There Will Never Be Another Conor McGregor, Justin Gaethje’s Last Fight? & Alex Pereira’s Ranking

Should Alex Pereira already be ranked at heavyweight?

Chael explains why Ciryl Gane, Alexander Volkov, Sergei Pavlovich, and Josh Hokit all belong in the conversation, where Pereira fits into the rankings, and why moving a former champion into a new division isn't as simple as it sounds.

Then, Chael makes the case for Arman Tsarukyan vs. Charles Oliveira II with the BMF Championship on the line, breaks down what it means for Justin Gaethje, and asks whether Gaethje is preparing for the final fight of his career.

Plus, Dana White says there will never be another Conor McGregor. Chael explains why he agrees, why timing mattered just as much as talent, what made Ronda Rousey and Kimbo Slice cultural phenomena, and what the UFC's next superstar will actually look like.

And another edition of Ask Uncle Chael, featuring questions on Colby Covington, Ben Askren, Paddy Pimblett, youth wrestling, and more.
