Charles Oliveira coming back too soon? Khamzat-DDP heating up, Artem Lobov is back, more | The Craic

The Craic is back! Petesy Carroll is joined by Craic regulars Chuck Mindenhall and Ben Fowlkes to break down the week’s biggest headlines.

First up, Charles Oliveira’s return against Rafael Fiziev. The crew debates whether it’s too quick a turnaround for Oliveira after his KO loss to Ilia Topuria just three months ago (6:12).

One fight fast approaching is Driccus du Plessis vs. Khamzat Chimaev. With UFC 319 just a week away, the boys gauge excitement levels and share insights from DDP’s recent interview with Ariel earlier in the week (19:04).

Next, the trio reacts to news of Artem “The Russian Hammer” Lobov’s return, and assess his chances heading into his bout against Zubaira Tukhugov on PFL Dubai (40:05).

Petesy and the guys then shift to the recent news surrounding the TKO Ali Act amendments. They weigh in on the TKO’s statement addressing the controversial changes (54:19).

To close the show, they look ahead to this weekend’s combat sports events, and answer your Super Chats (1:09:31).
