  • Ep. 97 - Ronda Rousey ís the new salt BAE
    Mar 19 2026

    Big episode this week as we break down everything from UFC Emmett vs Vallejo. Plenty to get through with some heavy KOs, slick subs and a few proper brawls that could end up in the fight of the year conversation. We also go over the main takeaways from the post fight presser.

    We then look ahead to Evloev vs Murphy. We run through the card, give our locks and talk about why the main event feels pretty straightforward on paper. UFC London is shaping up nicely too with seven undefeated fighters on the card so there is a lot of young talent to keep an eye on.

    On the bigger topics this week
    MVP making moves in MMA, Ronda Rousey having a crack at Hunter, and some interesting fights getting added with Diaz vs Perry and Steveson vs JDS. We also ask the question, should the UFC actually be worried?

    We also get into the whole influencer crossover with fighters. The Paul brothers, Deen The Great and where it all fits in the sport.

    Then there is more footage from that Russian TUF style show. DC nearly walking away from Team Alpha Male and honestly we are still trying to work out what is going on with it.

    We round things out with fight announcements including Dariush vs Salkilled, plus all the latest news. Harry Hardwick dealing with a rough injury, the talk around that White House card, Alex Pereira locking in an eight fight deal, Jake Paul teasing another fight, and Anderson Silva saying he is close to signing on for a belt fight.

    Plenty going on this week so settle in.
