We recap all the chaos from our trip to Sydney for UFC 325, including Volk snagging Fight of the Night, Lopes somehow fighting through busted feet, and solid showings from Salkilid and Ruffy. We run through the matchups (no complaints here), chat about Volk’s shoulder drama according to his coach, and preview Bautista vs Oliveira on the upcoming Fight Night.
There’s also a stack of fight announcements to get stuck into: DDP vs Allen, Prates vs JDM, Reyes vs Walker, Moicano stepping in against Ribovics after Ortega pulled out, and a look at what the UFC London card’s shaping up like.
On the news front, we cover everything from Patchy Mix getting released, Shavkat being injured again (shock), Craig Jones’ DUI, and some absolute nonsense at the scales. There’s talk about Hooker’s name getting butchered on Paramount+, an old-school Mike Tyson yarn, DC and Jones apparently never being mates, and Ruffy confirming he’s fighting at the Fighting Nerds show. We also hit on Nick Diaz backing himself for a title run, some spicy comments from JWP.
Bam Bam wanting to train with Khamzat (I wish he would) and why we’re weirdly keen to watch this RAF card.
Bit of fight chat, bit of gossip, bit of nonsense, standard MMA week really.
