MMA On Point - Podcast

MMA isn't exactly what you would consider a very forgiving sport, but sometimes, the stars just seem to align and with only a single things not only reverse, but perhaps could go better if you had full control of things. These are the most perfectly timed MMA/UFC wins ever.

The UFC has created a lot of enemies over the years, but none perhaps closer to their brand publicly than their own commentators. These are the times the commentators got into it with either Dana themselves, the UFC policies and on many occassions meant they were let go from their position.

The heavyweight division in the UFC and around the world is a total disaster. The whole debacle begs the question, is it time to go back to the era before testing to save MMA heavyweights or is the solution something else?

Commissions in MMA/UFC are the absolute worst. Why aren't these fights overturned already? Bad ref calls, actually cheating with PEDs or flopping. These fights should be overturned immediately, but we know they won't.

Weight cutting is a forever problem it seems in MMA and while many think the solutions are simple, the truth is, it's about as hard to stop as cheating on tests in high school. These are the fighters who stepped on the scale and missed in the most dramatic way possible, nearly falling off the stage in the process.

Big money opportunities come for few people in this industry and that's what makes it so baffling when it gets totally fumbled by those presented with it. From Francis Ngannou to Jon Jones and even Money Moicano, it happens all the time in MMA.

UFC 325 had some really great moments and finishes throughout the card. Ruffy over Fiziev, BSD over Dan Hooker and some not so great. Chief of the worst was just the booking in the main event, Diego Lopes vs Alexander Volkanovski looked like Lopes vs Volk 1. It was a dominant performance the first time and it was only 9 months ago. What was even the point?

Who is the next big talent in the UFC? Or how about the next big star? Both of these may be answered in today's video as we jump into the most hyped prospects for the year in the world's largest MMA promotion.

Giant stars from rival promotions sometimes make a big splash in the UFC, but these stars definitely struggled to that. In fact most of them didn't even get a single win or if they did it was extremely controversial.

UFC 324 was the first Paramount+ and the main event between Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett was just good, it was a fight of the year candidate. Dana White said the numbers were double what they were forecasted. What a fight.
