C'mon Now MMA Podcast 361 - Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz 3 Outside the UFC, MMA Media as UFC PR, The "Future of MMA" and more
If Conor McGregor is out of the USADA testing pool, he needs to be out of the official UFC rankings - it's only fair
Remember two years ago when Dana White told the UFC matchmakers to build the women's featherweight division? What happened with that edict?
MMA media doesn't need to carry water for the UFC, but it sure like to do free PR for the promotion
The future of the UFC is not coming until the promotion fixes its pay
Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz should do everything they can to cut the UFC out of their trilogy fight
Fighters being nervous about advocating for better pay and benefits doesn't mean they don't care about pay and benefits
C'mon Now MMA Podcast #360 - UFC Rankings are broken, Conor McGregor and USADA, "The Rock," Tony Ferguson's career and the gross Bentley story, Nate Diaz and more

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson sends a message that he doesn’t care about the UFC fighters as much as he cares about free publicity for his brand

C'mon Now MMA Podcast 358: The Potential Chaos of UFC 279, Chimaev vs Diaz and More
C'mon Now MMA Podcast 358: The Potential Chaos of UFC 279, Chimaev vs Diaz and More - Nate Diaz has the potential to be an agent of chaos at UFC 279 and we should all welcome that as fans of MMA. I also discuss the winners and losers of the Demetrious Johnson for Ben Askren trade between the UFC and ONE Championship. I'm a fan of Rafael dos Anjos looking to get a veteran's division started in the UFC. I disagree that Alex Alex Pereira's size will be an advantage against Israel Adesanya at UFC 281. I offer my opinion on how Khamzat Chimaev was the biggest loser of UFC 278, but that he has a lot more to lose at UFC 279 and talk about MMA referee Herb Dean's takes on fouls inside the cage. Thanks for listening!
Who won the Demetrious Johnson and Ben Askren trade - UFC or ONE Championship?
Rafael dos Anjos is done chasing title fights - this could help the fighters and the UFC
I think Alex Pereira's size is going to hurt him more than help him against Israel Adesanya at UFC 281
Khamzat Chimaev was the big loser at UFC 278, he could lose even more at UFC 279
Nate Diaz can bring chaos to the UFC at UFC 279
Herb Dean made some good points — and some questionable statements in talking Leon Edwards, fence grabs and fouls in MMA fights

Let’s put the UFC passed on Bo Nickal story to rest
Dominick Cruz might love Daniel Cormier, but he still doesn’t think Cormier does the work as a UFC commentator
Hey, Dana White, who is the “they” that gets a cut of UFC pay-per-view buys?
Islam Makhachev has a point, but I don’t blame Charles Oliveira for looking for low risk, high rewards fights before accepting a high risk, high reward fight

C'mon Now MMA Podcast 352 - 7-29-22 - Support Nate Diaz, Calls for UFC Change, Chimaev wrong about Adesanya, LIV Golf - but for MMA
Are you an MMA fan if you're not supporting Nate Diaz in his final UFC fight
Calls for change in the UFC need to come from inside the house and that includes MMA access media

Francis Ngannou, Boxing, UFC and Getting Paid What He Deserves
Hey, it's been a while. That's on me. I'm going to be doing short "podcasts" and not on a set schedule. Here's one on Francis Ngannou, boxing, UFC and Ngannou getting paid what he deserves.
UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou wants to box Tyson Fury. He said his next deal with the UFC needs to have a boxing clause in it. What Ngannou should really be looking for in a boxing clause is one that allows him to keep the full purse of a boxing match and not the 50 percent that Conor McGregor reportedly kept for his matchup against Floyd Mayweather. The money is just as important or more important than the ability to box while under UFC contract.
