You're Welcome! With Chael Sonnen

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.
