MMA Junkie Radio #2993: Conor McGregor, Jon Jones, UFC on ESPN 6

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

On Episode 2,993 of the podcast, the guys look ahead to Friday’s UFC on ESPN 6 card, discuss the latest with Conor McGregor and Jon Jones’ plea deal.

The rundown

  • Conor McGregor says he’s willing to fight Frankie Edgar for free – but is he?
  • Is McGregor’s fight talk just a smokescreen to keep people from talking about continued allegations in his personal life?
  • Jon Jones took a plea deal in a court proceeding after an allegation stemming from an incident at a strip club.
  • Speaking of Jones, he’s looking for his next opponent. Should the recently unretired Anthony Johnson be that guy?
  • UFC on ESPN 6 goes down Friday. Maycee Barber is on the card, but is calling out women’s strawweight champion Weili Zhang and flyweight champ Valentina Shevchenko.
  • And Jeremy Stephens gets his rematch with Yair Rodriguez after their 15-second no contest a month ago. Did he cross the line with comments he made this week?
