UFC 297 was a card that happened. It wasn't a great card, really not even a good card. But it happened. The main event saw Dricus Du Plessis edges Sean Strickland over five rounds and take the UFC middleweight title. This sets up that long(ish)-awaited matchup with two time former champion Israel Adesanya. Dricus Du Plessis is the second fighter born in Africa to win a UFC title after Francis Ngan...

Ismael Barroso is the old man we all want! This weekend, he took on Ohara Davies and put him away in the first round. He reminded everyone that he may be 40, ancient in the sport of boxing, but he's got the mythical old man strength. With the win, Ismael Barroso captured the interim WBA World Super Lightweight title and possibly a rematch with Rolando Romero. Of course that is possibly up to whate...

Joseph Parker defeated Deontay Wilder and ruined everyone’s most wanted Christmas present that is Anthony Joshua vs. Deontay Wilder. The performance from Joseph Parker was nothing short of fantastic and Parker deserves all the praise and big name fights he gets going forward. Not to take away from Jospeh Parker but Deontay Wilder looked like HOT GARBAGE! It also makes sense that Joseph Parker trai...

UFC 296 featured two title fights in Leon Edwards vs. Colby Covington and Alexandre Pantoja vs. Brandon Royval as well as the return of Shavkat Rakhmonov. We will discuss all this on today's episode. In the main event of UFC 296, Leon Edwards cruised to a decision over perennial number 2 Colby Covington. We will talk about why Leon Edwards was so effective over Colby Covington including a lot...

Jesse Bam Rodriguez is the best boxer that most of you don't know. The casual boxing fan tends to ignore the smaller fighters. But Jesse Rodriguez is one you have to hop on now! Last night on DAZN, he dominated Sunny Edwards with a ninth round RTD that unified his reign at flyweight. Now the next challenge may be back at his higher weight class against Junto Nakatani. Jesse Rodriguez put his W...

Jake Paul returned to action last night and knocked out Andre August in the first round. In today’s podcast we will discuss Jake Paul vs. Andre August and see what we can glean from the one round of action. Jake Paul was lighter on his feet, added some new tools like that nice uppercut, and showed some old bad tendencies. After beating REAL BOXERS in Anderson Silva and Andre August, it’s time to s...

Chris Gutierrez makes any exciting boring. No more main events, please? Maybe after his one sided defeat to Song Yadong we will be spared just that. On the other hand, Song Yadong has bright things ahead with his second straight win. Song Yadong took on a tough fight in Gutierrez despite fighting severely down in the rankings. Now Song Yadong should get another crack at the elite with a fight with...

Devin Haney dominated Regis Prograis to win a unanimous decision to become champion in his second weight class. After going undisputed at 135, Devin Haney moved up to 140 for bigger and better fights. Now, the division is the best in boxing and Devin Haney has options. Teofimo Lopez is the fight to make, sure, but there’s also Subriel Matias who are compelling fights. Don’t forget Ryan Garcia and...

Arman Tsarukyan made a huge statement at UFC Austin with his first round knockout of Beneil Dariush. In under a minute, Arman Tsarukyan made his statement as one of lightweight’s best fighters and a bonafide contender. In today’s podcast, we are going to talk about Tsarukyan’s win as well as future options for the Armenian going forward. Arman Tsarukyan vs. Islam Makhachev 2? Justin Gaethje? Mateu...

Ryan Garcia knocked out Oscar Duarte in round eight in his return to action last weekend. Today we will discuss Garcia’s performance and ask ourselves why he just seems to be uncoachable. Ryan Garcia has had two of boxing’s best trainers in Eddy Reynoso and Derrick James and he just seems to do what he wants. All criticism aside, Ryan Garcia did make good adjustments that put him over the top but...

Boxing is a centuries old sport with a history as old as time. How does a sport that old and established get disrupted in the manner it has? Today we are talking about Jake Paul, Logan Paul, and KSI and how they use their influencer status to change boxing. Jake Paul and Logan Paul are doing nothing different than boxing’s done for forever except for the fact that they’re mainlining it to their au...

David Benavidez put on a fantastic performance against Demetrius Andrade this past weekend. But what worries me is the false confidence this gives Canelo haters. Benavidez looked good but Demetrius Andrade managed to get the best of him a lot. Don’t think that this performance is indicative of what would happen if David Benavidez took on Canelo. In addition to David Benavidez vs. Demetrius Andrade...

Today we are talking PFL’s 2023 tournament championships. While fights like Olivier Aubin-Mercier vs. Clay Collard and Kayla Harrison vs. Aspen Ladd were fun, sitting through the broadcast was mind numbing at best. We will talk about what PFL can do to make the production of their event better. But we can’t talk about just that. We have to talk about fights! PFL put on six title fights and we talk...
