Mailbag! Is Khabib-Tony Most Jinxed Fight Ever, Should USADA Keep Testing, Fighter Companion Picks for the Apocalypse, and much more - a podcast by The Athletic

First, Shaun and Chuck discuss the inevitable cancellation of the UFC’s next three events, despite the promotion’s best efforts to relocate this weekend’s UFC London card to Firelake Arena in Oklahoma on just a few days notice, and Dana White’s guarantee that the UFC 249 main event between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson will still happen on April 18, likely outside the United States.
Then, the guys open up the mailbag and answer some great listener questions: has there ever been a more jinxed fight than Khabib vs. Tony? How dumb is it for USADA to keep testing during the coronavirus outbreak? Will the quarantining and social distancing lead to stacked events for the rest of the year once competition begins again? In a post-apocalyptic world, which MMA fighter and MMA media member are you picking to be on your team? In a coronavirus zombie apocalypse, who are the three fighters you’re picking to travel with from New York to Los Angeles? If Michael Chandler does in fact test free agency after his next fight, where would you like to see him fight? Biggest non-MMA sports heartbreak? Will Rory MacDonald retire if he doesn’t win his division in PFL this year?Save 40% on an annual subscription to The Athletic when you visit http://theathletic.com/MATMLearn more about your ad choices.
