Heck of a Morning: Kamaru Usman shuts down knee injury rumors, UFC 294 press conference reaction
Kamaru Usman says rumors surrounding a knee injury ahead of his UFC 294 matchup with Khamzat Chimaev are false, and he sent a message to those who put out that idea this week.

Additionally, listener topics include the UFC 294 press conference, Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski’s back-and-forth, Makhachev’s stance that Volkanovski only took the short notice rematch for the lightweight title for a paycheck, potential locks for Saturday’s pay-per-view event, why this weekend is incredibly important for Magomed Ankalaev, and more.
