Volk Goes to 155, McGregor Returns, Strickland Fights in February

Volkanovski floated four ideas for his career and Chael says three are bad -- the great one is Volk vacating the featherweight belt, moving to lightweight, and calling out Arman Tsarukyan for the title, contingent on Gaethje retiring. Chael texted Arman on WhatsApp to stir things up. Justin Gaethje retirement is now past 50/50 -- Volk has intel Gaethje may not fight again. Sean Strickland came to his senses and will fight Nassourdine Imavov for the middleweight title in February. Renato Moicano had a great press conference -- told his opponent to shut up because he’s only there for money -- but Chael warns him not to say publicly he wants to fight out his UFC contract. Jake Paul announced a Christmas Eve Abu Dhabi fight with no opponent named yet -- Nate Diaz and Mike Perry likely on the card. Floyd Mayweather vs. Ryan Garcia is a real fight with Floyd’s record on the line -- what people want is Ryan to actually win. Conor McGregor’s coach Kavanagh says Conor’s not done, Chael is behind him for the first time, and expects Max Holloway next with Michael Chandler still in play. Ask Uncle Chael covers Oregon’s UFC tax problem, Spencer Lee and Iowa wrestling, Chael’s favorite saint, and the super fight he actually wants to see.
