You're Welcome! With Chael Sonnen

Chael breaks down one of the most fascinating nights in recent MMA history.

After rewatching Justin Gaethje vs. Ilia Topuria, Chael explains why the fight wasn't nearly as simple as the final result suggests, why Mark Goddard's controversial decision may have saved a champion, and what Arman Tsarukyan's $1 million bet says about where the lightweight division goes next.

Then, he dives into the heavyweight picture: Tom Aspinall's uncertain future, why Ciryl Gane deserves an apology, the ripple effects of Alex Pereira's loss, and why Josh Hokit may have suddenly become one of the most important names in the division.

Plus, Tyson Fury's White House appearance, Dana White's boxing ambitions, and the chaotic aftermath of Khamzat Chimaev vs. Dillon Danis at Real American Freestyle—including the brawl that stole headlines after the match ended.

What started as a dream UFC White House card just got a whole lot messier.

Chael breaks down the suddenly personal feud between Justin Gaethje and Ilia Topuria, why this fight may have found the missing ingredient it needed, and whether Topuria will really refuse to shake Gaethje's hand after it's over.

Then, Chael examines one of the biggest unanswered questions in the sport: what's really going on with Tom Aspinall? From Eddie Hearn's involvement to the heavyweight domino effect involving Ciryl Gane, Alex Pereira, Volkov, Pavlovich and Josh Hokit, the entire division could be reshaped by one result.

Plus, Chael weighs in on Dricus du Plessis calling out Kamaru Usman for not signing, why contract delays can destroy title hopes, and answers your questions during Ask Uncle Chael: including Sean O'Malley, Michael Chandler, Islam Makhachev, and Bo Nickal.

The UFC's White House card could change everything—and Chael explains why the biggest story might not be the one everyone's expecting. Could Bo Nickal force his way back into title conversations? Is Michael Chandler nearing the end of his MMA career? And why does Chael believe Josh Hokit could become one of the week's biggest headlines? Chael also breaks down why Justin Gaethje may have a much better chance against Ilia Topuria than many believe—and why Arman Tsarukyan reportedly put a million dollars behind Gaethje. Then, Chael explores what's next for Belal Muhammad - Sean O'Malley's honesty about his position at bantamweight and why so few fighters truly embrace the "I'll fight anybody" mentality.

Chael Sonnen witnessed the Jon Jones and Gable Steveson relationship firsthand, and it wasn’t what anyone thought. What looked like a strategic alliance turned out to be something much more real. But that's only the beginning. Plus, what is Eddie Hearn actually doing for Tom Aspinall? Why Arman Tsarukyan may be one fight away from becoming the UFC’s biggest star. And a contradiction at the center of the Islam Makhachev vs Ilia Topuria debate that nobody, except Chael, seems willing to talk about.
