title of the Week to close the show.
