The Fighter vs. The Writer returns post-UFC 300 with Alan Jouban and MMA Fighting senior reporter Damon Martin reacting to the biggest moments from the historic card.
While it wasn’t the main event, Max Holloway still stole the show after he demolished Justin Gaethje with a last-second knockout in the “BMF” title fight. The spectacular finish has been replayed millions of times already but is that the greatest moment in UFC history?
Also who should be next for Holloway following this momentous win?
We’ll also discuss Alex Pereira beating his fifth UFC champion in only eight fights as he continues his ridiculous run since transitioning from kickboxing to MMA. What’s next for Pereira and should he actually consider heavyweight?
Plus we’ll talk about Kayla Harrison’s unbelievable debut where she took out former champion Holly Holm inside two rounds. With the win has Harrison already jumped to the front of the line for a title shot against Raquel Pennington?
We’ll talk about that and so much more in the aftermath of UFC 300 on the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer!

UFC 300 is finally here!
Arguably the greatest fight card ever assembled on paper, UFC 300 is headlined by a light heavyweight title fight between Alex Pereira and Jamahal Hill, and also features a strawweight title bout between Weili Zhang and Yan Xiaonan, AND a "BMF" title bout between Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway. On top of that, there are SEVEN other former UFC champions on the card, and a two-time Olympic gold medalist. This is the weekend everyone has been waiting for all year and so the No Bets Barred boys are ready for a deep dive into every one of the amazing fights this Saturday in Las Vegas.
Conner Burks and Jed Meshew open the show with a brief recap of UFC Vegas 90 before diving into this one in a lifetime card. Is Jamahal Hill rushing back too soon for this fight or is Alex Pereira in for a world of trouble? Can Weili Zhang keep rolling against her countrywoman or will Yan Xiaonan level up? Who will survive the war between Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway. All this and a lot more are discussed on this week's episode.
Tune in for episode 85 of No Bets Barred.

DAMN! They Were Good celebrates the careers of our favorite fighters in MMA history, but on the eve of UFC 300, the MMA Fighting team is taking a break from remembering specific fighters to instead look back at the two previous centennial events
Taking place on July 11, 2009, and July 9, 2016, UFC 100 and UFC 200 marked two major eras in UFC history. UFC 100, headlined by Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir 2, was the peak of the UFC attempting to establish itself as a mainstream sport. UFC 200, headlined by Miesha Tate vs. Amanda Nunes, marked the final event of the Zuffa era, Endeavor acquired the UFC just days afterwards.
What were our favorite moments and the best highlights from these two events? Listen in as the MMA Fighting team remember two of the most pivotal events in UFC history.
