'My World' by O.C - 1997

UFC on ESPN+ 39 brings October to a close and this Halloween card definitely has some monster action!

Three fights that standout are Greg Hardy vs Maurice Greene, two heavyweights, both with something to prove!

The Co-main is going to be something special, Bryce Mitchell vs Andre Fili. Two young cats looking to put on that standout display. Will it be the Alpha Male or the Jiu Jitsu Thug?

AND the main event could be a changing of the guard, the old master Anderson Silva vs someone who was thought to be the heir apparent and now feels it's his time to fulfil those proclamations, Uriah Hall!

So, let's preview the upcoming action with today's (ep. 102) @ChinCheckPod

- UFC on ESPN+ 39: Hall vs. Silva

'Drop It Like It's Hot' (feat. Pharrell Williams) by Snoop Doggy Dogg - 2004

UFC was spectacular, and NFL some crazy Sunday games!

You gotta say UFC 254 was the perfect end to this second run on Fight Island.

The displays of skill we got to witness were exceptional! There was no doubt that Casey Kenney vs Nathaniel Wood was 'fight of the night'! Super close (no matter what that one judge thought) and action packed.

Standout performances from some debut fighters! Miranda Maverick's step in elbows were disgusting. Definitely let the division know her name! Shavkat Rakhmonov didn't even break a sweat and Phil Hawes channeled Nelly Furtado and turned out the lights, turned out the lights

Tai Tuivasa stopped the slide in sensational style, what an uppercut. Magomed Ankalaev made it known that the first win was how it should have been. Lauren Murphy seized the day and maybe a title shot.

THEN, Alexander Volkov served up the second consecutive debilitating body shot finish. Robert Whittaker showed his experience and survived a last dash scare to maybe earn that rematch.

AND, what can you say about Khabib Nurmagomedov. Truly one of the most dominating forces we have EVER seen step inside that octagon. Mad class and loved the respect to Joe Silva.

There's also some NFL recap and today's (ep 101) @ChinCheckPod breaks it all down, so let's get with it!

- NFL: Week 7: Sunday Games

- UFC 254: Khabib vs. Gaethje
