You're Welcome! With Chael Sonnen

Conor McGregor may have changed Chael's mind.

After sitting down with Conor in Las Vegas, Chael explains why McGregor looked different, sounded different, and ultimately convinced him he truly believes he can beat Max Holloway. From the weight cut and five-round concerns to Conor's future in the UFC, Chael shares what stood out most from their conversation.

Then, Chael breaks down why Paddy Pimblett may have chosen the toughest possible opponent in Benoît Saint Denis, what a win or loss really means for Paddy's future, and why the matchup carries more risk than reward.

Plus, Chael responds to the latest controversy surrounding Conor McGregor and PED allegations, explains why he believes the criticism misses the mark, and weighs in on the growing conversation around Josh Hokit and Gable Steveson, urging fans to let two of wrestling's top heavyweight prospects develop before rushing the rivalry.

Jon Jones says he wants to fight again, but Chael explains why his window may be closing faster than people realize. Who makes the most sense: Tom Aspinall, Ciryl Gane, Alex Pereira, or someone else? And why does Chael believe the heavyweight division could leave Jon behind if he waits too long? Then, Chael tackles the reports surrounding Floyd Mayweather's finances, why boxing's biggest paydays have never added up, and what would actually have to change for Floyd to solve the problem. Plus, Herb Dean comes under fire after another controversial weekend. Chael explains why MMA doesn't have a rules problem. It has an enforcement problem.
