It's all about the fights this week as Kurt and Ben break down all the action from last weekend and look ahead to a stacked UFC 269. What's next for Jose Aldo after another big win at bantamweight? How hyped are we for the Bellator bantamweight grand prix?
Looking ahead, UFC 269 is everything we want. Charles Oliveira vs. Dustin Poirier is an absolute banger of a fight, and we give it the attention it deserves.
The boys break down last weekend's UFC card, which was a bit of a slog, outside of Sean Brady out-grappling Michael Chiesa in the biggest win of his career. What's next for Brady, and what's next for main event winner Ketlen Vieira? Or main event loser Miesha Tate?
We also talk Cris Cyborg and Kayla Harrison. Will this actually happen?
Also, we give our thanks for our favorite things in MMA right now.
On this weeks episode Kurt and Ben discuss this past weekends amazing UFC 268 card. What's next for the winner and losers? We also talk Bellator and this upcoming weekends main event between Yair Rodriguez and Max Holloway!

We close the show with a detailed breakdown of the excellent UFC 267 fight card including 2 title fights and a ton of other marquee matchups!
The boys are back to talk all things combat sports. We kick things off by recapping the epic third fight between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder, then move into recapping the past couple weeks of MMA action. Did MVP deserve the nod over Douglas Lima? And after a win over Mackenzie Dern, is Marina Rodriguez looking like a championship-level fighter?
Looking ahead, Bellator brings a solid card with light heavyweights in action, and... the UFC has a card? At least it has Jim Miller.
UFC 266 was a banger, through and through. Alexander Volkanovski and Brian Ortega put on a fight of the year contender, Valentina Shevchenko did what she does, and Nick Diaz and Robbie Lawler put on a best-case-scenario fight. Some fans are calling for Diaz's next fight, but do we even want to see that?
Looking forward, why on earth is MVP a favorite over Douglas Lima at Bellator 267? And will Johnny Walker vs. Thiago Santos be a bonkers banger, or a snoozefest?
Kurt and Ben are back talking all things current combat sports. What's next for Anthony Smith after his main event win over Ryan Spann? Is Yoel Romero past his prime, or is Phil Davis just still doing Phil Davis things?
Looking ahead, we have a packed weekend. UFC 266 is one of the promotion's best offerings this year, complete with violence fights, championship fights, and, of course, the return of Nick Diaz.
Also, Usyk vs. Joshua is a massive boxing fight, and for the grappling fans, the Who's Number One Chamionships should bring the heat.
Ben is joined by elite jiu-jitsu competitor Elisabeth Clay to discuss the upcoming Who's Number One Championships. Elisabeth will be competing alongside seven of the world's best heavyweight grapplers for a chance at $30,000 in what is shaping up to be one of the biggest and most exciting grappling events ever.
Elisabeth won the ADCC West Coast Trials at just 16-years old, and has been competing and winning at the highest level since, winning major tournaments and matches in both the gi and no-gi.
Kurt and Ben are joined by Dan Tom of MMA Junkie and the Protect Ya' Neck Podcast to give their top 3 MMA entrances ever. From angry nu-metal in the UFC's early years to elaborate entrances at the height of Pride, to modern-day iconic walkouts, the boys discuss the biggest, best, and most memorable entrances in MMA history.
Take a trip down memory lane or learn some MMA history in this very special episode!

We are back to discuss Bellator 263 and the crowning of new Bellator Featherweight champion, AJ Mckee. Bellator has a star in the making and we are pumped about it! What's next for AJ Mckee and is he in Bellator for good?
We also discuss Sean Strickland's dominating win over Urijah Hall and what could be next for him. Hey there's a UFC ppv this weekend! UFC 265. Complain if you want about the interim title being on the line but none the less Derrick Lewis and Cyril Gane will battle for the strap in the main event. The card underneath them is also sneaky good.
To wrap it all up, the UFC went on a matchmaking spree this week. We react to some of the monster fights that were announced!
On this week's episode Kurt and Ben discuss Islam Mahkachev’s main event win. Is he the heir to Khabib’s throne? Who should he fight next?
We also look back at Bellator 262 and preview this weekend excellent main event between TJ Dillashaw and Corey Sandhagen
Kurt and Ben give UFC 264 the full review it deserves. After Conor McGregor's second consecutive loss to Dustin Poirier, is the magic still there? Is this the beginning of Conor's decline from grace, or are we already past that? In other action, Gilbert Burns looked phenomenal against Stephen Thompson, and Ilia Topuria impressed against Ryan Hall.
Looking forward, Islam Makhachev will look for a statement win against Thiago Moises, and FINALLY Nick Diaz is officially booked in a return fight. What do we think about his opponent?
The Boys are back! Before breaking down this excellent UFC 264 card they talk Heavyweight shenanigans.
Full UFC 264 preview plus we talk announced fights.
The boys are back to talk all things violence. The Korean Zombie flashed some serious grappling prowess in his win over a game Dan Ige. Matt Brown melted Dhiego Lima, which gives Kurt even more reason to call for a Matt Brown vs. Nick Diaz fight. A boy can dream, right? Also, there was a major robbery in the PFL... but maybe it all worked out in the end?
Looking ahead, is there hope for an exciting fight between Ciryl Gane and Alexander Volkov? Again, let's hope. Also, PFL brings the noise once again with Lance Palmer now in a must-finish situation. Bellator offers an underwhelming card.
We close the show with some jiu-jitsu talk. So, about Robert Drysdale, huh?
The boys have plenty to chat about this week as they recap Israel Adesanya's title defense against Marvin Vettori and Brandon Moreno's spectacular title winning performance at UFC 263. Also, Bellator has crowned a new welterweight champ in Yaroslav Amosov, and Claressa Shields made her triumphant MMA debut.
Looking ahead, Korean Zombie vs. Dan Ige is a banger of all bangers, and PFL action on Thursday has us captivated.
Kurt and Ben are once again joined by our resident betting expert Bob Voss for a quick and to-the-point gambling preview of UFC 263. We have a couple of consensus bets and a handful of underdogs we like here, so let us make you some money!
We are back and looking forward to an action packed MMA weekend on the horizon. But first we can’t help but talk about the “Fight” between Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul. The entertainment era is upon us. For how long? We have no idea.
Claressa Shields makes her MMA debut on this Thursday’s PFL MMA card. This card is sneaky good! On Friday, Douglas Lima defends his Bellator Welterweight title against the undefeated Yaroslav Amosov. It all culminates with Saturday’s excellent UFC 263 PPV!
In a very special episode, the boys are joined again by the talented Chris Rini to talk about his new book, "The Fine Art of Violence, Volume 2." Chris talks art and artistry in MMA, the group of writers and artists he brought together for this book, and some of his favorite stories and moments of the past year.
Chris sticks around for a discussion on The Ultimate Fighter (bleh), Jon Jones, the Paul brothers, and in general all things violence.
It's a bit of a slow week in MMA, but the boys have plenty to talk about. First, a recap of Rob Font's dominant performance over Cody Garbrandt in the main event of UFC Vegas. Also, should we write of Edmen Shahbazyan yet?
Kurt and Ben also look back at Bellator 259 -- Cris Cyborg's domination of Leslie Smith, Leandro Higo's split decision over Darrion Caldwell, and Valerie Loureda's first loss.
Finally, a look back and ahead at The Ultimate Fighter. With the launch of a new season, will anything be different? Are we buying in or out? What would make us watch??
Kurt and Ben are joined by BJJ legend and all around badass Tom Deblass!
Tom touches on a wide variety of topics, from the changing landscape of Jiu-Jitsu, the IBJJF finally legalizing heel hooks and reaps, views on cross training and his first ever amateur fight. We had a blast so please enjoy!
After a week off YouTube we are back talking all things #UFC262. What a show it was!
In the main event Charles Oliveira (who is only 31 btw) finally realizes his UFC dream 28 fights later. We talk his road to the UFC title and what could be next for the champ. We also break down the co-main event and the rest of an action packed PPV card.
No stop for the UFC as they are back this weekend with a card headlined by Rob Font and Cody Garbrandt. The co-main features an important tilt in the always exciting women’s Straweight division.
Bellator 259 this weekend, Fury vs Joshua talk and what the heck is going on with the UFC Heavyweight division?!
Kurt and Ben recap a busy weekend in MMA, with Marina Rodriguez establishing herself as a legitimate contender (we think?), Fabricio Werdum getting a "Brazilian tap" loss overturned, Sergio Pettis winning the Bellator bantamweight title, and Anthony Johnson actually coming back from adversity to pick up a big win (over a one-handed fighter...). Is this Anthony Johnson 2.0?
Also, we look ahead to a very fun UFC 262. The boys disagree on the main event between Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler, but agree that it's a banger.
Finally, we have some thoughts on Gordon Ryan taking on Shinya Aoki in a grappling match. Yawn.
Ben is joined by resident gambling expert Bob Voss for a quick but quality gambling preview of UFC 262.

Finally Kurt and Ben have a full schedule of fights to talk about. Following his quick finish of Emmanuel Sanchez at Bellator 255, is Patricio Pitbull the best featherweight in the world?
Looking ahead, we have a full slate of fights. ONE Championship will make their US primetime debut with Demetrious Johnson and Eddie Alvarez on the card.

Kurt is joined this week by University of Mount Olive wrestler Dimitri Naimi and Edward Gallo from The Fite Site and Bloody Elbow.
The boys give full bracket breakdowns and predictions. Early round matchups, bracket busters and more!
UFC 259 was so wild and crazy that Kurt had to check in from paradise to record this episode!
The boys talk Jan’s upset win over Israel Adesanya. We are ALL IN on Glover vs Jan 2021. Oh and by the way, Adesanya has plenty left to take care of at 185.
In the co-main event Amanda Nunes does what she does. Is there anything left for her? The female 🐐 further legitimizes her already impressive legacy.
Aljamain Sterling wins the title by DQ. Such a shame because that fight was so good up until that point. Kurt and Ben both have a TON to say about this one.

The boys are once again joined by Bob Voss for a gambling preview of the epic UFC 259. Is Adesanya too small for Blachowicz? Does Megan Anderson stand a chance against Amanda Nunes? Where's the value in the incredibly close Aljamain Sterling vs. Petr Yan fight?

Elsewhere, we've got plenty of bangers to break down. Frankie Edgar and Cory Sandhagen. The UFC debut of Manel Kape. Carlos Diego Ferreira vs. Benny Darius. Oh my!
Kurt and Ben look back at a bonkers UFC 257. Is Dustin Poirier's lightweight resume... the best ever? What's next for Conor McGregor and is it fair to say he's a front-runner? Michael Chandler had maybe the best UFC debut we've ever seen, top to bottom. Lightweight madness everywhere.
Also, the greatest welterweight of all-time, Ben Askren, will be fighting a YouTube guy.
The boys are joined once again by Bob Voss of the MMA for Money Show for a gambling preview of UFC 257. Conor McGregor is a relatively big favorite over Dustin Poirier, but is that right? Is there any value on Michael Chandler as a small underdog? Favorite parlay pieces, props, and more!

Next, a look ahead to UFC Fight Island 8: Why is Neil Magny vs. Michael Chiesa so darn difficult to predict?
Finally, the boys give a thorough analysis of the UFC 257 main event contest between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier. Who has improved more since their first encounter? Will the lay-off affect McGregor? Is Poirier's durability slipping? Most importantly, how does this fight play out?

The boys recap a surprisingly entertaining final UFC card of the year. What's next for Stephen Thompson following a dominant victory over Geoff Neal? And what's next for elite bantamweights Jose Aldo and Rob Font? And after ending his contract on a win, where could Anthony Pettis land in free agency?
As we close out 2020, Kurt and Ben look forward to 2021 and give their holiday wishlist. What fights do they want in 2021, and will Santa deliver the violence or a lump of coal?
UFC 256 delivered the goods, plain and simple.

Kurt and Ben are joined Jeremy Herriges, whose prolific work on boxing can be found on FanSided.com/boxing, to discuss all things sweet science. What's next for Mike Tyson? What's the deal with all the YouTubers in boxing? Can we expect to see Terrence Crawford in a big fight in 2021? How awesome is the lightweight division right now (it's very awesome)? Everything you need to know about boxing in 2020.
Mike Tyson and Roy Jones, Jr. got into a real(ish) fist fight in 2020 and it somehow didn't make us sad. The boys recap what felt like a surprisingly successful novelty PPV featuring YouTube stars and men in their 50s. What a year it has been.
In MMA, the UFC keeps trucking along. Did Anthony Smith save his UFC career with a first-round stoppage of Devin Clark? How good is Miguel Baeza? And why is Jack Hermansson vs. Marvin Vettori -- an excellent fight -- just so difficult to predict?
Kurt and Ben recap a busy weekend in MMA. Deiveson Figueiredo finished a credible challenger in under two minutes, and in violent fashion. Could he be a star at flyweight? Valentina Shevchenko dominated in typical Valentina Shevchenko fashion. Who are here credible challengers?
And on the Bellator side of things, AJ McKee impressed with yet another stoppage victory, setting him up for what could be the best fight outside of the UFC against Patricio Pitbull.
Elsewhere, Curtis Blaydes will need to mind his P's and Q's against a dangerous Derrick Lewis; Kayla Harrison looked good in her featherweight debut; Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier is officially official, finally.
The boys are joined by Bob Voss of the MMA for Money Show for a quick gambling preview of UFC 255. Underdogs, parlay pieces, prop bets, all in under 20 minutes.
After some healthy complaining about the Bellator commentary team, the boys look back at Patricio Pitbull's knockout victory, Rafael dos Anjos' shellacking of a very game Paul Felder, and wonder about the future of (potentially good?) Khaos Williams.
Looking ahead, the Bellator featherweight grand prix trucks along with maybe the best match-up so far: Darrion Caldwell vs. AJ McKee. And in UFC action, both flyweight belts are up for grabs this weekend, and the guys are all the way pumped for Figueiredo vs. Perez, which should produce fireworks.
With the return of Patricio "Pitbull" Freire and the Bellator Featherweight Grand Prix, it's one of those rare weeks where Bellator out-shines the UFC. We break down Pitbull vs. Pedro Carvalho, as well as an excellent match-up between undefeated welterweights Yaroslov Amosov and Logan Storley. Bellator violence? Bellator violence.
Also, we recap Glover Teixeira's victory over Thiago Santos. It earned him a title shot, right? We discuss.
And in UFC action, Paul Felder steps in on just 5-days notice to square off with Rafael Dos Anjos, in what is actually a pretty interesting fight. How will Felder be effected by the late notice, if at all?
Plenty of facepunching to talk about this week. The boys recap yet another Anderson Silva loss and ask: is this the last we've seen of the legend? What are the most memorable moments of his career, and what exactly made him so special?
In other news, Gegard Mousasi did Gegard Mousasi things, recapturing the Bellator middleweight title with a clean victory over Douglas Lima. What's next for Mousasi and Lima?
Looking ahead, Bellator and the UFC have decent offerings this week, with Corey Anderson's Bellator debut and the UFC giving us what should be a number 1 contender fight at light heavyweight. We break down all the action.
The boys are back to talk Khabib Nurmagomedov's dominant ride into the sunset, recapping his route of Justin Gaethje. With Khabib's retirement, how does the rest of the lightweight division shake out? What fights should be made next? Also, following his win over Jared Cannonier, Robert Whittaker had made a strong statement for a rematch with Israel Adesanya, but will it be any different than their first fight?
Looking ahead, Bellator 250 offers a phenomenal fight between Douglas Lima and Gegard Mousasi, as well as a handful of intriguing match-ups. And on the UFC front this weekend, Anderson Silva is set for what is (maybe) his final fight as he looks to go out on a winning note against Uriah Hall.
On this weeks episode we review what was an action packed weekend that saw Brian Ortega 2.0 return to dominate The Korean Zombie. Cris Cyborg did Cyborg things as usual. Last week we told y’all to keep an eye on the huge boxing event and it did not disappoint as Teofimo Lopez pulled off a HUGE upset over Lomachenko.
UFC254 is here and we are stoked about It! Khabib puts his undefeated record and undisputed title on the line against one of the sports most violent competitors, Justin Gaethje. In the co-main event Robert Whittaker looks to earn a rematch with champion Israel Adesanya as he takes on surging contender Jared Cannonier. We have your full card breakdown right here!
This week we recap an unsurprisingly underwhelming performance from one Michael Venom Page. What's next for a knockout artist that fails to deliver a knockout? In more positive news, Cory Sandhagen did the damn thing in spectacular fashion. And speaking spectacular, did we just see one of the best knockouts... ever?
Look forward, Cris Cyborg returns to action, Brian Ortega and the Korean Zombie will throw down, and Teofimo Lopez and Vasily Lomachenko are set for what feels like the biggest boxing fight in some time.
