In Episode 21 of Crosswalk, Jax and Cross unpack a wild weekend across the sports world.

• UFC 321 Fallout: Tom Aspinall vs. Ciryl Gane ends in a no contest — was it bad luck or did Aspinall quit? Plus, Mackenzie Dern finally captures gold and Islam Makhachev makes headlines again.

• NFL Chaos: The Cowboys fall apart while the Colts continue to surprise.

• College Football Shakeup: Texas sneaks up on Mississippi State, Alabama narrowly escapes South Carolina, and LSU moves on from Brian Kelly.

• NBA Update: Victor Wembanyama looks like an early MVP contender, Luka Dončić is already banged up, and the Mavericks look lost just weeks into the season.

The guys break down what it all means — from the Octagon to the gridiron to the hardwood — and debate who’s rising, who’s fading, and what’s next.

This week on Crosswalk, the sports world went off the rails — and we’re here for all of it.

🏈 We kick things off with a wild NFL Sunday that saw the Broncos pull off a historic comeback, underdogs keep winning, and a league that suddenly has no clear favorite.

🎓 Then we dive into college football’s coaching carousel — from Billy Napier’s firing at Florida to Penn State and Arkansas joining the shake-up — and rank the Top 5 job openings in the country.

🥊 Next, it’s on to UFC 321, where Tom Aspinall faces Ciryl Gane, Volkov meets Almeida, and Mackenzie Dern vs Virna Jandiroba headlines a sneaky-stacked card.

⚾ We close with ALCS Game 7 and the road to the World Series — Blue Jays vs Mariners for a trip to face L.A. — plus a “Baseball Game for Your Soul” draft you won’t want to miss.

🎙 Subscribe, drop your takes, and join the conversation — from the gridiron to the octagon to the diamond.

Week 2 of College Football is in the books—who’s standing out, and can we really tell anything this early? Then we pivot to the NFL, where Week 1 delivered breakout performances, major flops, and plenty of overreactions.

From there, we head to MMA: the fallout from UFC Paris—has the aura faded for the Fighting Nerds? And with UFC Noche (Diego Lopes vs. Jean Silva) this weekend, is this what fans should expect from Noche cards going forward?

Finally, we close with boxing’s megafight: Terence Crawford vs. Canelo Álvarez. A true historic clash with legacy, undisputed glory, and $200M stakes on the line.

Join us for Episode 15 of Crosswalk—where sports collide, legacies are debated, and no take is too hot.

Jax is joined by Crossover MMA to break down the aftermath of UFC 313, including Alex Pereira’s surprising loss to Magomed Ankalaev. Did Ankalaev’s game plan neutralize Pereira’s offense, or was this just an off night for the former champ? We discuss fight scoring, rematch possibilities, and whether Pereira should consider a move to heavyweight.

Plus, we dive into the lightweight division shake-up, Ilia Topuria’s future, and whether the UFC truly has a superstar problem. Is the promotion struggling to build new stars, or does Dana White’s presence make superstars unnecessary?
