September 05, 2023Israel Adesanya’s Tough Decision, the Curious Case of Jiri Prochazka, and the First Time I Met Sean Strickland!
After another thrilling card in Paris, I'm here to react to the action and I'm also going to give you a little sneak peek into Saturday's upcoming UFC 293. Here's what to expect on today's episode:
Ciryl Gane performed beautifully on the cage, but terribly on the microphone (00:58)
The first time I ever met Sean Strickland and whether I ever thought a kid like that would make it to a UFC title fight (21:22)
If Israel Adesanya wins on Saturday, will he call out Dricus Du Plessis or the winner of Paulo Costa vs. Khamzat Chimaev? (30:32)
I believe Marlon Vera is a guarantee to be Sean O'Malley's next opponent; the only question that's left is ... when will it happen? (43:13)
