On today’s episode, Ariel Helwani, a still-drunk Chuck Mindenhall, and professional news-breaker Petesy Carroll take some questions from the audience, discussing topics like:

• Whether UFC welterweight contender Geoff Neal is too big a step-up for rising Irish star Ian Machado Garry (9:28)
• Where Patrício Pitbull will rank among all-time greats if he’s able to secure a third Bellator title in a third weight class this weekend at Bellator 297 (20:57)
• Best crowds the guys have witnessed at UFC events they've attended (35:04)
• How the UFC should move forward with the women’s bantamweight decision, leading to 3PAC coming to the defense of former champ Julianna Peña (39:32)

Plus, the lads talk about the complicated UFC middleweight title picture as Jared Cannonier and Marvin Vettori get ready to throw down at the illustrious UFC Apex on Saturday (51:07).
