Righto legends, strap in — this week’s ep is an absolute mixed bag of chaos, controversy, and a few proper scraps worth yarning about.We kick things off with a full breakdown of Moicano vs Duncan. Was it a sneaky banger or just another forgettable Fight Night card? We chat through the finishes, the wild moments, and whether any of these fights are worth chucking into KO, sub, or even Fight of the Year conversations. Plus yeah… that dodgy illegal kick — you already know we’ve got opinions. And of course, Moicano absolutely letting rip in the presser, not holding back on what was, let’s be honest, a pretty average card.Then we roll into a preview of UFC 327 — running through the fights, chucking together a cheeky multi, some head-to-head picks, and the ever-dangerous Piestrong Punt. Gamble responsibly… or don’t, we’re not your dad.We also get stuck into some bigger talking points in the fight game right now. Fighters going in busted — how cooked are they really? Merab rocking a freshly smashed nose, Josh Van pulling out of a title fight… makes you wonder how much of this stuff we don’t see.Fight announcements are heating up too, especially with Perth on the horizon. Jack Jenkins getting a run, a few spicy rumours floating around, and the card slowly starting to take shape.Then it’s onto the circus — because let’s face it, MMA outside the cage is just as cooked. Arman running his mouth (again), Jon Jones doing Jon Jones things, Bud Crawford already back, and Tim Tszyu getting the win but wearing some serious damage. Jiri’s out here saying breathing’s a privilege — bloke might actually mean it — and there’s whispers about who’s training with who behind the scenes.We also touch on Strickland stirring the pot with some ridiculous bets, Dana apparently stepping back from negotiations (yeah right), and a few names starting to pop up that you might wanna keep an eye on.Bit of everything this week — fights, drama, rumours, and a fair bit of nonsense. Just how we like it.Let’s go.

We chat fighter pay and whether you really do get out what you put in, plus where things sit with the highest paid guys in the sport. Ariel is back taking shots at Dana again, and fair or not, we look at why Dana doesn’t always help his own case.In the news, Conor says he’s back again, Ali gives an update on Islam and the number one contender picture, and we unpack what really happened with the Ilia situation.
