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”

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.
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?

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

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

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.
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.
