UFC 311 Official Predictions! Plus, Justin Gaethje Will Fight Dan Hooker at UFC 313

On today’s episode, I give you all my thoughts on Saturday's UFC 311, but first, it seems Justin Gaethje will fight Dan Hooker at UFC 313 in March.

On today’s episode, I start with what happened in the viral video of Khabib Nurmagomedov getting removed from a Frontier Airlines flight after an exit-row dispute. Then, why I don’t want to talk about the “Greatest of All-Time” debate between Khabib and Islam Makhachev. And then, the secret grudge between Umar Nurmagomedov and Merab Dvalishvili ahead of their UFC 311 clash, why there’s no truth to a report that Alex Pereira will fight Alexander Volkov, the biggest fight in UFC history, and the controversy over the referee that stopped the Chris Curtis fight.

Jon Jones' Perfect Record, Poirier vs. Holloway 3 Rumors, and My New Favorite Fighter

With a new rule change in the UFC, some are wondering whether Jon Jones will benefit from it by having the one loss of his career moved to a no-contest.
