UFC Des Moines Recap: Is Bo Nickal Overrated?! Plus, JDM Faces No Pressure at UFC 315

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

UFC Des Moines is in the books, and I break down Reinier de Ridder vs. Bo Nickal—including whether it’s fair to call Nickal overrated, how high de Ridder should climb in the rankings after his win, and my issue with Nickal's approach. Also, what's next for Cory Sandhagen after defeating Deiveson Figueiredo?Then, Charles Oliveira’s coach says Oliveira would prefer a fight with Ilia Topuria over Islam Makhachev—I’ll tell you why I like that idea. Plus, as we gear up for UFC 315 this weekend, I explain why Jack Della Maddalena is playing with house money. And some rare public comments from Arman Tsarukyan, who revealed he turned down a rematch with Mateusz Gamrot.And finally, I’m keeping my feud with Deontay Wilder alive as he continues to promote a crossover MMA/boxing match with Francis Ngannou. I remind him why that's stupid.To support this program, please leave me a review on Apple Podcasts or submit a rating on my Spotify page.CHAPTERS:de Ridder vs. Nickal recap (00:00)What happened with Nickal?
