The Boys in the Back kick off the show by reacting to Scott Coker re-entering the MMA world (06:19), Khabib Nurmagomedov pushing back against Dana White's claims about his retirement (10:12), the arrest of wrestler Ludwig Kaiser (20:20), and trash talk between Ilia Topuria and Ryan Garcia regarding a hypothetical boxing match (24:22). Then, they discuss Conor McGregor's return and speculate on his next few fights (28:56) and preview a weekend that includes Oleksandr Usyk vs. Rico Verhoeven, PFL Brussels, and Brandrisk 014 (51:33). Ariel Helwani joins the show to give further details about Coker's plans for his new promotion (1:18:52). The Boys debut video from their California training sessions with UFC fighters (01:35:59), then deliver a particularly convoluted P4P list (02:04:04). The show closes as always with voicemails (02:33:30) and Super Chats (02:45:36).
