Shaun and Chuck break down all the action from UFC 249 starting with Justin Gaethje’s brilliant performance against Tony Ferguson en route to the interim Lightweight title, what could be next for El Cucuy, and whether he’ll be a changed fighter going forward.

Next, the guys talk about Henry Cejudo’s impressive win over Dominick Cruz, the legitimacy of Triple C’s retirement, Cruz accusing referee Keith Peterson of smelling like “alcohol and cigarettes”, and what could be next for the former Bantamweight champ.

Then, the guys discuss Francis Ngannou’s twenty-second demolition of Jairzinho Rozenstruik, his status as the Heavyweight division’s heir apparent, Stipe-DC 3, and Calvin Kattar’s breakout performance against Jermey Stephens.

Plus, undercard highlights including Bryce Mitchell’s twister-filled drubbing of Charles Rosa, the Vicente Luque-Niko Price bloodbath, and Showtime Pettis out-striking a game Cowboy Cerrone.

And, the guys close the show with a quick preview of Wednesday night’s card, featuring Anthony Smith vs. Glover Teixeira in the main event.
