Nassourdine Imavov deserves credit for his win over Caio Borralho on Saturday, but does he have what it takes to challenge Khamzat Chimaev? And while many are down on Borralho and The Fighting Nerds after the loss, I’m not. Then, the problem with Tom Aspinall vs. Ciryl Gane, and why Arman Tsarukyan vs. Dan Hooker feels like the right fight.

Plus, Ilia Topuria says he’d knock out Terence Crawford in a crossover boxing match, and what I think of Jon Jones pulling out a cowboy hat as he angles for The White House fight. I also give some advice to Conor McGregor, who says he'll run for president of Ireland. And to close, my long-awaited review of the new Netflix documentary Unknown Number: The High School Catfish.

On today’s episode, I return to mid-December when Gilbert Burns gave me an early Christmas present by posting my phone number online because I claimed he was retired. So, I take your calls and texts (while learning how to group-FaceTime) and try to figure out whether Burns is retired, and what his next matchup should be if he isn’t.
