Jake Paul’s HUGE Risk. Plus, Israel Adesanya’s Out for Blood, and What Should Michael Chandler Do?

It’s a breaking news episode of the program! Today, Ariel Helwani, Chuck Mindenhall, and Petesy Carroll react to news that Jake Paul will take on one of our own, Mike Perry, in a boxing match on July 20. Is it a risky move for Paul, who is still slated to receive a massive November payday for the Netflix fight with Mike Tyson? The guys discuss that, as well as their expectations for how the fight will play out. Then, they talk about Israel Adesanya’s announcement of his UFC 305 fight with enemy Dricus du Plessis, and whether the bad blood between the two will bring out the Adesanya of old. Plus, where does Sean Strickland fit into all of this, and what are the stakes for this weekend’s UFC main event between Robert Whittaker and Ikram Aliskerov? Then, to round out another stellar episode, the guys talk about possible new dates for Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler, and what Chandler should do if this saga continues to play out.
