Is the UFC setting up Aaron Pico to flop by matching him up with an undefeated No. 6 contender on three weeks' notice, or is this his chance to jump the line in his new promotion?

Luke Thomas is back from vacation and ready to chop it up with his best friend Brian Campbell on a Morning Kombat Monday! Reinier de Ridder scored a split decision victory over Robert Whittaker in the UFC Abu Dhabi main event. With that win, does he rate as next for the winner of UFC 319's main event between champion Dricus du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev? Petr Yan looked incredible against Marcus McGhee at UFC Abu Dhabi. With three wins in a row, he has to be the consensus next man up after Merab Dvalishvili vs. Corey Sandhagen. That said, is there any reason to think a fight with either Dvalishvili or Sandhagen would look any different in a rematch? UFC 319 finally has a co-main event as featherweights Aaron Pico and Lerone Murphy square off, likely for title shot implications. This will also serve as Pico's UFC debut. Do you like this fight at all or as a Pico debut? LT, BC and the MK crew discuss these topics and much more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So, Dana White lied right to our faces and it turned out the reason no fans or media could attend Saturday's UFC Fight Night event WAS because Mark Zuckerberg wanted to be there, after all. And even if Dana White tries to claim later that he didn't lie due to some semantic bullshit, we all know the truth now. Zuck just had to be there to watch Mackenzie Dern ... who unfortunately lost a majority decision to Yan Xiaonan and then felt the need to apologize if she "made anybody sad" with her performance. So, fuck, was that some super disheartening late-stage capitalism stuff? Yes, it was. Also, though, Bellator turned in a pretty fun event that included Brandon Gibson desperately trying to get Aaron Pico's arm to snap back into its socket between rounds, so at least there was some good stuff to be had.

On the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer, Bellator 286 fighters Aaron Pico and Max Rohskopf join the show. Once touted as possibly the best prospect to enter the sport of mixed martial arts, Pico faced more than a few hurdles living up to his full potential after starting his career with a 4-3 record. Nobody gave up hope on Pico but he still had to rebuild himself and now he stands on the precipice of title contention with his upcoming fight scheduled against Jeremy Kennedy. For all the wins Pico has amassed recently, is he finally ready to ascend to the top of the featherweight division and become champion? Pico addresses those expectations and he also offers some advice to another super prospect in Bo Nickal, who has been receiving similar praise early in his fight career. Also on the show this week, Max Rohskopf joins the show for the first time to preview his upcoming return to action after inking a deal to join the Bellator roster. Rohskopf is best remembered for his short stint with the UFC that ended after he wouldn't leave his corner at the end of the second round, and he was branded a quitter before being released from the promotion. At that point, Rohskopf was done with fighting and had no intentions of ever making a return to the cage, but what changed and how did it eventually lead him to Bellator? Hear that from Rohskopf along with his own struggles with mental health and how he wants to help fight back against the stigma for other fighters seeking similar help.
