Ahead of his meeting with Tyson Fury, the boxing world ridiculed Francis Ngannou’s involvement in what they believed was a “gimmick” fight. Now, with the Anthony Joshua clash booked, Gavan Casey of the42.ie returns to discuss how Ngannou’s knockdown of Fury changed everything and how he could become number one contender to the heavyweight title with a win over AJ. 

Casey also discusses why boxing people have embraced Ngannou and gives his take on Saudi’s involvement in boxing, how it’s become commonplace for events to take place there and how the muted atmosphere of the events could effect the legacy of the bouts that take place in the region.

Petesy gives his take on the UFC Manchester rumours, talk quietening down on UFC Dublin and the highly anticipated UFC 296 press conference on Thursday.

Petesy Carroll is joined by Donagh Corby, Andy Stevenson and Dylan Tuke at 3 Arena to discuss PFL's inaugural Dublin event. 

Corby and Stevenson give their highlights of the night and Tuke talks his successful return to his hometown and being one of the big takeaways from the event. Petesy explains why the rest of the scene, outside of SBG, feel like PFL has become "The SBG Show" and how that may effect the promotion's growth in Ireland.

Ian Machado Garry and his wife/manager, Layla Anna Lee, have been the subject of a social media circus since mid-November. 

Despite their personal life being put under the microscope by sects of the MMA fanbase, Petesy and the king of Irish MMA media, Severe MMA’s Andy Stevenson, discuss whether the online noise could have an impact on his upcoming fight with Vicente Luque, and Garry’s career beyond UFC 296.

Petesy has been catching a lot of flack for being “negative” about PFL Dublin, so to toast the promotion’s arrival on the Emerald Isle, Petesy is joined by the king of Irish MMA media, Severe MMA’s Andy Stevenson, to discuss what they’re most excited about regarding the 3 Arena event. 

The lads discuss a new Finglas hero, Dylan back in Dublin, life changing money on the line for tournament winners, McGrillen magic and much more as they look toward the final leg of PFL Europe.

When Bellator entered the Irish market in 2016, MMA was in a boom period on the back of Conor McGregor’s success in the UFC, which helped the promotion attract the attention of casual sports fans to its 3 Arena events. 

With PFL set to enter the Irish market next week, sentiment for MMA in the country is relatively low with Conor McGregor - the main frame of reference for most Irish people when it comes to the sport - reportedly being investigated for incitement to violence regarding last Thursday’s Dublin riots. 

Petesy also gives his take on the PFL Dublin card and the Ian Machado Garry drama.

Two days after the tragedy that became the catalyst Dublin riots on Thursday, the atmosphere around Katie Taylor’s second headline clash with Chantelle Cameron felt a bit flat. Yet, when all was said and done, the iconic Irish fighter put a smile back on the nation’s face with a spell-binding performance at 3 Arena. 

Leading Irish boxing journalist Gavan Casey of The 42 returns to The Craic to give his thoughts on how the riots became a subplot to the event, Taylor’s ability to produce an immense moment of pride for the Irish despite the calamitous scenes two days before and if her wish to have a trilogy fight at Croke Park could come to fruition.

After his epic promo ahead of their first meeting, legendary Irish journalist Philip O’Connor returns to The Craic to share his feelings on the rematch between Chantelle Cameron and Katie Taylor at Dublin’s 3 Arena on Saturday night. 

O’Connor underlines his belief that Taylor’s homecoming has been mismanaged, how he believes she is rightfully the underdog this time around, how this could be the last time we see the Queen of Boxing compete and ponders whether a win over Cameron would be the biggest victory of her storied career.

Petesy is joined by fighter/wrestler/actor/podcaster/explorer Chris Bungard ahead of his highly anticipated clash with Perry Goodwin at at the near-sold-out Cage Warriors 164 event, which takes place on Saturday in Newcastle. 

Bungard discusses his camp in Las Vegas alongside fellow Leather’d hosts Paul Craig and Ross Cooper, how he feels fighting a week after Craig suffered defeat, taking edibles at Bill Burr and flying to Boston on his rest day. 

Bungard also maps out his MMA career for the next two years and underlines his hopes that finishing Goodwin will give him a prime location on a Cage Warriors Scotland card. He also tries to underline what he will do beyond his fighting career, given his many interests outside of the game, indicating that he may even pursue becoming Marc Goddard’s refereeing protege. 

Also on the show, Petesy looks forward to a big announcement from Donn Davis on The MMA Hour’s Monday show.
