In honor of America's birthday, I'm dropping tomorrow's episode early! In this episode, I tell you why it's wrong to say that Ilia Topuria is a double champ. After that, everyone is comparing Topuria to Conor McGregor, but I've got an entirely new spin to put on it. And Matt Brown claims that Ilia Topuria would become an all-time great with a win over Arman Tsarukyan ... is he right? Then, I take you inside the inner workings of the lightweight title picture, and whether Justin Gaethje, Paddy Pimblett, or Islam Makhachev will get the next crack at the new lightweight champ. Plus, why it's about time y'all give Jake Paul the respect he deserves.
