Still riding the high from the unforgettable event that was UFC 288, Ariel, Chuck, Petesy, and TST are here to discuss the following on today’s episode:

  • The aftermath of UFC 288, what’s next for Henry Cejudo, and whether the UFC is trying to punish top contender Merab Dvalishvili (5:12)
  • Tom Aspinall vs. Marcin Tybura for UFC London in July and the massive roles that Ariel and Petesy played in booking this fight (16:46)
