  • Ben Askren is BACK to team up with Daniel Cormier for another edition of Funky and the Champ! Jon Jones stole headlines after he pitched the idea of a heavyweight title fight between him and Alex Pereira. DC and Askren debate whether Jones should fight Pereira or Tom Aspinall, and Cormier doubles down Jon making the right move wanting to fight Poatan. Plus, Sean O'Malley and Conor McGregor are beefing publicly, which DC thinks is opening the door for a fight between the two. And don't miss why DC wants to sue Ben Askren!

    Champs, Alex weighed 232 the day after making 205 and was shredded. Jones took three years to move to heavyweight and weighed 246 and was carrying plenty of extra luggage. Pereira can carry 240 and be ripped. Size is really not the issue.

    The only people that didn't try to take Alex down were literally Sean Strickland and Jamahal, and only because they didn't have enough time. Literally everyone else tried and actually did take him down (for a while, but didn't do much damage and most got tired).

      ⁠@@fgc1850most casual take I’ve ever seen. Pereira has never fought in the division. If you’re a champion in a division you have a duty to defend against the contenders otherwise all you’re doing is delegitimising the title and the rest of the division. It’s exactly doing shit like this that prevents other people becoming stars. Alex has beaten other champs and got this big because other champs agreed to fight him.. it’s not rocket science.
