THE RUNDOWN

• The San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs play in Super Bowl LIV on Sunday in Miami. We talk a little bit about the big game.
• Speaking of Super Bowl, did you see the altercation between Usman and Masvidal on Radio Row in Miami? Does this make you want to see this fight more, or do you think Masvidal vs. Conor McGregor makes more sense still? We break it down.
• Bellator middleweight champion Rafael Lovato Jr. has revealed he has a brain condition that will require him to put his career on hold. He wouldn’t go so far as to say he’s retiring. What does this all mean?
• Now we’ve got Nate Diaz chiming in on Stephen A. Smith’s UFC 246 take and – plot twist! – Diaz insists that Joe Rogan and Conor McGregor should be the ones apologizing to Stephen A. Do we agree?
• Speaking of Diaz, Dustin Poirier still wants that fight – be it in MMA or boxing. Does that intrigue you?
• Joanna Jedrzejczyk took to social media with an insensitive post about the ongoing coronavirus outbreak that included a picture of UFC strawweight champion Zhang Weili, who didn’t appreciate this. Did Jedrzejczyk go too far?
• We close out the show with UFC heavyweight Ben Rothwell joining the show. He talks about his expectations for 2020 and much more.
