Going Rounds Podcast

This betting scandal is not good but the UFC is known for getting through tough setbacks and situations so we know this to shall pass. Next week will be all about UFC 322 no doubt! The news cycle is very short and a new headline will come around sooner than you realize. Until then we have to talk about all of the happenings. Of course we must have a full breakdown and preview of UFC Vegas 111 whic...

Gable Steveson showed out at #dbx4 and shouted out UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard who was in attendance. Do we see Gable in the UFC next? Do you think he needs more outside experience? Bryan Battle also improved to 2-0 in DBX with another KO win in the first round! Steve Garcia gets an impressive win in the main event of #ufcvegas110 to extend his win streak to 7! Lots of submissions in this one alon...

Lots of combat sports happening this week so we need to talk about all of them. Dirty Boxing's 4th official event takes place Thursday with the debut of Gable Steveson fresh off of a TKO win in his first mma fight. Karate Combat 57 is your Halloween fights happening Friday! Former UFC Fighters Uriah Hall and Luis Pena will be fighting on the main card amongst a few other familiar names. UFC Ve...

Lots of decisions on the card for UFC 321 but there were some good fights and a couple of great finishes. The unfortunate ending to the main event made the event feel disappointing. Eye pokes are a real problem in this sport and it ruins so many good fights! Mackenzie Dern put on a great performance and won the belt. A full recap and breakdown coming up.

Can Tom Aspinall beat Cyril Gane faster and better than Jon Jones did or will Gane take the title away from Aspinall in his first official defense? Who wins the vacant women's Strawweight belt between Virna Jandiroba and Mackenzie Dern? This is their second fight with the first being won by Dern, can she do it again?

What did we witness at #ufcvancouver There were so many controversies and weird things that went on but regardless the prelims had all finishes but 1 fight. This was the last stop before the highly anticipated UFC 321 and the return of Tom Aspinall as the official UFC Heavyweight champion!

Some good fights at the top of the card for UFC Rio but some filler fights for the rest of the card. Will we see a Brazilian sweep as we have in other international fights this year? Also we have GFL fight news?? Conor gets suspended...kind of. And DWCS week 9 crazy fight recap!

UFC 320 was a crazy night of fights! We got a familiar face back to being a champion, Alex Pereira makes quick work of Magomed Ankalaev. Merab extends his win streak to 14 and defends his title again proving he's one of the best of all time in the bantamweight division...if not the best! Plus some crazy KOs and controversy in PFL as well as some bloody and insane fights coming out of BKFC with...

UFC 320 has a lot to offer with 2 titles on the line! For the first of 2 PPVs this month We get a rematch between Ankalaev vs Pereira and Merab will try to defend his belt and extend his win streak to 14 against Cory Sandhagen. WIth possible title implications on the line, Jiri Prochazka takes on Khalil Rountree in what is sure to be an entertaining fight! Also, a recap of DWCS Week 8, some fight...

The UFC Perth card had an Aussie in every fight but 1 and they came out almost perfect! With some controversy in 1 fight the main card was almost filled with finishes, while the prelims were mostly decisions. Either way this card gave us some interesting outcomes and some exciting fights even with all of the doubts and shade being thrown at this event. Dan White's Contender Series Week 8 previ...

#ufcperth is Saturday and there are reports that the event is not selling well, is this a surprise? With that being said there's some good fights on this card but it's only a path to the upcoming PPV UFC 320. Dan White's Contender Series had some great fights this week to continue a successful 2025 season and a recap will be had to discuss the 6 contracts that were handed out. Also an...

UFC has released rendors of what the setup could potentially look like for the fights at the white house! Dana White has talked a bit about the details on various shows and interviews. What we all really want to know is who will fight on this card? We have to discuss the current rumors already swirling as well as what I feel would be great matchups. Also we will preview DWCS week 7 and other comba...

UFC has the week off and with no other big fights happening I feel lost! But of course we had a new episode of Dana White's Contender Series so a recap of that is necessary as well as discussing other combat sports news and rumors. Don't worry I always have something to talk about so jump in the Live chat and keep the conversation going! Proudly Sponsored by: Noctane Smelling Salts https:/...

UFC Noche had some good action but you know nothing crazy. If you watched Canelo vs Crawford directly after you might feel differently about what you saw earlier. If you know you know but some yawning might have occurred...either way a big weekend of fights and then NOTHING! No UFC next weekend so what do we do?? Proudly Sponsored by: Noctane Smelling Salts https://noctanesmellingsalts.com 00:00:0...

UFC Noche might not have the best card all the way through but that main event is sure to be a banger!! Can Diego Lopes put the nail in the coffin of the Fighting Nerds by handing Jean Silva a loss or Can Silva prove that doubting the Fighting Nerds is the wrong thing to do? Canelo vs Crawford is by far the most, and in some cases the only fight people might know on this card but there is definite...

UFC Paris came with the heat! All finishes in the prelims and only 2 decisions overall means these were entertaining fights! Unfortunately for the Fighting Nerds they did not get a win and lose their UFC undefeated records! What will come next? Did Imavov do enough to earn him the next title shot? Proudly Sponsored by: Noctane Smelling Salts https://noctanesmellingsalts.com 00:00:00 The Intro 00:1...

Mayweather vs Tyson in 2026?? This was just announced and it's confusing. The Fighting Nerds invade Paris!!! UFC Paris is here after a week off and we have some great fights to look forward to this weekend. Imavov vs Barralho is your Paris main event and for the co-main BSD vs Ruffy but this whole cad is pretty good! Also some other news from the combat sports world and a Dana White's Cont...

Without a UFC event this weekend Misfits Boxing and Dirty Boxing kept fight fans entertained. Misfits brought us 3 title fights with fighters that we all recognize and an influencer turned boxer. Tony Ferguson gets his first win in years beating Salt Papi and the fight world rejoiced! Dirty Boxing also brought us DBX3 with former UFC fighters all getting victories including Jairzinho Rozenstruik b...

With the rare UFC weekend off we have 2 events that have potential for action and VIOLENCE! Dirty Boxing is having their 3rd official event with DBX3. The inaugural Heavyweight belt is introduced with a former UFC contender fighting to become the first DBX Champion! This organization has proven to be one to watch with it's previous events and cards stacked with former UFC fighters. Also this w...

Did you watch UFC Shanghai? Did you watch it LIVE?? The prelims provided the big finishes and the main card brought unexpected outcomes...did you have Johnny Walker winning? Also, Rampage Jackson's son Raja has been IRL streaming and he got himself in some trouble after a situation escalated at a pro wrestling match that he was supposed to be a part of. There's a lot of opinions and judgem...

Will you stay up through the night and watch UFC Shanghai live or will you sleep a bit and wake up super early? Either way we have to talk about these matchups before the event happens. I feel like Brian Ortega vs Aljamain Sterling is a sneaky good fight that could outshine all of the rest! But the main event could definitely bring the action as well considering we've seen great fights from bo...

We have a new middleweight champion but it seems that despite the dominant performance by Chimaev fans are upset with the way the fight went down. Being called everything from boring to a disgrace it seems that past finishes and fights have been forgotten. Along with the new champ being crowned we also had 2 spinning back elbow Knockouts leading to the main event. Overall it was a good night of fi...

One of the most anticipated matchups of the year happens tonight, Dricus Du Plessis is defending his title for the third time but Khamzat Chimaev is looking to stop DDP's title run and become champ as well as keep his undefeated record. Proudly Sponsored by: Noctane Smelling Salts https://noctanesmellingsalts.com

Someone's 0 has got to go! While both fighters are undefeated in the UFC only Khamzat Chimaev is undefeated in his career. Can DDP survive the early bumrush or can he wear Chimaev out and beat him like he has all of the other big name fighters that he has faced? One thing is for sure and that is the Return of the UFC to Chicago already looks to be a memorable one but will it deliver? Proudly S...
