    UFC Apex 100 Recap: Prates KOs Magny | Paul vs. Tyson & UFC 309 Previews

    A huge fight week is underway with two massive events in boxing and the UFC, and you won’t want to miss this episode of Morning Kombat! Luke and Brian kick things off by recapping this weekend’s UFC Fight Night, where Carlos Prates scored a stunning knockout win over Neil Magny in the main event—his fourth KO of the year. With this victory, does Prates now solidify himself as a legitimate contender? Next, they dive into the highly anticipated Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight, the biggest combat sports showdown of the week. What’s Jake Paul’s ultimate goal in boxing, and what would a win over Tyson do for his career? Despite Tyson being the betting underdog, how real are his chances of victory? And what happens to Paul if Tyson pulls off the upset? Will this event boost boxing or tarnish its reputation? The discussion then shifts to UFC 309, where Jon Jones faces Stipe Miocic in a legacy-defining fight. If both fighters retire afterward, what does their legacy look like? Should the winner of the co-main event between Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler —or even the loser—face Max Holloway for the BMF belt next? Plus, how will the ongoing talk of Jones potentially ducking Miocic impact the fight? Finally, Luke and Brian wrap up the episode with a quick recap of ONE 169, as well as big wins from Jaron Ennis and Bam Rodriguez in boxing.

    MMA & Boxing Weekend Preview | McGregor Trial Update | Dana White x Donald Trump

    Welcome to Friday MK, where Luke and Brian bring you the best reactions, in-depth breakdowns, and expert predictions on all things combat sports! In today’s episode, we’re previewing a packed weekend of fights, including UFC Apex, ONE Championship, and a star-studded boxing weekend. Plus, we dive deep into the ongoing Conor McGregor civil trial and Dana White’s comments on UFC's business ties with politics in the lead-up to the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election.  The UFC Apex card is headlined by a high-stakes welterweight battle between veteran Neil Magny and rising star Carlos Prates. Will Magny, the underdog, continue to defy expectations, or will Prates make a statement in his second UFC outing? We also break down the Reiner de Ridder vs. Gerald Meerschaert middleweight clash, with de Ridder making his long-awaited return to 185 pounds after a six-year hiatus. ONE Championship 169 brings the heavyweight fireworks with Anatoly Malykhin facing off against the explosive Reug Reug. But the drama doesn't stop there—Rodtang, the Muay Thai sensation, missed weight for his flyweight bout and was forced to vacate his title, adding extra chaos to the card.  It’s a monster weekend for boxing fans with multiple big cards across the globe, as rising stars Keyshawn Davis and Jaron Ennis headline separate cards.   Lastly, the guys provide the latest developments in the Conor McGregor civil trial and discuss the legal ramifications for McGregor as it continues. They also react to the Donald Trump winning the US Election. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    UFC Edmonton: Brandon Moreno Dominates | Max Holloway To Light Weight | UFC 309

    On the latest episode of Morning Kombat, the guys recap a busy weekend of UFC News. First, at UFC Edmonton, Brandon Moreno looked fully rejuvenated in a one-sided win over Amir Albazi. Did he prove he's all the way back and if so, does this mean he gets dibs on the next flyweight title shot? Erin Blanchfield earned the decision win over Rose Namajunas, but did she really impress in the process? Plus, in other UFC News, Max Holloway released a video where he declared his future fights will be at lightweight instead of featherweight. To what extent is this the right call? Also, do we like the Ian Garry-Joaquin Buckley UFC Tampa headliner? If so, does the winner become the top contender behind Shavkat Rakhmonov? Moving to UFC 309, if Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic is fun and exciting, does that mean putting Tom Aspinall on timeout all this time was justified? And, we're less than 2 weeks out from Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson, what chance are we giving Tyson to win and what would it even mean if he did? Learn more about your ad choices.

    Belal Muhammad OUT of UFC 310, UFC Edmonton preview, DDP vs. Chimaev? | MORNING KOMBAT

    Big news out of UFC means a stacked MK Friday. Luke and BC react to the news that Belal Muhammad is OUT of UFC 310 (Dec. 7) with a bone infection in his foot. Does it make more sense for UFC to keep Shavkat Rahkmanov on card in an interim welterweight title bout? Plus, once again Alex Pereira is offering to bail out the UFC. The company has reached out to him and Magomed Ankalaev about being the replacement headliner. Should Pereira make fourth appearance (and win) to close out 2024, how does that change FOY and P4P debate? Also, the fellas preview this weekends UFC Edmonton event and share their thoughts on the latest comments from DPP who reveals he would rather fight Khamzat Chimaev then Sean Strickland next. Is DDP-Chimaev the perfect main event for UFC to debut in Africa? Do you feel Chimaev or Strickland has a better shot at taking DDP's title? Lastly, the guys are joined by Rich Franklin, VP of ONE Championship, at noon! Learn more about your ad choices.

    UFC 308 Recap: Topuria KOs Holloway, Chimaev Submits Whittaker | MORNING KOMBAT

    What a weekend! The guys are back in studio to recap a historic UFC 308 event that lived up to it's hype. First, Luke and BC react to Ilia Topuria's stunning KO of Max Holloway. We already knew Topuria had the potential to be great. But after becoming the first man to knock down and knock out future Hall of Famer (and fellow P4Per) Max Holloway, does the MMA world owe Luke Thomas an apology after the results of UFC 308? Max Holloway fought his balls off in defeat, gave Topuria issues in first 2 rounds (despite judges barely rewarding him for his efforts). Who should be next for Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway? Does this lock up Fighter of the Year for Topuria? And would it be wrong for Ilia to receive P4P No. 1 votes after his last two performances?  In the co-main Khamzat Chimaev silenced critics, restored hype by breaking Robert Whittaker's jaw in Round 1. Although he entered as the No. 13-ranked middleweight, was Chimaev's dominant performance over a former champion and living legend like Whittaker enough to justify UFC to allow him to skip past even Sean Strickland for the next shot at DDP's 185-pound title. Plus, the guys discuss the Magomed Ankalaev, Shara Bullet & the rest of UFC 308 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
