News of the Week
🔸 Tom Aspinall vs Jon Jones
The conversation shifts to the UFC heavyweight division, particularly the ongoing saga involving Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall. Moicano and MattyBetss express frustration over Jones potentially avoiding a fight with Aspinall, with rumors suggesting a matchup between Aspinall and Ciryl Gane happening instead.
They debate the division’s lack of star power and depth, noting that Aspinall’s well-rounded skills make him a standout, while other contenders like Waldo Cortez Acosta show promise but lack hype.

🔸 Wide Open LW Division
The lightweight division is described as a “mess” due to uncertainties surrounding champion Islam Makhachev. The hosts speculate that Makhachev might vacate the belt, leading to a potential Dustin Poirier vs. Charles Oliveira fight for the title during International Fight Week.
They analyze Poirier’s striking advantage over Oliveira, while acknowledging the division’s logjam with contenders like Arman Tsarukyan and Justin Gaethje waiting in the wings.

Show Me The Funny
🔸 McGregor for President
Renato Moicano recounts a 78-year-old woman at a dinner table claiming Conor McGregor would be a great president for Ireland, saying, “She started to talk about how Conor McGregor will make Ireland good again, you know, great again. And I say that lady doesn’t know what she’s talking about.”
The absurdity of the elderly fan’s political endorsement and Moicano’s baffled reaction are hilarious in real-time.

🔸 Replacing Gilbert Burns
The hosts jokingly threaten to “fight” Gilbert Burns if he skips another podcast episode, with Moicano quipping, “I think we should fight he like Donald Trump. My brother Gilbert Burns. You fighting him? Oh my God.”
The absurd comparison to Trump and their mock outrage at Burns’ absence is pure comedic gold. Who knows if Burns will still have a job come next week…
