Chin Check

Well, people, 'UFC 330' is in the bag and I think it's fair to say, we got answers to things, but also a lot of other things did not necessarily go how ya thought, they might! Either way though, Philadelphia came out hard, and celebrated harder!!!

It was eventful, out of 12 fights, only four went the distance. Which makes for a pretty fire night, right? Eight stoppages, all very different, and it's hard to say which was more devastating...Jalin Turner's 39 second KO or Charles Johnson's 3rd round Scottish Twister. Cause, frankly, who would want to be caught in that, right!?!

Let's go over all the craziness on our @ChinCheckPod (ep 348) 'recap', and look back on all those moments from 'UFC 330: Makhachev vs Machado Garry'!!!

Well, people, we got a new look Meta Apex, and some great fights that really lit the place up!!! Questions got answered f'sure on Saturday night, in a BIG way! There were also some exceptional performances from rising talent!

Seven fights finished within the allotted timeframe, but even the ones that went the distance were crazy entertaining! The opening fight between Gigi Canuto & Carol Foro a really fun way to kick things off. Foro looked like a real problem, but Canuto also had a great second round and showed that she's gotta tons of scoop. And Alexia Thainara has showwoman / star written all over her!!! Miles Johns & Juliana Miller were able to get back on track, which was great to see. And it would seem Ty Miller has a wealth of ability!

Our 'Headline Fight' really cemented the fact that Quillan Salkilld is going to be a divisional nightmare. And who isn't wondering how soon he could become a title challenger is a liar!!! All of this and more we get to relive on @ChinCheckPod (ep 346)! So, are you ready for our 'recap' of 'UFC Fight Night: Gamrot vs Salkilld'!?!

Holy Smokes, right!!! The UFC hit Serbia for the first time and the Belgrade Arena may never be the same again!!!

We saw records drop left, right, and centre, the most first round finishes EVER, with Stephanie Luciano starting things off. And although that wasn't quite the way the crowd wanted things to go, Jovan Leka got things back on track for the home nation! Michael Oliveira may have put on one of the most devastating performances as well! The night also had the most overall finishes, with 12, two ending in the 2nd round. Bogdan Grad's submission and Tofiq Musayev's TKO. And even the two that went the distance were exciting fights!

The night finished with a BANG too, as Navajo Stirling and Uroš Medić had the best nights of their careers so far, with explosive 1st round KO's! Obviously, there is a LOT to cover on today's @ChinCheckPod (ep 344). So hopefully you're ready to recap 'UFC Fight Night: Medić vs Rodriguez'!!!

The anticipation was so high, and even though the end wasn’t what we hoped, ‘International Fight Week 2026’ ended with a fantastic ‘Numbered Event’, that had more bang then anyone could have hoped for!

Although only one of our debuting fighters walked away with a win, John Garza still showed a whole lot of talent, and made it clear, he won't be an easy match for anyone. Then there's Gable Steveson, who definitely lived up to the hype and expectations! With so many finishes on the night, it just felt right that King Green got to walk away with an extra bag! So many fighters have stacked a claim for that next step, Farid Basharat, Brandon Royval, and Mario Bautista all could headline 'Fight Nights' going forward, along with Green!

The BIG winner of the night is undoubtedly Paddy Pimblett, who not only bounced back from his first loss in the promotion, but also let it be known, if you don't respect the skills, see how unconsciousness feels! We cover EVERYTHING on @ChinCheckPod (ep 338), including the dumb, asinine claims regarding the 'Headline bout' from the s'posed legit MMA media. So enjoy the recap of 'UFC 329: McGregor vs Holloway 2' in all its glory!!!
