UFC 292 Reaction: Sean O'Malley Has CHANGED MMA! Plus, USADA TKO's Conor McGregor

In my special UFC 292 reaction episode, I discuss the following after a WILD weekend in Boston for ol' Uncle Chael:

Why I think new UFC bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley has just transformed MMA as we know it (00:56)
Aljamain Sterling's post-fight comments and the thing he said that no one else is picking up on (7:33)
Whether Ian Machado Garry is the good guy or the bad guy (15:29)
Why I believe Chris Weidman should be holding his head up high today despite the tough loss to Brad Tavares (26:14)
Conor McGregor's strange voice notes and how his battle with USADA shows he's losing his stronghold on the sport (33:07)

And guess what? I wrote the foreword to my producer's FIRST book! If you want to see my masterful writing, check out the paperback on Amazon or the e-books at this link.
