Dustin Poirier retires, Big Tom gets Ciryl Gane & Jon Jones can’t fight at the White House

We had a lot to catch up on this week after missing last week’s show: UFC 318 and Dustin Poirier’s retirement fight; what the future holds now for Max Holloway; the recent booking of three UFC title fights — including Big Tommy Gas Hands against The Good Kid, Ciryl Gane; Jon Jones un-retiring to fight at the White House and being immediately told he won’t be fighting at the White House; whether it’s time for Bobby Knuckles to walk away and most importantly: if you attack Yoel Romero with a sword and he LIVES? He’ll see you soon, boy!

Plus, an update on Ben’s travels and a spirited defense of the role of journalism in our society from … Brendan Schaub???
