Rankings Show: So About This Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler Situation... | Plus, Dana & Jon vs. Islam & The World

The MMA gods have a wicked sense of humor. Podcast pals Mike Heck and Jed Meshew join co-hosts Shaun Al-Shatti and Alexander K. Lee this week to unpack the inauspicious double-dose that struck Michael Chandler over the past few days, with the status of Conor McGregor and UFC 303 hurled into doubt just as Chandler was removed from MMA Fighting’s lightweight rankings for inactivity. The gang talks the latest whispers around UFC 303 (5:20), tries to figure out the best back-up options for the event, and debates whether even a best-case win for either man could get them back into the rankings. Then, the crew sifts through the wreckage of UFC 302 to determine where Islam Makhachev vs. Dustin Poirier sits in the Fight of the Year race (44:30), figure how it became Dana White and Jon Jones against the world (54:30), plus much more.
