Is Alex Pereira Vs. Khalil Rountree “Terrible” for MMA? Plus, More Ronda Rousey Drama and “Next-Level Stupidity” From Merab Dvalishvili. Aug 22, 2024

Last week, Salt Lake City was awarded another fantastic UFC card. And on today’s episode, the trio of Petesy Carroll, Chuck Mindenhall, and Troy Farkas debate whether the UFC 307 main event between Alex Pereira and Khalil Rountree is “terrible” for the sport, as Jamahal Hill thinks it is. They discuss whether Rountree is deserving of the moment, why the UFC refuses to give Magomed Ankalaev a title shot, as well as the rest of the card.

Next, the lads talk about the latest online beef between old foes Ronda Rousey and Cris Cyborg, leading the guys down memory lane. And speaking of beef, the guys then talk about the latest online jabs traded between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall and whether all of this will make an eventual fight between the two heavyweights more or less likely. Then, the guys preview Saturday’s UFC Apex card, which leads Troy to give the guys an extraterrestrial history lesson.

And to close out the show, they answer Discord questions about the biggest “ducks” in UFC history, favorite memories from the podcast, the future of the show without Ariel Helwani, and more.
