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: Merab vs. Cejudo on the Mat, Paddy Pimblett Called a Weight Bully & NSAC Withholds 3 UFC Stars' Pay
Chael just got back from Real American Freestyle in Cleveland and it was the best event they've ever put on. Bo Nickel, Jordan Burroughs, Jason Nolf, Gable Steveson, and Merab Dvalishvili all on the same card. And Merab steps on the mat with two-time Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo and loses. Chael explains why that result means more than people think. Then UFC Sacramento: Anthony "Fluffy" Hernandez loses to Gregory "Robocop" Rodrigues in a war, and Chael makes the case that losing like Fluffy did is its own kind of win, and that he's still one of the best guys in the division who keeps getting passed over for the opportunity. Paddy Pimblett rehydrates to 190 pounds and gets called a weight bully. Chael thinks that's exactly backwards and explains why. Then the big story: Paddy Pimblett, Max Holloway, and Gable Steveson all climbed the cage after their UFC 329 wins and the Nevada State Athletic Commission withheld their pay. Daniel Cormier says leave them alone. Chael disagrees, and has the receipts. A broken cameraman's leg and Dan Henderson's torn ACL are exactly where this rule came from.

Number 3: 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 4: 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.
