About the episode

From the bowels of the Co-Op Arena in Manchester, England, a deliriously sleepy Petesy Carroll is joined by Chuck Mindenhall and Troy Farkas in this UFC 304 reaction episode. After Petesy tells the guys about the vibes in the arena throughout the night, they discuss Belal Muhammad's crowd-silencing decision victory over Leon Edwards. And after briefly touching on what’s next for both Muhammad and Edwards, they move over to Tom Aspinall’s show-stealing performance, which leaves the guys further questioning why Dana White and the UFC brass are so insistent that Jon Jones fight Stipe Miocic in November. Then, they talk about Paddy Pimblett’s breakout performance over King Green, Pimblett’s star power in the arena, and why he’s sure to crack the lightweight rankings now. Plus, Muhammad Mokaev's win over Manel Kape may not be enough to keep the undefeated flyweight in the UFC. And finally, some Discord questions.
