This is what’ll happen: 1. Belal beats Leon for the 170 lb. belt. 2. The UFC dissolves the 170 lb. division & creates a 175 lb. weight class. 3. Belal is stripped of the belt.
😂😂😂
And strips Belal in the process lmao that would be so perfect
Lol. I would love that belial is the most un exciting fighter ever
Dumbest thing I've seen in a week lol

Chael was on a roll 3 minutes in 😂
He always on a roll 😂
but he slipped into a role play - teacher -student (at the front of the class) very quick. these guys are so clever. wish I could think as fast on my feet.
I only watch for Chael!!!

I don't get why there's a noticeable delay between Chael and DC. It's like they're on 3g wifi connection.
Seriously though! It's almost unbearable
2g
It’s for the cussing bleep
They are on zoom it happens bruh bingo
Just be grateful for the fact we have internet and don't have to tune an FM radio or read the local "daily press" for sports information.
Conor beats Chandler and he jumps the line with an instant title shot.
At what weight class?
Deserved tbf
Conor takes the 165lb belt and fights Leon and beats him to become a double champ again
Set the BMF at 165lbs. Thereby creating the 165lb. title without affecting the other divisions.
That be great if Connor wins the 165 & double champs again 😊😊😊

This was one of the funniest episodes so far. I like how it feels more like a conversation than a planned speech.
This episode deserved to be 10/10 btw.
This is the 4th time in three weeks that Uncle Chael has stated UFC 1 was in Mobile Alabama when it was in Denver, CO
😂😂
It was in Mobile AL then.
@@bobdolesghost2406Mobile AL? What is that??
In actuality a 165 pound weight class would benefit so many fighters from not doing these drastic weight cuts.
Not really. Fighters in every weight class are rehydrating 20lbs for an advantage
@@zealpulses3826 while some cut 30 lbs like dober and turner
you think a 165 pound weight class will stop fighter's from abusing the rules to gain any advantage whatsoever? These people do it to WIN. Adding a 165 weight class is not going to stop people weight cutting, just like it aint stopping people from doing PEDS. You need hydration tests if you want to get rid of weight cutting.
Not really, it would mostly be current 170lbers that can cut that extra 5 lbs
@@SafariFerrari one fc had a perfect way of doing it but the ufc would never do it 👎 I do see your point that your making though but it would benefit fighters imo
Chael was on 🔥🔥this episode. Seriously the best MMA show out right now and respect to Ryan Clark for respecting it and being a fun guest. He's a good dude. Can't wait till Thursday now!!!!
Morning Kombat >>>>>>>
I think 165, 175, 190, and 205 is better, I think you could really get the best versions out of people with these weight classes, 185 to 205 is crazy

Bro I hope not and if so neither of these 2 guys deserve to be in the title fight. I love Conor and what he has done for the sport but if either of these guys gets to fight for a belt it is a complete joke.
@@Yeshuaspupil ok but dont cry
Not having the weight classes every 10 pounds drives my OCD crazy
Go watch something else then
Why is your OCD not based on ratios matching body size? The larger the weights, the larger the gaps makes more sense if you want consistency...
What is OCD, @dustinsmith9375?
Aljo and marab for the B.M.F "Boring motha fooka" belt 😂
I don’t think Aljo has any competition regarding this title. 🤔😴
merab is far more entertaining
You casual mf😂😂😂
@@bouch2442 I was going to disagree with you by saying they’re equally boring but Aljo really is in a class by himself.

The egos of Chael and DC are clashing 😂 DC can’t let chael speak
I think with the divisions the only thing that has to do is move 170 to 175 and add 165. The only gap larger than 10 pounds would be middleweight/LHW and LHW/HW.
I like it. Few genius on yt but you sir are brilliant!
It would make too much sense for the UFC 😂but I agree I’ve been saying this since mcgregor Diaz 1
I agree
I think ive already watched more episodes of this show than DCRC.. and i started liking that show towards the end
I would watch occasionally when I had no other MMA content but it's so hard for me to watch someone talk about a sport who clearly doesn't understand the sport very well.
I never watched that one but I love dc and Chael 😂 Chael always makes my day a little better with his little jokes and rants 😂 when the fireworks 🎆 started popping up behind rc and dc started fanning himself and rubbing his eyes I died laughing 😂
DC is on a roll with talking about things with 0 substance
He just be spewin’ nonsense lately…
Your b! tch a$$ is always tuning in and watching the whole dam thing though!
yeah his commentating has been annoying lately lol. just waffles off topic all the time or tries showing off his knowledge
Hey DC and Chael!!! 2 questions. Should the BMF title not have any criteria to be eligible to compete for? IT has nothing to do with weight or rankings. Ilia may be the champ but he is no BMF!!!
2nd question, any opinion on why the new champions are so inactive? Islam and Leon for example 1 title defense a year... I miss volk and izzy, very active. Pereira has been very active
Great guest segment with the ball busting and laughs 😂 and that video of Shannon sharpe is gold
I giggled a lot at the "who's your favourite co-host" section. Too good
I was laughing and grinning from ear to ear this whole show 😂. So good to see RC back. I love these three together! Uncle Chael, DC and RC
No Belt from people coming off losses and Conor won't stick around long.
Been saying for a LOOONG time now that 170 should be split into 165 and 175. Would just make sense to have 135, 145, 155, 165, 175, 185, and even a 195 pound division.
A inaugural Belt for 2 Inactive Fighters?
Conor normally gets what he wants. If he wants a title he could get it
*An inaugural belt for the biggest star in the history of the UFC against the most exciting fighter in the promotion. 👍 Depends on how you look at it.
@@LongIslandbaseball55 I’m sure that’s why he is Fighting at 170 instead of the 185 he Said.
@@Fightconnoisseur96 yeah the most Exciting fighter of “2016”
@@nogrrllikeme I was referring to Michael Chandler, bud.
They're floating this idea to judge public perception
i was wondering if they would split welterweight into 165 and 175, a lot of people said i had the wrong idea but now espn has dc and chael doing a segment on the possibility
Make it 162.5 right in the middle of lightweight and 170. A 165 pound class is just pointless but 162.5 actually makes sense for small welterweight and big lightweights
Such a good show with DC and Uncle Chael
love dc and chael. great duo.
How do you ask a question for the podcast?
Please let us see more Ryan Clark with these two such a great addition to the show absolutely entertaining I love it
MAKE THE THUMBNAIL A PHOTO OF YOU GUYS
First time I skip a segment since the show started . Never thought the day would come
It was good to see the homie RC back for a segment and love the banter between the three.
RC deserves to have a segment every episode
??????????? 😢
😂
A 15lb weight gap has always been too much of a jump. It was acceptable when mma was small but UFC has absorbed so many organizations, they HAVE the roster to make the belts every 10 lbs. There is no reason not to do this.
The weight classes in MMA have been discussed about before. It should be every 10 pounds. 125, 135, 145, 155, 165, 175, 185, 195, 205.
😊 Best Duo in MMA fellas!!
I do like the idea of a 165 division BUT Conor and chandler are not the guys to fight for the vacant belt for the exact reasons chael has mentioned….. but I can still see UFC doing it for the reasons DC MENTIONS
Audio is on 🔥 for this one sone
Didn't dana already say the bout agreement is at 170 pounds?
Chael totally dominates this show and outshines DC! LONG LIVE THE BAD GUY!!!!
Conor McGregor have a special place in Dana White Heart, why? Because like it or not he changes the game in UFC AND THAT IS A FACT.
There are a number of fighters now with the tag of "best fighter to never win a belt" status eg Poirier & Covington. Do you think it's now time to add divisions like 165lb,175lb & 195? So many fighters trapped in weight classes but still under/oversized over the above and below divisions. Could there be a case for new divisions if there is too much of 1 particular skillset that dominates top 10? The lightweight top 10 has 8 fighters that can strike but are mostly all grapplers by trade so chances are any new striker that breaks into top 10 is unlikely to progress due to the high level of grappling that exists currently.
It was so good to see RC again. While the combo of DC and Chael is great, RC was the fans voice on the show and as he learned about the sport we learned. If we can have that perspective more often, it would be appreciated.
Great idea. This would also create an environment where we can see a lot more cross-over between lightweight and welterweight. Let's get it done.
If UFC does start a new division - I would rather see a grand prix style tournament for the strap. I am not interested in seeing Chandler and Mac fighting for a new belt. I love the fight - just not the idea of starting a new division with it.
It was so good to see RC
Any UFC events coming up in London, England?!?
155: Lightweight 165: Welterweight 175: Middleweight 185: Cruiserweight
There's no room for more divisions. Championship fights are on PPVs not fight nights. UFC has no reason to pay fighters for more than 1-2 title fights per PPV (more often 1). Champs are already averaging less than 2 defenses a year due to the limited # of PPVs vs existing divisions.
@@rajkhan9643champ co mains go hard
@@rajkhan9643just a trash opinion from beginning to end, there’s definitely room for another division and additional PPV events throughout the year, some months have two PPVs so why couldn’t we have a couple more, more PPVs = more money, why couldn’t there be more championship co mains as mentioned earlier, there can be a restructuring of the belt and division layout if it’s planned properly, chandler vs mcgregor wont be the fight but eventually there will be an additional weight class between 155 and 170
@tylermorris5993 if your ideas would make the UFC more money they would have already incorporated it. Do you think you know more about how to run a billion-dollar business than the powers that are currently running it? 😅 So Dana and Hunter have "trash opinions" according to you? There are not enough fans of the sport to pay $80/PPV if they start having them even more frequently. And UFC won't increase their bottom line by paying additional PPV points for more divisional champs because the additional cost won't exceed the incremental revenue (which is already at max, not many people willing to pay $80/PPV for more events than we currently buy. This is coming from a fan who pays for every single one).
@@rajkhan9643 I think you’re unaware of how big the UFC has become, that’s cool that you buy every PPV but more people watch the sport than ever and it’s continuing to grow, at some point Dana and Hunter will either change the structure or when they’re gone somebody else will, the growth of the company will at some point be limited by the amount of content provided but they haven’t reached the saturation point yet, that point increases as a function of fan base and the trend is upward, there’s room for exactly one more belt and even if it comes in 5-15 years it’s still going to arrive, sliding in a couple more PPVs and popping up a few more PIs will expand the reach of the UFC and incremental revenue (which is not at a max) will likely fluctuate but will result in a net gain in the long run, this is coming from a fan who watches every PPV, a lot of fight nights, and knows how to run a million dollar company (can’t say I know how to run a billion dollar)
Man i don’t know what software you guys use but just use discord the delay when you guys respond to each other is unbearable
ESPN known for horrible production. Watch anything with Okomoto
This tandem is good but Chael Sonnen / Michael Bisping collab is good.
Aljamain will never get a shot at the BMF after getting on his knees in front of Petr Yan
DC and the Bad Guy! My wife and I love the show and been watching both of you since we been together (7 Years) on all your wonderful shows. We have been now 2 years clean and sober and my question is this... What advice do you have for someone dealing with addiction and what outlet would you use on the days that may be tougher than others? Ty and enjoy the show and laughs you have been giving us for years!
I think a 165 lb. Belt is exactly what the UFC needs seeing that the talent runs so deep in the lightweight division
DC is the type of guy that will say he would never lose if the universe wasn't created
It wouldnt make sense to have 195 and 205 without 185, the gaps should get larger as the weight goes up not have an awkward space
Great duo… finally a colleague that DC respects and can be checked by. DC needs that. Phenomenal duo
Two legendary fighters Uncle Chael and DC. Let's go 💪🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good to see RC back on the show!
I absolutely love entertaining ideas of how the ufc can expand more. I like making a 165 division and new opportunity for a belt.. a lot of fighter will jump into the new division. Especially since it’ll have a broad span of feather weights through welter weights. And drastically some bantams and middleweights could make 165… and then as a safety factor top ranked guys won’t be afraid to fight in the new divisions it won’t effect they’re original weight classes ranking. Not that they can’t use that to their advantage now and fight up or down. But I see a lot of potential in adding divisions. At least bring back female featherweight with Amanda now that a few females are calling for it 🤷♂️
Man when it comes to yapping no one comes close to chael😹😹😹😹😹. AND I LOVE IT BTW😂😂
I think CHAEL should make a bad guy inc video on Spencer Lee winning again
Ufc would be crazy not to run with this and add more wait classes ! Makes the ufc bigger and more interesting
155 165 175 190 205 or 210 This way the gap is not dramatic at 20lbs after 185 to 205. That’s about 10% difference. Having 15 lbs gap at a higher level is better as a percentage of total weight. If they want, they can maybe adjust to make the gap to 210 for light heavy weight?
If they make a 165 Title they should have a card where 2-4 fights happen and winners move on.
I think ufc should do 155 165 175 185
If they were gonna create a 165 division with McGregor vs Chandler for the belt, they should have done that at UFC 300 as the headliner. That would have been the wow factor perfect for the milestone event.
Question - In 10 years what 2 active fighters (at the championship level like yall) could you see hosting an MMA show together on espn similar to Good guy / Bad guy?
Love having RC on man fr it’s good to have that fan perspective
Idk how I feel about gold gloves... If you're fighting someone with fast hands under those bright lights, would it change your ability to see punches? never fought professionally, but you have to wonder. black is much easier to see in contrast with the white canvass and with that lighting. feel like that gold may blend too much in that setting.
DC yapping alot about nothing lately
Chael Sniffed a Line before the interview🤣
Great to see RC back! Happy to see Michael Chandler finally get the Conor McGregor fight, he’s been waiting ages for it.
Did you guys watch rockhold v schilling at karate combat and what did you think of that arena in dubai? The visuals on the ceiling and stuff.
All Karate arenas are like that it’s nothing special. Karate holds all types of badass events in that type of ring just not in Dubai
Bring back the boy Rc more often man
-New Super Lightweight division at 165 -Welterweight is held at 175 going forward -New Super Middleweight at 195
DC your volume is lower than everyone else's
topuria wants to fight for the bmf but hes gonna be diving for the legs by the 2nd round
I like the idea of doing 125,135,145,155,165,175,185 change 170 to 165 and add 175. You will be able to get quite a bit of movement and make some super interesting fights. 155,165,175 theoretically you will get fighters that can potentially compete in all 3 weight classes. You will have some that just cant and will only be able to make 1 of those classes some that can only do 2 of them. But it would be interesting man and free the UFC up to make a lot of interesting fights across those 3 classes. Someone like Ilia Topuria being able to easily fight Justin Gathje would be super interesting or have him against Arman. You would also have had like a younger Colby able to be fighting Dustin Poirier when they were both coming up.
1 more thing BEST SHOW EVER !!! Not going lie the good guy bad guy is the best start to the week and it’s good to get to Thursday as uno it’s the night b4 the weekend !! 😂
The fireworks 🎆 popping up behind rc had dc in disbelief 😂😂😂😂
31:14 was waiting for this thing 😅
RC needs to be on every episode
Fck no!
He was 😂
Making the BMF title lineal, and only one BMF title, you start to run into a problem. Max Holloway might be the BMF from 155 and below, but heavyweights, and Alex Periera might have something to say about that.
Chael sounds like a reporter doing live storm weather reports
Uncle Chael the ball buster gonna keep DC on his toes 🤣🤣🤣
man say what you want but the chemistry between DC and RC is there to see
I love the idea of a 165 and a 175 lb division to replace the 170 lb one. I understand that 170 has a lot of history and three grand champions (Hughes, St. Pierre, and Usman), but the history will still be there. Will it happen? I'm pretty sure it will, but it won't happen on a whim. There must be a demand for it. I'm guessing that one of the UFC media partners is going to want it and will offer the UFC buckets of money to open the division. Think ESPN or a wealthy Saudi prince or something. My one request is that the 165 division not be called super lightweight. In English, super light means very light, not heavier than light. I hope someone in the UFC office knows English well enough to point this out. 155 lightweight 165 welterweight 175 super welterweight
I wouldn’t mind making 165, 175, 195 instead of 170 that way it’s 10 pound different except HWY
Dana's Contender Series or UFC TUF for the 165 lbs Belt! Get actually Pro fighters from around different organization & aspects of MMA!
What do you think about kane coming back to face aspnol in England
DC: I visualize taking you down to improve my confidence
Literally after Dana White saying he’d absolutely never make a 165lb division. Conor said jump and Dana still never landed yet
Question for @espnmma and DC / Chael. Did you guys ever watch ECW back in the day. Kurt Angle almost went to it.
23.25 seconds in... Why does Chael always say "the first time the octagon was set up in 1993 in Mobile, Alabama?? He's been saying that over and over for years now, it's part of his speel... but why? The octagon was first set up in 1993 UFC #1 in Denver... Someone explain to me this?
Happy to see RC back!!
Ah yeah I think he comes back out of courtesy and love for the sport, but it was evident he couldn't consistently tolerate DC week by week
