If I Did It: Manny Pacquiao vs Conor McGregor or Dana White vs Bob Arum?

Welcome to If I Did It, the show where we grapple with PR kerfluffles from the world of combat sports. This week we'll dive into GSP's belt surrender and the war of words between Dana White and boxing promoter Bob Arum.

Alexei Auld is back with a brand new book available 7 Secret Sources of Inspiration: A Snappy Guide for Creative Procrastinators to grill Eugene S. Robinson (who’s pushing OXBOW's new record THIN BLACK DUKE) and special guest John Nash filling in for Kid Nate with some PR stumpers from the world of combat sports.

Subscribe to co-host Alexei Auld's new YouTube channel to see “If The Shoe Fits” the new non-MMA version of the show. Listen to the latest episode of If The Shoe Fits here.

You’re the UFC. Despite Dana White’s threats, George St. Pierre relinquished his middleweight title without even defending it. How do you preserve the sanctity of the title and handle GSP’s eventual return?

You’re Dana White. When asked about your foray into boxing as a promoter, promoter Bob Arum replied, live and in public, if you will, “It’s an acknowledgment how strong boxing is. He has the UFC that’s cratering, and he needs boxing to save himself.” Do you?

You’re Manny Pacquiao. Dana White said that the UFC will sue you if you negotiated with Conor McGregor’s team instead of the UFC for a boxing match. Is it time to lawyer up?

You’re the UFC. Bloody Elbow’s Iain Kidd exposed a loophole in your anti-doping policy that allows them to secretly exempt athletes from testing if you so choose. You refused to comment when he asked. What will you say when you can no longer hold your peace?
