Yancy Medeiros returns to give an update on the rib injury that forced him out of a highly-anticipated scrap against Mike Perry back in July at UFC 226, and the disappointment he felt not being able to compete and show his dramatic improvements as a martial artist. Having recently announced that he’s headed back down to lightweight, Yancy explains his reasoning behind the move to 155, his confidence against any of the elite in the division, and how making some changes to his lifestyle and training has led him to become “weak like a gorilla.” We’ll also hear Yancy’s reaction to the Diaz vs Masvidal booking, and the looming featherweight showdown between Brian Ortega and his longtime friend Max Holloway.
