    🥊 UFC Sacramento Recap with Ray Longo & UFC Shanghai Picks + RJ Clifford | Anik & Florian

    The Anik & Florian Podcast is LIVE with a must-watch breakdown of an absolutely insane UFC Fight Night from Sacramento. Jon Anik and Kenny Florian are fresh off a card that delivered everything, a five-round war, a shocking main event result, and a statement-making debut from a former two-division ONE champion. We’re talking Gregory "Robocop" Rodrigues silencing the Golden 1 Center by outlasting hometown hero Anthony "Fluffy" Hernandez in a grueling, bloody middleweight main event. Before that, the card saw EIGHT straight finishes, including SIX in the first round. We break down every devastating moment. Reinier de Ridder made his long-awaited light heavyweight debut and absolutely smashed Roman Dolidze in Round 1, how high is his ceiling at 205? Plus, former Jets linebacker Anthony Wint put a man to sleep in his UFC debut, and we’ve got all the prelim highlights, including Shamil Gaziev’s vicious knockout and Chris Padilla’s last-second submission. We’re also joined by Ray Longo for the Ray Longo Minute to get his expert take on the Sacramento chaos, and RJ Clifford stops by for Rated RJ to drop his no-nonsense analysis. We’re breaking down the main card, handing out our Performance and Fight of the Night awards, and looking ahead to UFC Fight Night: Nurmagomedov vs. Song with our Main-Event Challenge and picks for the card.

    UFC 330 Recap with Ray Longo and RJ Clifford, UFC Sacramento Picks, and Guest Glover Teixeira

    WHAT IS UP fight fans! It’s that time again for the only MMA podcast that blends insider access with Barstool-level energy. Jon Anik and Kenny Florian are coming at you LIVE from the @AnikFlorianPod YouTube channel, and Episode 608 is absolutely LOADED. We are breaking down every second of UFC 330, and let’s be honest—history was made in a big way. Islam Makhachev officially broke Anderson Silva’s legendary 16-fight win streak, securing his 17th straight UFC victory while defending the 170lb welterweight title. We are diving deep on where Islam sits on the all-time P4P GOAT list, and whether Ian Machado Garry’s stock actually rises despite the loss. Plus, Edson Barboza laid down his gloves and retired after 16 years, Mackenzie Dern retained her strawweight title in a grappling war, and Jalin Turner scored another first-round KO. We have Glover Teixeira joining the show as well as UFC MW Donte Johnson. PLUS, Ray Longo stops by for the Ray Longo Minute, and RJ Clifford breaks down the numbers. Buckle up, because this one is going to get wild. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    UFC 330 Preview with Jon Anik & Kenny Florian, Ray Longo, RJ Clifford, & Gianni The Greek

    WHAT IS UP fight fans! It’s that time again for the only MMA podcast you need—The Anik & Florian Podcast is LIVE and we are BUCKLE UP because this one is absolutely stacked. We’re coming off a WILD weekend at UFC Fight Night where Australian contender Quillan Salkilld just shocked the entire lightweight division by submitting Mateusz Gamrot in the first round with a rear-naked choke. Gamrot got hurt early by a crisp left hook, shot desperately, and Salkilld took his back and put him to sleep—absolute CLINIC. We’re breaking down every second of that card plus all the fallout from Diego Ferreira’s striking masterclass over Billy Quarantillo, Yadier del Valle’s 35-second knockout of Darren Elkins, and Ty Miller stopping Billy Ray Goff. But that’s just the appetizer because we’ve got HUGE UFC 331 fight announcements straight from LA—Joshua Van makes his second flyweight title defense against former champ Alexandre Pantoja in a rematch years in the making, and Arman Tsarukyan battles dangerous striker Mauricio Ruffy in a five-round lightweight co-main that’s going to be fireworks. We’re also looking ahead to UFC 330 where Islam Makhachev puts his welterweight belt on the line against undefeated Ian Machado Garry, plus the breaking news that Usman Nurmagomedov has officially hit free agency at 22-0. And we take a moment to honor the sudden passing of Allan “Puro Osso” Nascimento at just 34 years old—a pillar of Chute Boxe Diego Lima and a brother to Charles Oliveira, deeply missed across the entire Brazilian fight scene. We’ve got the legendary Ray Longo joining us for the Ray Longo Minute with a fiery “Would You Rather,” RJ Clifford drops by for Rated RJ, and Gianni the Greek is in the house to break down our Main-Event Challenge with $3,000 in bets for UFC 330—including Jalin Turner vs Kaue Fernandes, Esteban Robotics vs Edson Barboza, Mansur Abdul-Malik vs Dustin Stoltzfus, Jose Ochoa vs Charles Johnson, Mackenzie Dern vs Gillian Robertson, and the big one: Makhachev vs Machado Garry. Let’s be honest—you don’t want to miss a second of this. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
