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?

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

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.

UFC fighters get six months suspensions after fights, why would the UFC, which served as the commission in Abu Dhabi, allow fighters to compete with broken noses before fights?
What’s the story behind Usman getting approved to fight?
Why should we trust the UFC to serve as its own commission?
UFC fighters speak in support of mental health, but the UFC doesn’t offer its fighters mental health care. That takes some guts
UFC should offer fighters real health care benefits
Casey Kenney, Tim Welch and Sean O’Malley show their asses on podcast
Megan Anderson gets a half-assed apology from Kenney
Kenney should be pulled from UFC 259
Nothing will happen to Kenney because he’s just following the lead of UFC president Dana White
The UFC’s useless code of conduct
The least the UFC can do is pull Kenney from UFC 259,
UFC needs to train its fighters and its president how to avoid being an a*e
Dana White is head clown
Jon Anik spoke up about Kenney

Today’s Topic:
Dana White has claimed that the greed of the fighters is what is hurting boxing. I don’t buy that, but I do think the greed of White and the UFC ownership group is costing the UFC as far as talent and quality goes. I also find White’s claim the UFC pay structure reflects the “real” world to be untrue. Let me explain.

The UFC 255 might have been fun for Jon Anik, Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier might have been fun for them, but it was not enjoyable for those watching the pay-per-view event.
Dana White once again oversteps his bounds by telling an independent contractor he won’t allow him to return to Brazil. White also ignores health and safety to make a UFC title fight with a quick turnaround.
Why did the MMA media blow smoke up Dana White’s ass at the UFC 255 presser?
The MMA media asked Dana White a soft question about Mike Perry at the UFC 255 post-fight press conference and White only addressed Perry as a fun fighter. C’mon now.
Cody Garbrandt says he is having issues with blood clots associated with COVID-19. What is the UFC doing for fighters who have or have had COVID-19? It does not sound as if it is going above and beyond as far as testing goes. Also, what is it doing for these fighters in a financial sense?

The UFC needs to define what it is looking for when it comes to fight-night bonuses. You know, like every other sport or job does. (0:19)
Could the UFC call Conor McGregor’s bluff and ask him why he’s using Dustin Poirier’s charity as a negotiating tool? “Hey Conor, how about you just give to charity without a threat?” (09:58)
Knowing Conor McGregor is using the UFC and Dustin Poirier to train for a Manny Pacquiao boxing match in 2021. There’s a lot to think about here, especially the fact that the UFC will probably get more from the boxing match with zero expenses or risks. (13:21)
Khabib Nurmagomedov has no desire to put Conor McGregor back in the spotlight and I appreciate that. (17:12)

The story shouldn’t be about Israel Adesanya’s actions, but it should be about Paulo Costa and MMA’s culture of homophobia, sexism and racism. It’s time to look in the mirror and address the big problems. (01:12)
The pressure Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier put on the UFC with their charity event seems as if it might have worked. We still need to find out about the money and the charity aspect. (09:03)
If there is a loophole in UFC deals to allow “charity” events without UFC approval, expect that to get closed in a big hurry. (14:14)

Jessica-Rose Clark is not the only UFC fighter who needs to look for other sources of income. I suspect the number of fighters doing the same will increase with the DWCS signings. Could that lead to change? I don’t think so, but I still have hope. (20:48)
