On this episode of Weighing In, Josh Thomson and the crew dive into the expectations surrounding Umar Nurmagomedov as he continues his pursuit of UFC gold.

Is Umar trying to live up to the Nurmagomedov name—or is the pressure of the family legacy actually making his journey harder?

Fighters FINED for Celebrating?! Big John on the NSAC “RIDICULOUS” Rule
On this episode of McCarthy Monday, Big John McCarthy and Josh Thomson break down the Nevada State Athletic Commission's crackdown on UFC fighters climbing or leaving the cage after their victories. Following UFC 329, Max Holloway, Paddy Pimblett and Gable Steveson are facing disciplinary hearings after their post-fight celebrations. Their purses have been withheld pending the hearings. And Daniel Cormier isn't holding back, calling the rule “the most ridiculous rule in mixed martial arts” and arguing that fighters should be allowed to celebrate the biggest moments of their careers. But is the Nevada commission actually justified? Big John brings his experience as a former referee and longtime authority on MMA rules to explain why the rule exists, where the safety concerns come from, and whether the commission is taking things too far. Josh and Big John also discuss the difference between dangerous behavior inside the cage and harmless emotional celebrations after a fight, and whether there should be some common-sense discretion when it comes to enforcing these rules. The commission's concerns aren't completely without precedent—the infamous UFC 229 Khabib Nurmagomedov–Conor McGregor brawl showed how quickly fighters leaving the cage can create chaos. But does that justify punishing fighters who simply climb the cage after a win? Should fighters be fined for celebrating—or should the commission use some common sense? 👇 Let us know what YOU think in the comments! 💧 STAY HYDRATED WITH LMNT Get LMNT Here 🎙️ WATCH CROSSING LINES Crossing Lines Sports TV 📲 FOLLOW WEIGHING IN @weighingin @therealpunk Subscribe for McCarthy Monday, UFC reactions, fight breakdowns, fighter interviews and the biggest conversations in MMA. #McCarthyMonday #BigJohnMcCarthy #JoshThomson #UFC #MMA #UFC329 #PaddyPimblett #MaxHolloway #GableSteveson #DanielCormier #WeighingIn
