I’ll start with the question I keep getting: who should Alex Pereira be targeting next — Jon Jones, Tom Aspinall, or Carlos Ulberg? And what do we make of Khamzat Chimaev calling out Pereira again? Then, Reinier de Ridder faces Brendan Allen this Saturday at UFC Fight Night 262, is RDR in line for a title shot with a win? Plus, Kamaru Usman revealed his dream scenario to end his career, I’ll tell you if I think it’s realistic.

Then later, as Merab Dvalishvili gets ready for his fourth title defense of 2025, should he be worried about burnout? Also, Dana White says his feelings about Dvalishvili have changed. And finally, what should the UFC do when a fighter misses weight? Daniel Cormier has a suggestion.
