This week’s Ringside Report MMA is packed with controversy and major shake-ups! Dave Simon and AJ D’Alesio react to Islam Makhachev being stripped of the UFC lightweight belt and break down what’s next for both the 155 and 170 divisions. Jack Della Maddalena’s win over Belal Muhammad in Montreal has turned the welterweight picture upside down, and Ilia Topuria is now set to face Charles Oliveira for the vacant lightweight title at UFC 317.

We talk ticket price drama, Montreal crowd energy, and who really deserves the next title shots—including the cases for Shavkat Rakhmonov and Arman Tsarukyan. The guys also cover Valentina Shevchenko’s latest title defense, live audience reactions, and the UFC’s wild business moves.

Drop your thoughts in the comments—were the UFC’s decisions the right call? Who do you want to see fight for gold next?

WrestleMania 41 was billed as “The Grandest Weekend in Vegas,” but the Ringside Report crew—Dave Simon, Ben Simon, and champion pro‑wrestler Genesis Johnny North—came out of Night One scratching their heads and out of Night Two yelling at their screens.

Across two post‑show marathons, the trio (joined by live‑chatters on YouTube, Rumble, Twitch, and Kick) graded every bell‑to‑bell moment, roasted the fluff, and loudly disagreed on which matches actually felt like WrestleMania.

Right away, they set the stakes:

• Dave: “Night One felt like TV in a bigger arena… six out of ten—tops.”
• Johnny: “I left satisfied with the main event, but the rest dragged. 6.5 for me.”
• Ben: “Give me three matches that matter, or I’m checking my phone.”

With that bar established, the panel dove into Night Two, hoping for redemption—and got it, at least for the first half. By midnight, they were torn between “match of the weekend” praise for the women’s triple‑threat opener and “worst main event in Mania history” jeers for Cena vs Rhodes. What happened in between became the story of WrestleMania 41.
