Monday’s edition of MMA Junkie Radio with hosts “Gorgeous” George and “Goze” is here!

On Episode 2,996 of the podcast, the guys look back at Bellator’s dual event weekend, the UFC’s Singapore show, Nate Diaz’s next main event, Randy Couture’s heart attack and more.

The rundown

• Nate Diaz made news when he said he wasn’t going to be cleared by USADA to headline UFC 244, but the UFC and USADA said that wasn’t true. Is Diaz really a needle mover?
• Bellator had back-to-back shows in Connecticut on Friday-Saturday. We look back at Bellator 231 and Frank Mir’s win over Roy Nelson, as well as Bellator 232 and Douglas Lima’s title win over Rory MacDonald.
• Demian Maia submitted Ben Askren in the UFC on ESPN+ 20 main event in Singapore, giving Askren two stoppage losses and one very questionable win in his three UFC fights. What do you do with him now?
• Lima and MacDonald fought not only for MacDonald’s welterweight title and a tournament belt, but $1 million. Does fighting for that level of money make fighters passive?
• After his win over Askren, Maia called out fellow old-schooler Diego Sanchez for a fight. Do those guys deserve to call their own shots?
• Why didn’t the UFC want Leon Edwards to step in against Masvidal just in case Diaz wasn’t able to fight?
• MacDonald’s loss to Lima was the last on his Bellator contract, making him a free agent. Where will he wind up?
• UFC Hall of Famer and MMA legend Randy Couture suffered a heart attack this past week.
