About the episode
Just a few days after a weekend of smashing Spotify Live records, Ariel Helwani, Petesy Carroll, and Chuck Mindenhall return to give the best community in MMA what they want. The guys spend the whole show taking calls from listeners, discussing things like:
- Floyd Mayweather’s upcoming boxing fight against YouTuber Deji (15:30)
- Criticism of Nate Diaz following his UFC 279 win over Tony Ferguson (35:44)
- Whether Khamzat Chimaev or Colby Covington would be the villain if the two were to fight one another (44:00)
- Fighter of the Year candidates (50:56)
- The recently announced Oct. 29 featherweight fight between Calvin Kattar and Arnold Allen (56:26)
But before all of that, 3PAC shares their memories of Canadian fighter Elias Theodorou, who passed away this week at age 34 following a battle with colon cancer.
