Will Yair ever fight for title?
How serious is he about potentially becoming the best 145er?

what should be done with BJ Penn at this point?
 
I would like to ask Captain Credentials these 3 questions regarding last weeks show.

* Are the rumors true that the stream died because Ant kicked his PC so hard that he broke the internet?

* How long did your laughter continue after Ant's connection finally croaked on us?

* Will this happen every time Jei is on vacation?

Can you make a differentiation between O malley and Jones cases?
I know Omalley got caught on ostarine and Jones on turinabol.
But i heard that Sean got caught also pulsing and got denied a license?
What was the difference?
The results?
The substance ?
The quantity?

Can someone explain this to me. I don’t get it.
Who’s ant? Where do we watch? Please explain.
 
According to recent statistics, over 1/3 of all the USADA violations are due to contaminated supplements. This is an outrageously high figure and indicates a thoroughly malfunctioning industry. Is there/should the UFC do anything about it? I assume they can since the Independent Contractor label means shit anyways.

Also how much of this do you think is *wink* *wink*, *nudge* *nudge, Jones-esque shenanigans.
 
No tool questions this time. Do you think bas rutten is in all time goat top ten? I think his career is very underrated and for his time he was one of the well rounded fighters in his day. Your thoughts?
 
The poll is up for this week's episode, which asks if Colby Covington vs. Robbie Lawler was the right fight to make.
 
No it wasn’t. Colby deserves his shot.
Expecting this poll answer to win but it's a question worth asking. A lot of us were surprised when it was announced. I know I was.
 
Am I the only one that really just don't give a crap about Colby? He doesn't really annoy me, I don't cheer for or against him. I wouldn't miss him 1 bit if he was gone.

I appreciate him being alive and fighting for life. His fights provide me some of the high level cage and mat wrestling like clinch reversals, single to double development, bar chasing on the mat, mat rides, etc., which is basically why I tune in for every fight...

We briefly considered an option for indifference, but what's the point?
