First up, news on Usyk, Bud smashes Avanesyan, and Inoue breaks down Butler: three of boxing's very P4P best have been in the news this week, so I'm leading with them.

Then, Bellator held its bantamweight grand-prix semi finals this week, and the UFC failed to crown a new champ up at 205lbs. Also, Paddy Pimblett: confirmed as absolutely not very good at MMA and Ilia Topuria confirmed as very f'n good at MMA. And of course, tangents and other musings as well.
