  • Fighter vs. Writer: Matt Brown Reacts to Paddy Pimblett’s Controversial Win over Jared Gordon; Calls Out Judges for ‘Egregious’ Mistakes

    On the heels of UFC 282 this past Saturday night, The Fighter vs. The Writer returns to react to everything that unfolded including the split draw in the main event and Paddy Pimblett earning a controversial decision over Jared Gordon.

    UFC welterweight Matt Brown joins Damon Martin on the show to react to everything that unfolded at the final pay-per-view card in 2022.

    Brown will give his opinion on Pimblett’s performance with many believing he should have left UFC 282 with a loss rather than a win. Where does Pimblett go from here and what are his long term prospects in the UFC?

    According to Brown, Pimblett should probably stay far away from anyone inside the top 15 rankings at lightweight because he doesn’t believe the results would be good for the always outspoken fighter from Liverpool, England.

    Brown will also give his thoughts on a number of surprising scorecards handed out by the judges at UFC 282 and why there needs to be a lot more accountability for judging in the sport.

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

  • On To the Next One | Matches To Make After UFC 282

    After a finish-filled 10-fight start at UFC 282, the final two bouts were the only to go to the judges' scorecards where controversy reigned supreme — leading to a light heavyweight division still not having an official UFC champion. With Dana White putting a new championship bout on the books for UFC 283, where do Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev go from here?

    On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee attempt to answer that question from a matchmaking perspective. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Paddy Pimblett following his heavily debated decision win over Jared Gordon in the co-main event, Santiago Ponzinibbio, Dricus Du Plessis after his stoppage win over Darren Till, breakout star Ilia Topuria, and more.

        • HOAM | Is It Do-Or-Die For Darren Till At UFC 282?

          Darren Till returns to the octagon for the first time in well over a year when he faces Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 282. With just one victory in five appearances, is Till in a must-win situation on Saturday night in Las Vegas?

          On an all-new edition of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck discusses what is at stake for Till against Du Plessis, and how the one-time title challenger matches up. Additionally, listener questions include Paddy Pimblett at the UFC 282 press conference, if a fight between Pimblett and Ilia Topuria would make sense next regardless of what happens on Saturday, where the winner of the matchup between Topuria and Bryce Mitchell could go at 145, the Bellator 289 main card compared to the UFC's, 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.

            • HOAM | UFC's Response To Betting Scandal, Reaction To T.J. Dillashaw's Retirement

              The ongoing story regarding James Krause and UFC gambling seems as if it's only going to get worse before it gets better.

              On an all-new edition of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck discusses the UFC's response in regards to Krause's suspension in Nevada, and no longer allowing fighters who even train with Krause to compete for the promotion pending the results of investigations. Additionally, listener topics include the retirement of T.J. Dillashaw, whether or not a Stephen Thompson vs. Conor McGregor fight makes sense following an entertaining victory for "Wonderboy" at UFC Orlando, Sergei Pavlovich's ceiling at heavyweight, Bellator 289, and more.
