The fan-favorite then touches on Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier 3 and what training has been like for the Irishman.
Tim Johnson then comes on to preview his Bellator 261 main event against Valentin Moladvsky for the interim heavyweight title. Tim discusses whether or not he thought they would create the interim belt, when they may unify the title, and his career turnaround. He also talks about him returning to the military in Minnesota.
Renato Moicano joins the show to talk about his UFC Vegas 30 fight against Jai Herbert. Renato talks about his last loss to Rafael Fiziev and how this scrap is a crucial one if he’s going to remain a lightweight contender. The Brazilian then touches on his training camp and what a win over Jai does for him in the division.
Ike Villanueva closes out the program to discuss his UFC Vegas 30 fight against Marcin Prachnio. Ike talks about his last win and how he views this fight very similar to his last one where he just needs to land one good punch to get the finish. He also talks about him not fighting in his hometown of Houston at UFC 262.
