Welcome to Friday MK, where Luke and Brian bring you the best reactions, in-depth breakdowns, and expert predictions on all things combat sports! In today’s episode, we’re previewing a packed weekend of fights, including UFC Apex, ONE Championship, and a star-studded boxing weekend. Plus, we dive deep into the ongoing Conor McGregor civil trial and Dana White’s comments on UFC's business ties with politics in the lead-up to the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. 

The UFC Apex card is headlined by a high-stakes welterweight battle between veteran Neil Magny and rising star Carlos Prates. Will Magny, the underdog, continue to defy expectations, or will Prates make a statement in his second UFC outing? We also break down the Reiner de Ridder vs. Gerald Meerschaert middleweight clash, with de Ridder making his long-awaited return to 185 pounds after a six-year hiatus. ONE Championship 169 brings the heavyweight fireworks with Anatoly Malykhin facing off against the explosive Reug Reug. But the drama doesn't stop there—Rodtang, the Muay Thai sensation, missed weight for his flyweight bout and was forced to vacate his title, adding extra chaos to the card. 

It’s a monster weekend for boxing fans with multiple big cards across the globe, as rising stars Keyshawn Davis and Jaron Ennis headline separate cards. 

 Lastly, the guys provide the latest developments in the Conor McGregor civil trial and discuss the legal ramifications for McGregor as it continues. They also react to the Donald Trump winning the US Election.
