In the final live show of the decade, Ariel begins by offering his reactions to UFC 245. He then welcomes one of the darlings of the weekend, 20-year-old featherweight Chase "The Dream" Hooper, to talk about the origin of his UFC dreams, the public's perception of him, why he's a "weird dude" and much more (16:35). Then, welterweight Geoff Neal discusses his knockout of Mike Perry, why he'd rather wait for a title shot than rush into one and his decision to stop waiting tables in his free time (29:42). Next, welterweight contender Leon Edwards explains why Kamaru Usman's performance didn't impress him and if he's worried the UFC will favor Jorge Masvidal for the title shot over him (44:40). Then, after winning a fight she failed to make weight for, Jessica "Evil" Eye reveals why she missed weight before talking about life in Las Vegas and how long it took her to get over the tough loss to Valentina Shevchenko in June (1:00:15). After that, PFL's Kayla Harrison previews her Dec. 31 bout before discussing her decision to resign with PFL and why she refuses to cut weight (1:15:52). Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson, who defeated Vicente Luque at UFC 244, then joins Ariel in studio (and is presented with a gift) to talk about the state of the welterweight division, who he'll fight next, if he thinks he'll regret it if he never wins a UFC belt, Usman's impressive performance, Colby Covington's toughness, his close relationship with his father and more (1:28:21). Australian featherweight Megan Anderson then steps in the studio to break some news about her next fight and also to discuss what it would take to earn a shot at Amanda Nunes (2:06:02). She then opens up about her mental health battles and the suicide attempt that landed her in the hospital before she ever started fighting, but also about MMA's impact on her and how it's allowed her to take control of her life (2:06:02). Lastly, after losing to Petr Yan this past weekend, UFC Hall of Famer Urijah Faber tells Ariel if he regrets taking the fight before speculating on his future in the sport and discussing what it's like for his loved ones to watch him lose so handily (2:46:44).
