They discuss what’s next for both fighters, from potential rematches to new contenders. The guys also react to Josh Hokit’s instant classic win over Curtis Blaydes, debate whether he’s already a legitimate top-five heavyweight, and weigh in on his quick turnaround into a matchup with Derrick Lewis. Paulo Costa’s long-awaited return and finish at light heavyweight sparks a conversation about whether 205 is his best path forward, while Cub Swanson’s emotional farewell leads to a reflection on legacy and the realities of retirement fights. The episode rounds out with a full UFC 327 recap, including Reyes vs. Walker, Aaron Pico’s statement performance, and notable wins from Kevin Holland, Tatiana Suarez, Mateusz Gamrot, and Vicente Luque. In “Around the Octagon,” the crew hits on Gable Steveson signing with the UFC, upcoming fights, and even debates who belongs on the cover of the next UFC video game. They also preview Fight Night: Burns vs. Malott in Winnipeg, highlighting key matchups and fighters to watch. To close, the hosts share stories from their own careers, revisit Holloway vs. Poirier 2, and play a quick round of Two Truths and a Lie.
