1. Nkosi Ndebele has won his trilogy against Shorty Torres! An Unbelievably impressive achievement. Is the UFC next for "King' Nkosi?

- Which African fights in May are you most looking forward to?
- What are the five greatest moments in African MMA history? (could be a whole video dedicated to this really!)
- Thoughts on Losene Keita's performance at Oktagon 57? Rocked badly in the third round, but deserved to get the W. Will he win the Oktagon GP? Will he be the first Guinean born fighter to fight in the UFC?
- Great flyweight fight. Erceg looked really good. Who next for Pantoja and when?
- How about Royval vs Erceg next? Two former title challengers. Let's keep them from knocking off other contenders. Would be a great addition to Perth.
- How about Aspinal vs Pereira for the Interim HW title in Manchester. Winner fights the Stipe/Jones winner?
- Any thoughts on UFC putting on a UK show at 3am? I thought this was a thing of the past... UAE gets local time shows.... UFC London last year was UK time, and espn subsidises all the ppvs anyway right?
- UFC Manchester has been scheduled for the new CO-OP Arena. Have you heard much about the multitude of issues the arena has had? Peter Kay was supposed to be doing a return tour there which was cancelled last minute as the venue wasn't ready, now Take That have just moved their shows to the rival AO arena. Thoughts?
- Gable Steveson has apparently been released by WWE. Will he make the transition to MMA (after the Paris Olympics, if he competes)?

April 07, 2024 UFC Africa Will Never Happen? | Bad week For Manel Kape | TAF Podcast EP 45
How does the team feel about Dricus vs Izzy being targeted for Australia rather than Africa?
Kape has pulled out of the Nicolau bout again. Seems like he can't make it to fight night sometimes. How about book him vs Kai in Australia?
Curtis did well coming off the couch. I thought he was going to get starched by Allen in this rematch. Which of the following would you pick for Allen next:
- Rebook Vettori
- Continue the rematch tour vs Strickland
- Jared/Imavov winner
Rank the UFC 300 fight card in order of excitement.
Any take aways from PFL 1?
The PFL scoring system makes no sense. Two first round KO wins, and a first round KO loss equals 12 points. Three decision wins only equals 9.....
- A way to better this would be 5 points for a win, an a bonus points for a finish in R 1 ,2 or 3. Thoughts?
Great win for Morocco's Salahdine Parnasse at KSW. Will we ever seem him in the UFC?
Any thoughts on Wrestlemania 40?

March 24, 2024 Bad Night For African MMA in UFC | Usman and Saaiman Loss | Youssuf Zalal | EP 44
- USMAN is the greatest Welterweight of all time - Dana White
- Tough month for African MMA! Who would you book Mohammed Usman and Cameron Saaiman against next to get them back in the win column?
- Does anyone else find it difficult to give a single solitary fuck about these Apex shows? I consider myself a hardcore fan, and I just do not care at all about these events....
- Rose defeated No 8 Ranked WFLY. How about finishing the trilogy with Andrade at flyweight? Or, a backup contender fight against Barber?
- Who next for Corey Anderson? Surely, it will be Romero? All the others are in the PFL tournament!
- Personally, I'd like to see him vs Impa, but he's tied up in the tournament. Thoughts?
- Great win for returning Moroccan, Youssuf Zalal. What next for him?
- Predict the next title challenger and when/what UFC PPV number it takes place on:
HW: Jones vs ? - When?
Interim HW: Aspinal vs ? - When?
LHW: Alex vs Jamahal - UFC 300

February 25, 2024 Ngannou Vs Ferriera Highly Unlikely?? | How did you score Impa vs Eblan?? | EP 41
1. Thoughts on Ferriera potentially fighting Ngannou? Has he just Michael Chandler-ed himself? How long will he wait before he gives up on Ngannou?

2. How did you score the Kasanganay vs Eblan?

3. What would you do with Impa next? Rematch for the MW title against Eblan? Face the winner of the LHW title match (Corey Anderson vs Karl Moore)? Re-enter the PFL tournament? Something else?

4. What next for Royval? He lost his title shot 2 months ago, and has already beaten Moreno, Nicolau and Kara-France. Albazi is available but he's the only logical choice for the title shot in May. FLYW seems a bit repetitive at the moment...

5. Buy or sell these fights at FLYW:
- Pantoja vs Albazi (at UFC 301)
- Moreno vs Cejudo (at FLYW)
- Kape vs Kara-France (in New Zealand)

6. Would you book Topuria vs Ortega next? Before last night he had one win in six years....

7. Personally, I'd like Ilia vs Max (win of lose the BMF title) in Spain. Movsar vs Ortega as No 1 contender. Thoughts?

8. Could Belal's association with Palestine be a factor in him not being offered the WW title shot at this time? Could the UFC or Endeavor be concerned about this, what he might say on the mic, or what his fans around the world might do/say in the build up? Full Disclosure, I support the course. Free Palestine!

9. Should the Bellator titles have been on the line at PFL vs Bellator? I enjoyed with the event, but think a lot could have been done to improve it.

10. Which fights in March are you guys most excited about?
