At 33, did Walker show you any legitimate signs that the best run of his career could be right around the corner? The UFC Shanghai co-main featured Aljamain Sterling shutting out Brian Ortega. With a 2-1 record since moving up to 145 pounds, does Sterling have any leverage at all to ask for a title shot following this performance? In the UFC Shanghai undercard, Sergei Pavlovich outpointed Waldo Cortes-Acosta to keep pace near the top of the heavyweight rankings. Given the extreme lack of depth in the division, is there still one more run to a UFC title shot in the card for Pavlovich moving forward?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two years after Tom Aspinall said he would retire Jon Jones without even fighting him, that's exactly what happened as UFC president Dana White relayed the news of Jones' exit at the UFC Baku postfight press conference. Less than one hour later, reports surfaced of a criminal summons filed in Albuquerque Metro Court accusing Jones of a misdemeanor charge of fleeing the scene of an accident in February. What does it say about Jones' true legacy that the end of such an unrivaled 17-year pro career would come in the most Jon Jones way possible? Minutes after announcing fans could expect double the amount of Dana White Contender Series cards in their next broadcasting deal, White quickly shot down any thought of Tom Aspinall vs. Francis Ngannou by disparaging Ngannou's integrity.
