You're Welcome! With Chael Sonnen

So we now know that Nate Diaz is out of a Dustin Poirier fight. So that means...the door is open for who? As for Nate, Tony Ferguson has entered the chat. In case you missed it, the Frankie Edgar vs. Cory Sandhagen is happening, and we almost didn't know about. Here's a question...why didn't a Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul bout work? The answer is in the novelty, and the interest. And staying on the Paul family side, let's take a gander a Logan's poem. Also, Chael takes a minute to give the "Sandhagen" a push to the dictionary. Sponsored by: Athletic GreensProduced in Association with Springfield MediaOur Sponsors:* Check out Shopify and use my code chael for a great deal: https://www.shopify.com* Check out Shopify and use my code chael for a great deal: https://www.shopify.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

As it stands right now, it's the perfect time to examine how's next for Dustin Poirier. So let's do exactly that. If you're wondering about Khabib's back and forth about retiring, let's look to "The Office" for a point of reference. Then there's Dan Hooker's interview. If it was intentionally funny or not, was brutally honest and spoke volumes. Finally,  Kamaru Usman spoke up and in doing so, directly impacts his legacy. Presented by: Athletic GreensProduced in Association with Springfield Media Our Sponsors:* Check out Shopify and use my code chael for a great deal: https://www.shopify.com* Check out Shopify and use my code chael for a great deal: https://www.shopify.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

In the wake of his loss to Poirier, Conor McGregor's training has come into question. But is that the right thing to question? As for the winner of their fight, does Dustin Poirer against Nate Diaz make sense? Yes it does. So will we see it?Making sense of the Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou line. Getting click baited by training reports. Also, have we heard of the "top performer" accolade for the month. Apparently, Max Halloway has it. Even though they haven't announced anything yet, Chael has a feeling Bellator has something big on tap.Presented by: Manscaped and IP VanishProduced in Association with Springfield MediaOur Sponsors:* Check out Shopify and use my code chael for a great deal: https://www.shopify.com* Check out Shopify and use my code chael for a great deal: https://www.shopify.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
