In this special Tuesday edition of the program, Ariel, Chuck, and Petesy preview one of the best top-to-bottom UFC cards in recent memory. Today, the guys discuss:

• Who Jon Jones is (6:50)
• If Jones—after three years away—can still skate by on sheer talent or if the years of partying will finally catch up to him on Saturday night against Ciryl Gane

• A massive test for rising lightweight Jalin Turner against Mateusz Gamrot (54:30)
