You're Welcome! With Chael Sonnen29 Aug 2023

Max Holloway Did the Right Thing, Conor McGregor’s Troll Job, and I Want To Fight Volkanovski!

After an emotional weekend in combat sports, I discuss the following on today's episode:

Max Holloway's win over The Korean Zombie and what's next for the former UFC featherweight champion (00:45)
Ilia Topuria saying he'll tap out Alexander Volkanovski and why I think that's a dumb thing to say (18:29)
Why I commend Conor McGregor for a tweet he put out this weekend about the Michael Chandler fight (28:16)
How UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya reminds me of boxing legend Jack Johnson (36:37)
Why Merab Dvalishvili just made a big mistake (45:36)

Plus, I tell you why the Logan Paul fight is Dillon Danis' last hope.
