from WEIGHING IN Hosted by John McCarthy & Josh Thomson's MMA Show

It’s a loaded episode of Weighing In as Josh Thomson is joined by John Morgan and Big John McCarthy to tackle the biggest stories in MMA. The guys discuss the latest surrounding Conor McGregor and the growing speculation about his long-awaited UFC return, including what the best matchup is and how his comeback could impact the lightweight division. They also look back at the historic UFC White House event celebrating America's 250th anniversary, discussing the atmosphere, significance of the event, and whether it lived up to the hype as one of the most unique cards in UFC history. Finally, Big John uses his decades of officiating experience to break down the controversial rule violations and referee decisions from UFC Baku. From fouls and officiating mechanics to how commissions interpret the Unified Rules of MMA, he explains what actually happened, why certain calls were made, and whether the criticism from fans was justified.
