@stylebender
reveals a funny story about Francis Ngannou having words with Paulo Costa during his last fight: "Francis told him to shut the fuck up, that his last fight wasn’t that great anyways" 🔥🔥🔥

@danthehangman
Eugene confirms
@stylebender
wants the Jon Jones fight no matter what:
"It doesn’t matter where Jon Jones goes. If he goes to heavyweight, goes to light heavyweight, goes up and loses two fights, three fights, wins the next three fights, Israel has his heart set on that fight."
.
@stylebender
loves the idea of fighting Paulo Costa on fight island: "It takes it back to the rawness, the realness of it. It’s me and this fuckboy fighting in front of a couple of billionaires and the whole world can watch online, on streaming. It’s like some dark web shit" 🏝
.
@ColbyCovMMA
explains if he doesn't get Kamaru Usman or Jorge Masvidal next he wants Dustin Poirier: "I’ll paint your blood on the canvas just like a modern-day Picasso.”

@markhunt1974
says Francis Ngannou should “sit out” UFC contract:
“$500 - $600,000 is a fricking joke. I just explained to you, I got paid $950k six years ago, and I never had the belt. So, that right there goes to show you how much these guys are getting exploited.”
.
@akajav
doesn't know who the second person fighting for the vacant 155 belt will be but explains why it has to have
@DustinPoirier
to be a legit title fight:
"If anybody fights for the title, if it doesn’t include Dustin, I think it’s a tragedy"
📺:
“I took it because I would regret not taking… I would regret turning it down. Going back, sitting in a hotel and living with regret is just not a part of my story”
Inspirational stuff here from
@danthehangman
about why he ultimately took the short notice fight with Makhachev
There’s only one Nate Diaz! 🙌
Picks one the toughest fights at welterweight and puts on a show! No losing here for him, fans will be all over his next fight but 155 is the weight class for him.
As for Leon, he picks up a win over a legend, big things next for him.

@robwhittakermma
laughs off people saying all he has to do to beat Adesanya is “get him on his back”:
“If it's that simple, why has nobody in the history of Adesanya’s career just taking him down and held him down for five rounds? Why? Because he’s fucking hard to take down.”
Happy Birthday to
@stylebender
! 🍻
This was taken shortly after his debut at
#UFC221
in Perth, what an incredible journey he's had in such a short time! (Also still one of our fave shirts 😂)
.
@ColbyCovMMA
says he’s not a big welterweight, is happy to meet Dustin Poirier “in the middle” after
#UFC268
:
“I can tell you one thing, we weigh the same. And this fight needs to happen. He talked all that shit to the media, so come back it up, bitch.”

A big thanks to all our listeners, guests and everyone who’s supported Submission Radio over the years, we couldn’t have done it without you! 🙏
Chael Sonnen predicts it's not long until
@KChimaev
gets a title shot, possibly against Adesanya:
“Chimaev will be fighting for a championship in one of the two weight classes by this time next year"

@robwhittakermma
shares his theory on how Israel Adesanya losing his “invincibility bubble” could effect future fights:
“Anderson Silva when he was running through people, he had that aura of invincibility and then once he got beat, people realized he can be beat”
.
@alexvolkanovski
explains he won’t keep Beneil Dariush waiting if he wins the title at
#UFC284
! 🏆
“I'll go take that belt, I'll tell him and go, hey, in a couple of months, let's do it. Where are we doing it? You know what I mean?”

@danhardymma
reveals he signed a contract to box Tyron Woodley in the UK in March and now waits for “The Frozen One” to sign:
“Terms have been agreed, money’s been agreed, dates been agreed, rules and conditions, weight class, everything’s been agreed but he hasn’t yet signed”
Glad the doctor stopped that fight. Ortega took a tonne of damage in the kind of fight that takes years off your life. He was never going to give in. At least he lives to fight another day.
What he won, was everybody's respect and awe.

@dricusduplessis
responds to people saying fighting Robert Whittaker wasn’t a smart move:
“I chose to be a warrior. I chose to be an entertainer. And at the end of the day, I'm a fighter, and that's what I do. I fight.”

@akajav
shuts down Khabib/Oliveira lightweight GOAT discussion:
“I don't put Charles there at all. How many losses did he have? How many rounds has he lost? How many times has he been dropped? Tell me any one of those things that's happened to Khabib? No one’s touched him.”
.
@WonderboyMMA
sends a message to Kamaru Usman:
“I’m gonna be ready for it. And if we fought each other, I’m gonna be the one with my hands raised.”
📺:
“The money’s good, the promotion’s good, it’s going to be a lot of fun. I’m gonna light him up, I’m gonna switch him off, and I’m gonna prove my point that he doesn’t like fighting.”
@danhardymma
previews his March boxing match with Tyron Woodley in the UK 🔥
“They had their own unique place in the sport. Now they’re just like everybody else. Khabib talks just as much shit as everybody else. He used to respect all fighters. He used to respect all fighters a lot. Same as Makhachev.”
Eugene on the changes he noticed with Khabib’s team
Dana White says
@robwhittakermma
is "absolutely next" for Adesanya/Vettori winner: "He’s not going anywhere [...] take your time, get your shit together"; Shuts down possibility of Darren Till jumping ahead: "Nobody’s jumping over Whittaker.”

Some kind of incident just happened backstage at the weigh-in face-offs after Mark Hunt and Justin Willis had a heated face off.
Security sprung to action and Tai Tuivasa could be heard yelling: "Who the fuck do you think you are?!", "I'll fucken smash yous both!".

“In Sambo you can only kneebar, and I believe you can do it like at a straight ankle achilles lock, no heel hooks. Terrified of it. So, I could definitely see Volk submitting him very quickly with a heel hook.” - Craig Jones
