Co-hosts Shaun Al-Shatti and Alexander K. Lee ring in the new year by rummaging through the chaos left by an unforgettable run in December, anointing a new women's pound-for-pound No. 1 atop MMA Fighting’s Global Rankings and more. Then, the duo are joined by old friends Mike Heck and Jed Meshew around (24:30) to discuss Conor McGregor finally falling out of the rankings, play a round of "Ever Again?" to examine the futures of some down-on-their luck veterans, predict three names each (55:00) who will either rise into the top-5 or plummet out of title contention by the end of 2022, plus much more.
