UFC 310 Triple Threat: Mookie's on Deck | Ep. 342

UFC 310 has enough juice when it comes to really good action fights, even if there’s a few odd mismatches here and there. But man, you’d be forgiven for forgetting there was even a PPV event at all this weekend. Worse still, it’s a guy making his UFC debut in a title challenge in the most challenging division to move ahead in: the dreaded flyweight division.Also, former champ Aljamain Sterling is relegated to the prelims on this one, as are former main eventers Anthony Smith and Chris Weidman (another former champ). Feels like there’s zero buzz around it, but our mainest man and former co-host Mookie Alexander joins us to try to make sense of all of this and make some picks. One last thing: what exactly is going on with Bellator? PFL absorbed them only to do… well, it’s hard to tell what, exactly. Fighters want out and former champ Gegard Mousasi is straight-up taking legal action. Hard times, baby.
