There's something that just feels right when the UFC is in Brazil and the fights are great! We hope everyone had a great weekend, but it's time to get to it! We start the episode off with a bit of unfortunate news regarding the podcast. Due to our lives's schedules and the ever-growing number of fights, we've decided to step away from weekly podcasting. This isn't us quitting as much as it is us getting a chance to figure out what will work best for all of us to continue to talk and fight with you all. While also still enjoying our own lives as we do this for free. We go more in-depth, but long story short, we will still be making IG, TikTok, and YouTube content, just taking a hiatus from the podcast on the weekly schedule that we've upheld for the better part of 2 years. I know that's a lot, but I promise we'll move into fun fight talk after. From there, we jump into our full UFC 301 recap. Starting off, we talk about Alexandre Pantoja's decision victory over Steve Erceg. We go at length about what could be next for Pantoja and the other contenders in the division. Next, we move into the co-main, which featured the return of the King of Rio, Jose Aldo, and man did he have a return! We have to discuss the idea of him returning to the UFC, as this was the last fight on his contract. We even talk about the possible route for him to get back to a title shot. Moving on, we give a full recap of the rest of the main card and some standout performances on the prelims, as Brazil's talent had a great showing! Next, we give our picks and predictions for UFC St. Louis, headlined by Derrick Lewis vs. Rodrigo Nascimento. We also previewed the co-main event of Joaquin Buckley and Nursulton Ruziboev. Lastly, we covered the news, which was light, but we talked about Shogun entering the UFC Hall of Fame, some fight announcements, and more. Like always, please be sure to like, comment, rate, and subscribe. And again, please give us a little grace as we take this short break. With huge PPVs coming up, there's no way we can stay away for long!

Back from recovering from the UFC 300 hangover, we have another great episode, so let's get into it. We start things off with a huge win for Alex Perez with his knockout of Matheus Nicolau. This was a great bounce-back win for Perez, who saw his victory for the first time since 2020. But also, this win puts him in a great spot in the division with so many contenders either injured or coming off a loss. From there, we give a quick recap of the rest of the card. Some great fights and performances from names that we will be seeing on bigger cards in the future. Next, we move into our picks and predictions for UFC 301. We were doing so much picking and predicting with UFC 300 that we decided to just preview the main and co-main events. In the main event, we have Alexandre Pantoja defending his title against the fast-rising Steve Erceg. In the co-main, we have the return from retirement fight of the King of Rio himself, Jose Aldo. He will be greeted by the always-dangerous Jonathan Martinez. Lastly, we move into the news, where we catch up on two weeks worth of fight announcements, some weird actions by the NSAC, and the announcement of UFC 304 being in Manchester, England. We even expand a little bit about how huge we think the event will be with all of the UK talent on the roster currently! Like always, please be sure to rate, like, comment, and share.

As MMA fans that go back to its early stages, we've been witness to a lot of cool things. Everything from super fights, double champs, comeback wins, great knockouts, careers being made, and even careers being ended. But I think we can speak for the MMA fandom in saying that UFC 300 was the greatest spectacle the sport has ever seen. So let's get started, because we got a lot to cover! Since we gave you picks and predictions for the whole card—all 13 fights—it's only right that we recap all 13! Starting with Alex Pereira flatlining Jamahal Hill to retain his 205-pound title. We even talk about what could be next for Alex. Between going up to heavyweight to chase being the first fighter to even hold belts at 3 weight classes or even who would make sense for him at light heavyweight. From there, we talk about some key performances from Zhang Weili, Max Holloway knocking out Justin Gaethje to essentially give himself a plethora of options, and Arman Tsarukyan putting himself in place to challenge Islam Makhachev. We also talk about some other huge performances on the prelims as well; like I said, we recap everything! With no fights this coming weekend, we will be taking next week off but will be back the following week to get you all ready for UFC 301! Lastly, we cover a few things in the news, including the UFC getting new gloves, some huge fight announcements, including Makhachev vs. Poirier, the official return of Conor McGregor, and more!

What's going on, everyone? We have a huge episode for you, so let's get right to it! We start things off by giving our recap of UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Curtis. This card was a little bit light on the meaningful fights, so the main event was the only fight we really spent time on. Brendan Allen ended up getting the decision win in the rematch with Chris Curtis. The fight was super close, and some people even dub it a fight of the year candidate. We spend a little bit of time talking about what could be next for Allen, who now has a crazy win streak and is searching for a title shot. From there, we move into the meat and potatoes of the episode. We give our picks and predictions for the whole UFC 300 card! That's right, not just the main card, not just the prelims, even the early prelims! We weren't even sure if we would be able to get it all done in one episode, but we powered through and locked in picks for all 13 fights! Finally, we cover a few things in the news, including Jon Jones possibly being in trouble again, some fight announcements, and more.

We hope everyone had a great Easter weekend. Let's get into this week's episode! We start things off by talking about Manon Fiorot's huge win over Erin Blanchfield. Not only talking about how well she fought in this fight, but even what she could bring to a fight against the champion. From there, we get into Joaquin Buckley taking advantage of his opportunity to defeat Vincente Luque and what his potential is for the welterweight division. Unfortunately, as we do the rest of our Atlantic City recap, we have to spend more time than we'd like discussing the two standout takeaways: eye pokes and sketchy refereeing. After that, we jump into our picks and predictions for this coming weekend's fight night, headlined by Brendan Allen vs. Chris Curtis. This is another card that we are only highlighting for one fight, but trust us, next week we pick for every single fight on UFC 300! Lastly, we get into the news, and there are some cool topics we discuss. Among them were some huge fight announcements regarding Robert Whittaker, Brandon Moreno taking a hiatus, if we think Tom Aspinall's next fight will be for the undisputed title, and much more!

We hope everyone is having a great week, and we hope to get it started off right with a fun episode! We start things off talking about the main event performance for Rose Namajunas as she gets back in the win column. We also discuss what this win does for Thug Rose, as she is still relatively new to the flyweight division. We also spend a little bit of time talking about the rest of the card. Although it was not star-studded, there were still some great performances. But one of the not-so-great performances even prompted our very own Nate to go on a bit of a tangent, addressing regions needing to evolve in the MMA landscape. From there, we move on to making our picks and predictions for this coming weekend's UFC Fight Night Atlantic City. We give picks for the main event, which features Erin Blanchfield vs. Manon Fiorot, and the co-main, featuring Vincente Luque vs. Joaquin Buckley. We even dropped an exclusive, impromptu announcement about our plans for UFC 300! Lastly, we jump into some news. We talk about a wide range of things, including the UFC antitrust lawsuit being settled, the Conor McGregor fight timeline, and Bellator announcements.
