Ep. 74 - Did Aspinall want out? what's next for the heavyweights?

Alright legends, strap in. UFC 321 was an absolute circus. Three blokes missed weight before we even got started, and the refs actually grew a spine for once. Maksum grabs the fence, point gone, fair play. Next fight, Abdelwahab drops a cheeky elbow to the back of the head, bang, another point. Love to see it.

Wood vs. Delgado had a couple of nut shots, but Herzog handled it like a pro. Then we got Klein vs. Beck, a proper war until Klein’s ankle gave way and he couldn’t stand, brutal stuff. Ikram looked solid, Walker snagged another sub, and Salkilld flattened his opponent on short notice. Rakvic got sparked by a jab (yeah, that bad), and Dern’s your new champ, even if the commentary team were carrying pom-poms for her.

Umar looked sharp, Bautista didn’t lose any stock, and then there’s Tommy and Gane, eye pokes, chaos, and Dana’s face said it all.

We wrap it all up with some spicy MMA news:

  • Patchy Mix fails a drug test (shock horror)

  • DC’s take on the heavyweight mess

  • Conor stirring the pot as usual

  • Jon Jones trolling everyone with a new profile pic

  • Islam being funny one minute and a menace the next

  • Poatan roasting Tom’s “acting”

  • Jim Miller weighing in on the eye-poke plague

  • Bryce Mitchell’s nose now in two pieces

  • And apparently, UFC’s moving to Paramount+ but Kayo’s still got the PPVs

Oh, and Ilia vs. Paddy and Volk vs. Movsar are looking real, huge if true.

Stick around for the banter, the breakdowns, and a few laughs at Conor’s expense.

Ep. 73 - UFC 321 preview - Clip that chat

Oi, what a week in MMA! In this episode, we take a proper look back at UFC Vancouver. Bruno Silva pulled off a slick sub, Aori Qileng landed a filthy KO, and Drew Dober delivered two straight shots to the plums, lost a point, then came back swinging like a lunatic to put Propelec to sleep. Classic Dober.

We also chat about Big Dan’s absolute blunder, stopping a fight with a full 3 seconds on the clock and the fight continuing.

Then we dive into UFC 321 for the preview. The Mutt Multi is back with picks from Matt, Brad, and Jack, and of course, a bit of head-to-head heat. Who’s nailing the tips, and who’s way off?

Plenty of fight announcements and MMA headlines to get through:

  • Ilia vs Paddy locked in for UFC 324, Paramount’s first crack at it

  • Strickland vs Fluffy coming in hot

  • RIP to the great Duke Roufus, gone way too soon

  • One FC firing shots

  • Chito popping his own finger back in, tough as nails

  • Serial killer vibes during a walkout… legit?

  • RDR making excuses but still chasing Strickland

  • Jon Jones frothing over Hasbulla again

  • Merab being a mad unit

  • Ariel grilling Moneyberg

  • Arnold Allen apparently jumped in Montreal?

  • And yep, Rogan’s now hyping Jones vs Pereira at the White House 🤯

It’s all happening. Punch-ons, controversy, and a healthy dose of nonsense. Let’s rip in.

Ep. 71 Conor Mcgregor inks a White House contract

Righto, in this week’s episode we go over the chaos from UFC Perth, preview the bangers lined up for UFC 320, and as always, we’ve got a stack of fight news, dodgy takes, and questionable predictions.

Ep. 70 - Scousers sometimes get knocked out

Righto, we’re back previewing UFC Perth this week and throwing out a few Piestrong punts for the crowd. Some cracking matchups on this card, so we’re having a proper look.

Bit going on in the fight world too
Fiziev’s out and it looks like Gamrot’s stepping in against Charles
Ilia vs Paddy’s being lined up for UFC 324 - fair to say one of those blokes is getting exposed
Danaher’s had a swing at Moneyberg (yep, that’s still a thing)
Conor reckons he’s fighting Chandler on a White House card… we’ll believe it when we see it
The Jake Paul vs Andre August Davis circus kicks off
Darren Till’s loving life, who should he punch next
Danis reckons Holland’s an easy lay up to the rankings
Poatan’s hitting mitts like a demon, apparently Big Ank hid from him at the PI (can’t blame him)
Movsar’s calling out contenders, probably because he knows the title shot isn’t coming
Paddy calls his shot… and somehow insults all of Spain in the process
Islam and JDM keep their undefeated runs going and it’s looking scary
JDM’s training with Bam Bam now so you know it’s getting loose
And no, there’s still no Francis for that PFL heavyweight title fight. Yawn

We wrap it all up with some current events, a couple of hot takes, and a deep philosophical debate

Ep. 69 - Scrap recaps, UFC Noche + Crawford vs Canelo

Alright, strap in.

In this episode we unpack Crawford vs Canelo on Netflix.

Jon Anik once again carried the UFC commentary team, Dana looked like he was ready for a nap, and somehow Mr Beast copped a punch from Tyson. The pacing? Mate, 4 fights over 4+ hours. That’s not a fight card, that’s punishment.

🛎️ UFC Noche Recap + UFC Perth Preview
Bit of a look back at Noche, and we’re looking ahead to UFC Perth, should be a banger if everyone shows up awake this time. Bit of chat about who’s rising, who’s coasting, and what might blow up on the Aussie card.

📢 Fight Announcements & News

  • Costa vs Shara reckon he bailed once he heard Costa’s game plan.

  • Fluffy’s out, Brendan Allen steps in, does this open the door for Imavov vs Khamzat?

  • Strickland fronts up to Moneyberg, like, literally.

  • Jon Jones gives Dana an apology no one asked for.

  • Kelvin can’t make weight. Again.

  • Holm apparently turned down a fat payday for a rematch.

  • Silva and Lopez nearly chuck hands in a hotel lobby.

  • Conor’s pulled out of the presidential race and… signed Obie Trice to a label? I dunno, mate.

🧨 Hot Takes & Unpopular Opinions
A bunch of journos reckon the UFC’s got a star power issue, I call bullshit. Just ’cause no one’s touching peak-Conor doesn’t mean the roster’s empty. You’ve got O’Malley, Khamzat, Ilia, Islam, JDM, DDP, Jones, all household names now, not just niche fight fans. The game’s changed. Stop comparing everyone to McGregor in 2016.

📰 Random Mayhem & Current Events

  • Charlie Kirk’s apparently been murdered — the online reaction is proper cooked.

  • Paul vs Davis not happening in Georgia, and Lopes is shadowboxing KO scenarios already.

  • Big year ahead in 2026. Could be chaos.

Ep. 68 - UFC Paris Recap, UFC Noche Preview - CJI cash controversy

Oi legends, back on the mics after a wild week in the fight world.

We kick off with a full recap of UFC Paris, where the French delivered carnage. Only two decisions on the entire card, the rest? Straight KOs.

  • Paul Craig got absolutely ironed out at the buzzer, brutal hellbow.

  • BSD made Ruffy look like he’d never seen a mat, got the tap and made it look easy.

  • Caio vs Imavov was a proper scrap, high level, but with a couple of cheeky eye pokes that stirred the pot.

Then we look ahead to UFC Noche, solid card, not a PPV, but there’s value if you know where to punt.
We drop a few Piestrong punts too, have a crack (or don’t, we’re not your financial advisor).

📢 Fight Announcements:

  • Pantoja vs Van locked for Dec 6 at UFC 323

  • Islam vs JDM?? What the hell is happening

  • Zhang vs Shev, Prates vs Edwards, Hooker vs Arman

  • Topuria vs Almakhan, Yadong vs O’Malley, and yeah Costa’s apparently fighting the “one-eyed bloke”

  • Reports say Ilia’s out till 2026 rough scenes

🗞️ MMA News and it’s chaos as usual:

  • Strickland gets roasted

  • Danis and Rockhold throw hands at the weigh-in, now Danis reckons DC’s next

  • Jamie Foxx opens up about the Tyson biopic

  • Volk lands a movie gig, Cejudo arrested, Anderson Silva wins a lawsuit

  • Bo Nickel slander, Pico KO’d into a 6-month layoff, and Merab’s calling out Petr Yan

  • Oh, and Colby wants in on the White House card

  • Gordon Ryan says a year with DDP and he’s ready for Khamzat, okay mate

🔥 Hot Take of the Week:
Who’s the most disliked fighter in the UFC right now... and why is it Belal?

🥋 CJI Recap to wrap it up:

  • Day 1 had solid grappling but way too much stalling, bit of a letdown

  • CJ threw $50K per sub on Day 2 to get things moving, and it worked

  • B-Team got the dub, but it wasn’t without drama

  • The money guys handed New Wave $1M, even though CJ didn’t want it, got overruled

  • Helena dominated the women’s division and took home $100K

  • And the open scoring in the women’s matches? Honestly sick. UFC should seriously look at it

Press play, grab a cold one, and let’s get into it.

Ep. 64 - On paper Khamzat wins but DDP cant even read

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 era

Plus we get into some spicy current events — no more Down syndrome cases? A wild claim, but it’s out there.

And that bombshell about the Obama admin allegedly creating a false narrative to boot Trump in 2016. Big stuff.

Then to wrap it all up:
• A few hot takes including why Tom Aspinall is the only thing keeping the heavyweight division alive right now

Whether you’re punching darts, cruising in the ute, or just killing time, chuck us on and let’s rip in.

Ep. 63 Scrap recap - Conor "and still" but not what you think

Righto, in this week’s episode we’re unpacking the Taira vs Park and Hernandez vs Dolidze scraps — bit to chew on there. Judges were in rare form again, a couple of sketchy splits, and they completely tossed a 10 8 round in the Julius Walker fight. No idea what they were watching.

We’ve got a full UFC 319 preview, plus a few punts we’re having a look at if you’re keen to throw some coin.

New fights just dropped:

  • Ruffy vs BSD

  • Umar vs Bautista

  • Oliveira vs Fiziev (absolute banger)

  • Vera vs Zahabi

  • Ilia vs Gaethje getting lined up for December

  • Jimmy Crute signing the dotted line for Perth, Aussie boy’s back

MMA world’s off its head this week:

  • McGregor loses his appeal again

  • Khamzat wanted $700k from Adin Ross to stream with him, Islam did it for free 😂

  • Martin Buday cut from the UFC even though he was 7 and 1

  • Ribas copped it rough

  • DDP’s looking MASSIVE, could easily run at 205

  • Jake Paul’s taking swings at Piers Morgan now

  • Strickland’s still saying cooked stuff online, what’s new

  • Ngannou’s not on the PFL boss’s Christmas list

  • Rogan’s making more than some fighters just to chat

  • Mighty Mouse doing… well, whatever that was

  • And apparently Conor wants to be president but can’t even get 12k signatures

Wrapped it all up with a bit of CrossFit chat (Toomey is the GOAT) and Angel Reese flexing on social media like it’s her job — which, to be fair, it kinda is.

Give it a listen, throw us a follow, and as always, swing hard and keep your chin down.

Ep. 62 scrap recaps, Whittaker vs De Ridder. Conor back in the testing pool

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 Park
Fight announcements like Pico vs Lerone Murphy as the 319 co-main and Ulberg vs Reyes headlining UFC Perth, banger

Bit of news around the traps:
The Flack Forge Inn burned down (with Conor chiming in of course)
Pavlovich dodges JJ’s handshake
Shavkat’s family involved in a car crash, awful stuff
T-Ferg’s maths still not mathing
Costa getting chirpy online
And chat around a social media ban for under 16s , thoughts?

Cheers for tuning in. As always, give it a listen, share it around, and I’ll catch ya next week.

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.

• FOTN goes to Nate and Morgan, absolute war
• Trump pops into the cage post fight to chat with Derrick Lewis (yep, that happened)
• Dana hints Lewis could be one fight away from a title shot
• That stoppage, yeah, bit quick if you ask me

Now here’s the big one. Dana’s cooking up a PPV card at the bloody White House. Not joking. Crew has already inspected the site, planning layouts, even looking at construction. Says it will be the best card ever. Don’t hold your breath on a lineup though, too far out. Also, some goose asked if Dana’s now open to stadium shows. His answer, “No.” Classic.

We’ve even got Royal vs Moreno 3 for Noche UFC, and a cheeky Ortega vs Aljo scrap coming too. Fights dropping left, right, and centre.

  • Bo Nickal making waves

  • Paddy getting title shot whispers (seriously?)

  • Khabib reckons Herb saved Conor

  • DC’s dropping kegs

  • Max Holloway confirms he’s done at 145

  • Jake Paul out here giving Ben Askren 500k for surgery…
