    The UFC's summer run continues as does its international tour as the world's top MMA promotion follows up UFC Singapore with a trip to the City of Light. UFC Paris is headlined by a heavyweight tilt between former interim champion Ciryl Gane and rising contender Sergey Spivak and the No Bets Barred boys are back to break it all down.

    Co-hosts Conner Burks and Jed Meshew kick things off with a brief recap of UFC Singapore before diving into this week's fights. Topics discussed include the a debate on how bad Gane's takedown defense truly is, how Rose Namajunas will look against Manon Fiorot in her flyweight debut, the promise of another French Favorites Parlay, and the looming death rattle of Heavyweight Overs.

    • Fighter vs. Writer: Matt Brown Reacts to Holloway’s Win, Namajunas Debuting at 125, Paul vs. Danis and More

      The Fighter vs. The Writer returns with UFC legend Matt Brown and MMA Fighting senior reporter Damon Martin reacting to the latest news in MMA including Max Holloway’s win over ‘The Korean Zombie’ Chan Sung Jung.

      With his victory at UFC Singapore, Holloway has eliminated yet another top featherweight contender but what will it take for him to get back to a fourth fight against Alexander Volkanovski? Is there anything that Holloway can do to put him over the top for that title shot?

      We’ll also discuss Rose Namajunas making her debut at flyweight at UFC Paris and what kind of chance she has to become a disruptive force in that division where past strawweights have found mixed success.

      Brown addresses the recent win from Oleksandr Usyk and the disappointment that he ended up facing Daniel Dubois instead of a showdown with heavyweight king Tyson Fury.

      Plus we talk about the upcoming boxing match between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis and the chances that Mike Perry ends up taking that fight in October.

      All this and more on the latest episode of The Fighter vs. The Writer

    • HOAM | What's Next For Max Holloway After UFC Singapore Knockout Win?

      Max Holloway picked up his first finish in several years with a third-round knockout of The Korean Zombie in the main event of Saturday's UFC Singapore event. With Alexander Volkanovski still the featherweight champ, and still holding three wins over Holloway, where does "Blessed" go from here?

      On an all-new edition of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck discusses what could be next for Holloway, why a matchup with Ilia Topuria is not the fight to make right now, and whether or not Aljamain Sterling could be an option. Additionally, listener topics include Israel Adesanya's next move should he be successful against Sean Strickland at UFC 293, if Khamzat Chimaev can leapfrog Dricus Du Plessis in the middleweight title discussion, Erin Blanchfield's UFC Singapore win over Taila Santos, Anthony Smith's win over Ryan Spann and what fights make sense for "Lionheart," a quick review of AEW's All-In, and more.

      You can listen live to Heck of a Morning Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 10 a.m. ET on the MMA Fighting Twitter Spaces.

    • DAMN! They Were Good | Celebrating Joanna Jedrzejczyk, The Bogeywoman Of The Strawweight Division

      DAMN! They Were Good celebrates the careers of the most exciting and influential fighters in MMA history and on this episode it celebrates the seminal career of Joanna Jedrzejczyk, the woman who built the UFC's strawweight division.

      After flirting with a comeback earlier this year, Jedrzejczyk ultimately decided against it, officially notifying the UFC of her retirement in August, and as one of the most important and exciting figures in women's MMA history, it's only fitting we send her off properly. Host Jed Meshew is joined by MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Morning Kombat's Brian Campbell to take a deep dive into Jedrzejczyk's singular career and discuss exactly what the woman who dubbed herself "Joanna Champion" means to the history of MMA.

    • Israel Adesanya Slams ‘Idiot’ Sean Strickland Ahead of UFC 293, Admits He’s ‘Rooting’ for Khamzat Chimaev

      Ahead of UFC 293, UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya discusses his upcoming title defense against Sean Strickland and his reaction to Dricus Du Plessis passing on the fight due to a foot injury that prevented him from competing in September.

      Adesanya gives his thoughts on Strickland as an opponent and the wild things he says leading up to his fights. He also addresses where Du Plessis now sits in the pecking order and if he possibly missed out on getting the next title shot by not fighting him at UFC 293.

      Adesanya also addresses the upcoming middleweight fight between old rival Paulo Costa and Khamzat Chimaev, who is making his return to 185 pounds with a chance to jump right into title contention with a win.

      All this and much more in our special interview with Adesanya ahead of UFC 293 in Australia.

    • On To the Next One | Matches To Make After UFC Singapore

      Max Holloway delivered his first finish since stopping Brian Ortega in the fourth round at UFC 231 in December 2018 when he sent all-time action fighter The Korean Zombie into retirement at UFC Singapore with a walkoff knockout. With Alexander Volkanovski still reigning supreme atop the featherweight division, there are still a lot of interesting options for "Blessed," like, perhaps, welcoming a former champion up to 145, or Holloway potentially making a move up to 155.

      On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss what could be next for Holloway following his third-round knockout in the main event of Saturday's card. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Anthony Smith after his split decision win over Ryan Spann, Giga Chikadze after a successful return to the octagon, Erin Blanchfield following a gritty win over one-time title challenger Taila Santos, along with fellow main card winners Rinya Nakamura, Junior Tafa, and more.

      • UFC Singapore Post-Fight Show | Reaction To Holloway's Vicious KO, Korean Zombie's Retirement

        Max Holloway and The Korean Zombie gave fans a thrilling battle in the main event of Saturday's UFC Singapore, and it turned out to be the final one for Chan Sung Jung as he announced his retirement from the sport following a chaotic third round that saw the former featherweight champ pick up his first finish in nearly five years.

        MMA Fighting's Mike Heck, Shaheen Al-Shatti, and Alexander K. Lee react to UFC Singapore, Holloway's vicious knockout win while fighting with a heavy heart, Korean Zombie's legacy as an action fighter and what he meant for the sport. Additionally, they discuss Anthony Smith's win over Ryan Spann in the co-main event, Giga Chikadze's successful return to the octagon in his victory over Alex Caceres, Erin Blanchfield's hard fought win against Taila Santos and if that earned her a title shot, and more.

        • UFC Singapore Preview Show | Is Korean Zombie Being Completely Overlooked vs. Max Holloway?

          Following a memorable UFC 292 event, the UFC returns to Singapore for a sneaky good card, with former featherweight champion Max Holloway taking on The Korean Zombie in the main event of UFC Singapore — which kicks off bright and early on Saturday morning.

          MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew preview this weekend's event, the headliner between Holloway and Korean Zombie, whether or not it will be the final fight for the latter, and what's at stake for Holloway with a victory. Additionally, they'll discuss the co-main event rematch between Anthony Smith and Ryan Spann, the return of Giga Chikadze as he faces Alex Caceres, the high-stakes flyweight bout between Erin Blanchfield and Taila Santos, and more.

          • HOAM | Sean O'Malley vs. Marlon Vera, How Aljamain Sterling & Merab Dvalishvili Factor In Title Picture

            Sean O'Malley vs. Marlon Vera will likely be next in a massive bantamweight title fight after O'Malley's finish of Aljamain Sterling in the main event of UFC 292 this past Saturday in Boston. With the changing of the guard at 135, where does that put the former champion and his teammate Merab Dvalishvili in the title picture.

            On an all-new edition of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck gives his thoughts on the bantamweight divisional championship picture with O'Malley at the top, why Sterling getting a rematch will be super difficult, and how long Dvalishvili may have to wait to get his chance at UFC gold. Additionally, listener topics include the PFL Playoffs main event between Clay Collard and Shane Burgos, Anthony Smith vs. Ryan Spann at Saturday's UFC Singapore event, Erin Blanchfield's ceiling in the flyweight division, the unfortunate passing of wrestling stars Terry Funk and Bray Wyatt, and much more.
