MMA Junkie Radio #3020: Does McGregor vs. Gaethje make sense at 170?, Cub Swanson (guest)

Thursday’s edition of MMA Junkie Radio with hosts “Gorgeous” George and “Goze” is here!

On Episode No. 3,020 of the podcast, the fellas react to the latest MMA news and notes. Surprise, surprise! Conor McGregor comes up!

THE RUNDOWN

  • Coach John Kavanagh says, if it was up to him, McGregor would fight Justin Gaethje next. But here’s the catch: The SBG Ireland head coach would like it to happen at welterweight, even though McGregor and Gaethje are regular lightweights. Does this make any sense?
  • Tyron Woodley initially said he had no interest in fighting Leon Edwards, but as it turns out, the two of them will headline UFC London in March. Woodley’s manager, Abe Kawa, shed some light on what changed in an interview with MMA Junkie. What do we think of Woodley’s mindset here?
  • You’ll recall that Mike Perry made headlines a couple of weeks back when he used the N-word during a Twitter spat with African-American actor Michael Jai White. In that same interview with MMA Junkie, Kawa, who manages Perry, offered some insight into Perry’s mind when it comes to using the slur. How do we feel about this?
  • Former UFC welterweight title challenger Thiago Alves signed with Bare Knuckle FC. Good move for him?
  • UFC veteran Cub Swanson joins the show for an interview to talk about his ongoing recovery from a torn ACL, how the UFC is taking care of him after the injury suffered during Quintet Ultra, when he’d like to return to the octagon, what he has left for his career, and more.
