MMA On Point - Podcast

Alright... the big Paramount debut is here. The only question is... where is Dana White? Has he just kinda given up? We think so. The guy has way too much going on and this whole UFC/MMA promotion game now feels like a side quest to him.

The UFC's PPV has officially ended as we now enter into the Paramount Era. So the question has to be asked... was the PPV era good? How well has it aged and what shows are still worth going back to watch now?

It seems some fighters, no matter how many times they lose, just seem to keep coming back and if it were up to them, they would never leave. Who could blame them? This is their career. At some point however, you would expect the UFC to cut them lose after their glory years are clearly long gone.

Here comes the big return of a former UFC champion. Do they set the division on fire or do they run into a brick wall? Well in short, these guys all had a ton of momentum and crashed a top speed.

There are seemingly a billion facts about MMA we could talk about on this channel that we never have or wrinkles to stories we've never covered on this channel over years of being around. Here are 50 useless facts about MMA.

We've gone through some pretty tough times in the UFC's biggest divisions recently. So it has to be asked, are we are currently in the worst eras at heavyweight or women's bantamweight for instance? And that prompts another question.. what WERE the worst eras in these divisions if not? And what was the best?

A bunch of awards on the line this year. Who wins fighter of the year? Who wins KO or submission of the year? Lots of different categories and some incredibly stacked ones at that. Who wins?

With the UFC and the paramount era upon us, there is perhaps no greater opportunity than 2026 to put together some of the biggest fights with more eyes watching it than ever before. There are a lot of hurdles for these fights, but to us are the clear best options to maximize on this new era. What are your must see fights for 2026?

The UFC has put on thousands of fights over the years and have no doubt have been unhappy with at least a few of those results, but when it comes to these fights, well they were downright embarrassed and some even got Dana White to threaten to leave press conferences.

So few fighters have been let go from the UFC and despite high profile wins with a fan friendly style and popularity been refused rentry into the UFC ranks. Paul Daley was one such rare where the wrong place at the wrong time paired with an awful decision meant only about 5 seconds had him literally banned for life.
