Brian Campbell, Luke Thomas and the entire MK crew is back on a Monday to go over the latest headlines in the world of combat sports. President Donald Trump told a crowd of supporters in Iowa on Friday he was intending to host UFC fights on the lawn of the White House for July 4th celebrations next year.

Fresh off of his loss to Jake Paul, Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. was detained by ICE and is set for deportation to Mexico, where he is reportedly wanted for activity related to the Sinaloa Cartel.
