November 20, 2025 UFC Qatar Breakdown & Picks
🔥 We’re back with a massive midweek episode breaking down everything you need to know about UFC Qatar! From title-shot implications to sleeper fights you can’t afford to miss, we're going deep on the main event, co-main event, and one of the most exciting prospect matchups in the entire Bantamweight division.

We kick things off with Arman Tsarukyan vs Dan Hooker, breaking down why Arman is the heavy favorite on paper, what makes Hooker dangerous in the intangibles, and the exact scenarios that could lead to either man getting the finish. We talk striking accuracy, control time, durability, and how this matchup could determine who gets closer to an eventual shot at Ilia Topuria.

Next, we shift to the co-main event: Belal Muhammad vs Ian Machado Garry. We examine why this fight feels like a No. 1 contender audition for Garry, whether Belal can impose his wrestling-heavy style in a three-rounder, and what happens if this turns into a long-range striking match. We also compare Garry’s growth since the Shavkat fight to Belal’s experience at the highest level.

Then we address the big question: Is Arman overlooking Dan Hooker? After Tsarukyan said he could beat Hooker and come right back in January for a title fight, we discuss whether that mindset is confidence… or a dangerous mistake.

From there, we take a quick detour into a hot topic in MMA: Is Islam Makhachev actually a boring fighter? Spoiler — the numbers don’t lie, and the finish rate speaks for itself.

To close out the show, we break down what we believe could be the people’s main event: Bekzat Almakhan vs Aleksandre Topuria. With both men having only a handful of UFC fights and both being elite blue-chip prospects, we talk striking styles, grappling threats, durability, and why this matchup might steal the entire card.

November 17, 2025 Islam Makhachev Exposes JDM | UFC 322 Recap & Breakdown
🔥 UFC 322 delivered from start to finish, and we’re breaking down everything that went down inside the Octagon! We open with Islam Makhachev’s flawless performance over Jack Della Maddalena, what this win means for the welterweight division, who could be next for the new welterweight champion, and whether it’s time to start considering Islam the GOAT.

Before jumping to the co main event, we take a look at the chaos at 170, including Michael Morales’ huge win over Sean Brady and Carlos Prates’ vicious knockout of Leon Edwards, and how both performances shake up the welterweight title picture moving forward.

From there, we move into the co main event: Valentina Shevchenko vs Zhang Weili. We break down Valentina’s incredible showing, discuss whether she’s officially the GWOAT, explore her possible next opponents, and look at whether Zhang should stay at 125 or return to reclaim her belt at 115.

Next, we cover Benoit Saint Denis vs Beneil Dariush. Not much to dissect, but we discuss BSD’s brutal 16 second KO, why it might be time for Dariush to retire, and whether BSD is next in line for a title shot or needs one more big win.

To wrap things up, we debate the best knockout of UFC 322 and talk about how Dillon Danis may have just ruined any chance of ever fighting in the UFC.

November 10, 2025 UFC 322 Main Card Picks
🔥 UFC 322 might be the most stacked card of the year, and we’re breaking down every fight that matters! We kick things off with the main event: Jack Della Maddalena vs Islam Makhachev. We break down the keys to victory for both, how Jack’s cage control stacks up against Islam’s chain wrestling, and what this fight means for Islam’s legacy if he becomes a two-division champ.

👊🏻 Next up, the co-main event: Valentina Shevchenko vs Zhang Weili. Zhang is moving up in weight to challenge one of the most decorated champions in UFC history, and we break down how her speed, power, and chaos could collide with Valentina’s precision, patience, and elite experience inside the Octagon.

💥 Then we move into Sean Brady vs Michael Morales. A pivotal matchup that pits a rising, undefeated prospect against one of the most complete grapplers in the division. We discuss where the fight could be won or lost, on the feet or the mat, and how each fighter can impose their style.

⚡ After that, we dive into Leon Edwards vs Carlos Prates. A clash of styles between a former champion known for his technical striking and one of the most explosive counter-strikers in the sport. We also look at whether Leon’s underrated wrestling and takedowns could be a key factor here against a dangerous power puncher like Prates.

🤼 To close out the main card, we break down Benoit Saint-Denis vs Beneil Dariush. Two of the most skilled and dangerous grapplers in the lightweight division. We examine their strengths, transitions, and where the momentum could swing late in the fight.
