Oi legends, welcome back to the pod where we break down the chaos from the cage to the current headlines, through the eyes of 3 blokes who are over confident and under qualified.This week we’re diving into the massive UFC shake-up. Yep, Dana’s signed off on a $7.7 billion deal with CBS and Paramount. Pay-per-views? Pretty much gone. Great news for the fans, (Except the Aussies) not so flash for the fighters. We’ll unpack what it all means and whether Dana’s still got a wildcard PPV or two up his sleeve if a big name drops in his lap.Also on the cards:• Dricus du Plessis’ top moments and how he reckons he figured out Khamzat• Mike Chandler still barking up the wrong tree with McGregor, even with that new training footage• Rampage Jackson being Rampage — nothing’s changed and honestly, we’re here for it• Khamzat’s angles and his custom shorts — bloke’s deep in his villain eraPlus we get into some spicy current events — no more Down syndrome cases?

Alright legends, in this week’s episode I run through all the wild moments from UFC Fight Night Whittaker vs de Ridder. Bit of a weird one to be honest, but plenty to talk about.We had Buday pulling off a huge upset in the heavyweight division, and Steve breaking the record for most knockdowns in a single round six in the first while poor Yahya somehow stayed in there way too long. Ricci lands a beauty of a KO, Davey Grant turns things around after a rough first round, and Muslim Salikhov with a clean walk off knockout, always love those.Shara walks through fire to get the win (fight of the night for mine), Petr Yan starts slow but finishes strong, and Bryce Mitchell edges out Nurmagomedov in a tight one. Also, Krylov gets knocked out again, ASU Almabaev looked solid, and Ochoa’s someone I’m keen to see more from. Oh, and Reiner de Ridder, that goofy bastard, somehow sneaks a split decision over Bobby Knuckles. Don’t ask me how.Also covering:A quick look at UFC Taira vs ParkFight announcements like Pico vs Lerone Murphy as the 319 co-main and Ulberg vs Reyes headlining UFC Perth, bangerBit of news around the traps:The Flack Forge Inn burned down (with Conor chiming in of course)Pavlovich dodges JJ’s handshakeShavkat’s family involved in a car crash, awful stuffT-Ferg’s maths still not mathingCosta getting chirpy onlineAnd chat around a social media ban for under 16s , thoughts?Cheers for tuning in.

Righto, big episode this week, we’re unpacking all the chaos from UFC 318. Full recap of the card, including the post-fight presser, where things got a bit spicy. Vettori vs Allen copped Fight of the Night (fair call?), and we give props to the POTN winners: Carli Judice, Areba Gautier, and Islam Dulatov — all with cracker performances.Bit of drama too — Dana reckons he “can’t risk” putting Jon Jones in a big spot again. We get into that, plus a quick preview of this weekend’s UFC Fight Night with Rob Whittaker taking on Reinier de Ridder in a tasty main event.📍 Piestrong Punts (Non-PPV Picks):Ibo Aslan: all-action or early napRDR as the underdog?Asu Almabaev late replacement?📢 Fight Announcements Going Off:Dillon Danis fighting William Spence for the Misfits LHW strapDarren Till vs Luke RockholdTony Ferguson vs bloody Salt Papi (yep, you read that right)Aspinall vs Gane locked in for Oct 25UFC 320 looking stacked: Ankalaev vs Pereira, Dvalishvili vs Sandhagen, Jiri vs Rountree Jr.📰 MMA & Combat Sports Yarn:Pereira’s ex gets kicked from Karate Combat events — Alex full-on reenacts the scene 😂Tim Tszyu gets stopped — tough watchPacquiao gets done dirtyUsyk’s resume getting overlooked in GOAT chats?Jack Della calls himself the lineal BMF after Ilia posts the fake belt — and honestly, he might have a case: Jorge > Usman > Leon > Belal > JackGrab a cold one, settle in, and let’s talk fights.

His answer, “No.” Classic.Elsewhere• Merab vs Sandhagen locked in• UFC Perth officially on for September 28• Neal vs Prates incoming• Dana helped Askren with a surprise moment• Bunch of MMA news: Yoel to BKFC, Mike and Conor at it again, Jon Jones finding his fire, and Poatan looking like a Marvel villain• B Team falling apart, Craig Jones leaving• DP walking out with Lil Wayne• Weekly Piestrong punts (non PPV bets that could snag ya a lazy greenback)• No more boxing PPVsAlso… Brazilians still can’t win a main event this year.
