Ryan Frederick and Paul Fontaine are back to talk the week that was and is to come in the world of mixed martial arts. In the "we have to talk about" segment, UFC at MSG has a main event and it's a big one. Isreal Adesanya defends the middleweight title against Alex Pereira, the only man to ever knock him out in combat sports. The guys talk about that and speculate on other possible matches for that card, traditionally one of the biggest UFC shows of the year. They then go over a bunch of shows from this past week including the UFC on ESPN which was a historic show with 10 finishes in 10 fights. The main event saw Jamahal Hill solidify himself as a future title contender with a TKO win over Thiago Santos. There were also two Ultimate Fighter winners crowned in Muhammed Usman and Juliana Miller. They then preview the upcoming week's UFC show featuring Dominick Cruz and Marlon "Chito" Vera in a big bantamweight fight in what is really a one match show. They close off by running down some big fights that have recently been made that take us all the way into December as the schedule for the second half of 2022 starts to fill out.
