Number 1: Islam Makhachev the GOAT? Who's Next at 170 Prates or Morales? Ian Garry's Hugs & Ask Uncle Chael
Chael isn't ready to hand Islam Makhachev the GOAT title just yet, and he's got a name nobody's talking about that might have a better argument. Shavkat Rakhmonov is undefeated, has finished almost everybody, and already beat Ian Machado Garry. So what exactly did Islam prove Saturday night? Chael has opinions. Then there's the Ian Garry hug situation.The pre-fight hug, the mid-fight hug, the post-fight hug, and the post-fight lecture Garry gave Michael Morales backstage that nobody asked for. Carlos Prates says he was promised the next title shot and signed an eight-fight deal on that basis. Josh Hokit and Alex Pereira get matched up, on paper anyway, while the heavyweight division tries to figure out if Tom Aspinall and Ciryl Gane are actually fighting or not. Then, Ask Uncle Chael covers Team Quest, Homer Moore, marriage, bicep curls, GME, and whether the GOAT label means anything at all.

Number 2: Tyson Fury's Revisionist History, Tom Aspinall Isn't Coming Back & Is Paddy vs. Arman Tsarukyan a Real Title Eliminator?
Tom Aspinall just put out a statement saying he's not leaving the UFC. Chael breaks down what that statement actually says versus what it doesn't, and why the difference matters for the entire heavyweight division. Ciryl Gane is the interim champion. The division has two belts and the worst-selling pay-per-view of last year. Where does this go? Then Paddy Pimblett vs. Arman Tsarukyan is being billed as a number one contenders fight for Justin Gaethje's title. Chael was in Philly, interviewed both men, and came away with one very confident quote from Tsarukyan and one very measured answer from Pimblett. He explains why the sport needs to honor what this fight is supposed to be. Tyson Fury says he didn't train for the Francis Ngannou fight because it wasn't a real fight. Chael explains exactly why that story doesn't hold up. Ask Uncle Chael covers the difference between a hardcore MMA fan and a casual, the state of WWE with Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, and why collegiate wrestling is the single biggest advantage any fighter can have.

Number 3: An Even Bigger Problem Now for Ian Garry, Islam Makhachev Gets Challenged & Gillian Robertson Proves Herself
Ian Garry lost. Chael doesn't care about the loss. He cares about everything Garry said and did after: the mindset, the Morales exchange, and why wanting Islam Makhachev's approval is the worst thing a fighter can want. Then, who's next at welterweight gets sorted: Morales, Prates, and whether Garry has a real road back. Chael also asks out loud whether Islam is actually the best fighter alive or if we're all just agreeing on that. Chael also gets personal revisiting his 1994 national championship match against Isaac Wood and the one mistake that still bothers him. Plus, Gillian Robertson finally gets the credit she didn't get enough of. And Dean Thomas stepped away from cornering after the Dern fight. Chael thinks the apology was real.

Number 5: Khamzat Chimaev Calls Out the Whole Division, Usman Nurmagomedov Is UFC-Bound & Song Yadong Just Shocked the World
Khamzat Chimaev is calling out Sean Strickland, Dricus du Plessis, Nassourdine Imavov, and Caio Borralho all at once. Chael sorts out which of those fights actually happen and which one is a waste of a callout. Usman Nurmagomedov is UFC-bound and nobody in the top 15 wants that phone call. Dan Hooker is the only one raising his hand. Chael explains why that's exactly right and why every other fighter in the division is leaving opportunity on the table. Then Song Yadong knocks out Umar Nurmagomedov as a massive underdog in Shanghai, and Chael doesn't think the better fighter won. He breaks down the millisecond that decided the fight, why the Nurmagomedov team style was always going to get caught, and what Song completely failed to do in the post-fight interview that could cost him everything. Usman jumps the cage to get to his fallen brother. Against the rules? Yes. Awesome? Also yes. Henry Cejudo demands an immediate rematch. Chael pushes back hard. Muhammad Mokaev won a championship and wants back into the UFC. Chael says the door might be open and explains why the path there is one of the hardest roads in the sport.
