MMA On Point - Podcast

UFC 300 is finally here and former champion Jamahal Hill returns to look to reclaim the UFC Light-heavyweight from Alex Pereira. And while Alex is a favourite, you can't underestimate what Hill can bring to a fight.

It might surprise you to learn, but UFC 300 isn't really UFC 300. But there are a ton of other facts this video takes the time to highlight. What's an interesting fact you've learned over the past few years watching this sport?

Nothing better than an undefeated UFC record right? Tons of hype, hopefully a ton of great finishes? Well... not in every case. We start from the worst down to the best ever of the undefeated fighters that made it all the way to a title shot with their '0' in tact.

As we count down the days to UFC 300, a lot of big fighters take the stage. But what exactly is on the line for these fighters and who comes out on top?

A lot of fighters find creative ways to promote themselves, whether it's the McGregor's, Chael's or Colby's of the MMA world, trash talk is often the route fighters take. Other times it's just by being funny or unhinged and doing a lot of media. In these cases though, good luck getting these fighters to sign up for all that.

Jamahal Hill returns against Alex Pereira in the main event of UFC 300 and he's already being completely overlooked but is it so farfetched to think he could not only win but come away with a KO win?

We all make mistakes in life. Hopefully, not ones that are too long-reaching, but in the case of these fighters, their careers were forever affected and unfortunately not in a good way.

Nooooooo! Honestly our reaction to most of these. Moments where even the most beloved fighters in MMA history flipped the script on us and looked more like the villain.

Kayla Harrison makes her long awaited UFC debut at UFC 300 against Holly Holm but she makes that debut at 135lbs. A drastic weight cut from her usual 155lbs weigh in. Is this cut possible?

The UFC and the media don't exact have a cozy relationship. Whether it was back in the old SEG era, the Zuffa era or today in the TKO era, the UFC and Dana White have had it out with MMA media many times.

Chris Weidman acknowledges he’s already defied the odds by returning to the UFC after his leg snapped in half during a fight against Uriah Hall in 2021. But this weekend, Weidman faces Bruno Silva at the upcoming UFC Atlantic City card in New Jersey. Immediately after the fight was announced, he confessed that his body had been through the ringer and there was a chance the Silva matchup “could be...

A few select MMA fighters just seem to be unstoppable. In some cases, no one ever does figure these mythical athletes out and they even retire like in the case of Khabib. But for these few UFC fighters, their nightmare finally became a reality and often in the most dramatic way possible.

Throughout MMA history it's virtually unheard of for a division to pretty much lose all it's champions at once. That is happening right now with the UFC's heavyweight division through Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic. This situation leaves behind Tom Aspinall, Blaydes without really having and big names to fight and no more big names left in the division.

The antitrust lawsuit against the UFC is over and the shareholders are happy. That was the big news Wednesday, as the UFC’s parent company — TKO Group Holdings — filed a disclosure with the Securities and Exchange Commission revealing that the company has settled two separate class action lawsuits with a total payout of $335 million to UFC fighters who were challenging the UFC's pay structure.

Taunting can be an amazing thing for a fighter to build hype and get fan support. Perhaps even make a fighter look untouchable...but when taunts go wrong...they can REAAALLY go wrong. These are the biggest taunt fails in the MMA history.

In an interview with TalkSportMMA during his press tour of Roadhouse, Conor McGregor has stated that his conversations with the UFC and Dana White have halted and he hasn't heard anything from them for a while. But what happened to the Chandler fight? Why hasn't that been finalised??

HOW!? That's the real question. The amount of punishment these fighters underwent in these title fights is just unreal. Of course, the most recent example is O'Malley vs Vera, but there are plenty more as well and it's pretty mind-blowing to see these fighters pull through.

Along the way the UFC has left a ton of money on the table or greatly cost themselves through shortsightedness, and today I thought it would be fun to look at the times they tripped and fell on their financial face and seriously fumbled the bag.

Bo Nickal returns to the octagon on the biggest stage at UFC 300, unseating former champions and exciting new arrivals to take a place on the main card. But does he really deserve it?

In this video, we break down the most persistent MMA Myths. And not just the easy ones that everyone knows are false now. Instead, we really tried to dig deep into what people currently believe about the sport. Whether it's ring rust, hydration testing, abstaining before fights, there's a ton to cover. Buckle up, grab some popcorn, and enjoy!

Can Marc Goddard, UFC Referee guess what happens next in these fights?

In these 10 fights we knew the champ was in serious trouble and fully expected to see a title change by the end of the night.

UFC 299 proved to be a big moment for Sean O'Malley as he cruised over Marlon Vera to retain his belt and his post fight interview showed who he has his sights set on next, but is he really ready for Ilia Topuria?

Despite KO'ing one of the best bantamweights the UFC has ever seen to win the belt, it seems that the fan base is turning on Sean O'Malley before UFC 299. But was he ever 'the guy' in the first place?

Let's take a detailed looked UFC 299 and compare it with 300. Did the UFC drop the ball on the biggest card in 100 PPVs?
