Petesy Carroll, Chuck Mindenhall, and Ben Fowlkes are back on The Craic.

Following Scott Coker’s announced return to MMA, the crew discuss the future of emerging promotions and what it could mean for industry-leading UFC (05:18).

One of those promotions is MVP. Attention turns to what the company’s record-breaking numbers actually mean given its Netflix collaboration (43:43).

Colby Covington has hung up the MMA gloves. They reflect on the timing of the retirement, just one month out from the UFC White House card (49:50).

Another recent annoucement is the return of Conor McGregor. Did the UFC fumble the reveal of his comeback? (58:15).

One fight flying under the radar is Oleksandr Usyk vs. Rico Verhoeven in Giza. The lads preview the crossover matchup (01:02:10).

After a quick preview of PFL Brussels (01:10:30), the boys close the show by answering your Super Chats (01:21:35).
