Shillan and Duffy: UFC 294 Preview

Keith and Ben preview one of the last big UFC cards of the year—and maybe the best—with detailed predictions and picks for all 13 fights. Has there ever been a UFC event that was improved this much by last-minute bout changes? Is "Shara Bullet" the next Khamzat Chimaev? Is the current Chimaev about to earn himself a title shot?

Sidetrack conversations include Renaissance festivals, the geography of post-Soviet Eurasia, the most unintentionally humorous fighters in MMA history and, of course, Bo Nickal.
