– The drama surrounding Conor McGregor being pulled from UFC 200, his “retirement” on Twitter, the new headliner of Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier, and the circumstances that led to Jones vs. Cormier II being pulled from UFC 197 to begin with
– Benson Henderson’s rough welcome into Bellator
– The UFC’s new morning weigh-in policy and how it’s affected the game
– The UFC 198 Brazilian megashow and why UFC hasn’t been back to the country for a PPV since then
