Conor McGregor’s return lasted 69 seconds. A flying kick, a blown right knee, a TKO loss to Max Holloway at UFC 329, and a five-year comeback that was over before it started. Covino and Rich called the ring rust a week ago, and now they break down what actually happened: the walkout that looked off in hindsight, the “head gasket is gone” statement, Drake’s million dollars gone in about a minute, and why a 37-year-old coming back from this is a bad idea no matter how badly everyone wants the story.
Then the guys open it up to the Fox Sports Radio Nation. Where does this rank among the great grand opening, grand closing letdowns in sports? Aaron Rodgers lasting four snaps with the Jets is still Covino’s number one. Rich isn’t sold. Garrison Hearst, Colt McCoy, Kevin Durant and Dave Dravecky all get thrown in, plus the Jake Paul trolling video and whether all the noise ends up fueling a comeback nobody thinks is coming.
In hour two, the UFC broadcast labels Shakur Stevenson as Jalen Williams of the Thunder, and that sends the show down a rabbit hole of celebrity mixups. Flavor Flav mistaking Miley Cyrus for Gwen Stefani. Gary Busey looking into Rich’s soul. Plus Last One Standing trivia, the Home Run Derby, and Erling Haaland flying home from the World Cup carrying a $750 stuffed raccoon.
