Has the UFC Already Booked the Lightweight Title Fight? Islam Makhachev's Warning & How Will Conor McGregor Be Remembered?

from You're Welcome! With Chael Sonnen · host Chael Sonnen

Chael breaks down why the lightweight division has suddenly gone quiet, what Arman Tsarukyan and Charles Oliveira may already know, why the BMF Championship still matters, and what it all means for Justin Gaethje, Ilia Topuria, and the next UFC title fight. Then, Chael reacts to Islam Makhachev's assessment of Ian Machado Garry, explains why Garry's movement could create unexpected problems, and whether Islam's game plan tells us more about the champion than the challenger. Plus, how will Conor McGregor be remembered? Chael looks beyond recent headlines to examine the legacy of one of MMA's biggest stars and why history often tells a different story than the moment. Also, Merab Dvalishvili and Henry Cejudo meet again on the wrestling mat, and Chael explains why their rivalry continues to challenge everything he thought he knew about elite wrestling. Finally, Chael maps out the light heavyweight division as Carlos Ulberg recovers and contenders position themselves for the next title opportunity. Level up your workout.
