Jeremy Finestone and Steven Conway are back with a new episode of Speaking of Strong Style! Steven and Jeremy talked about the Keiji Muto retirement card and how the New Japan crew of Kazuchika Okada, Tetsuya Naito, Hiromu Takahashi and Taiji Ishimori swept the top matches. Was this card actually good for NOAH, or did it make it look minor league? Or is there a long-term plan in mind? They also broke down Battle in the Valley, including Mercedes Mone's debut against Kairi, Okada's match with Hiroshi Tanahashi and why it was an honor just to see it in person, David Finlay's heel turn, Jay White's New Japan good-bye against Eddie Kingston, Zack Sabre Jr.'s title defense against Clark Connors and KENTA's NJPW Strong title win. The pair also previewed Fantastica Mania and the upcoming anniversary show, and plunged into the history of Keiji Muto with a look at his early days in NJPW. It's one-stop shopping for all you need to know about New Japan!

Ryan Frederick and Paul Fontaine are back to go over the week that was and is to come in the world of MMA. UFC had a forgetful show this past weekend from the Apex and the guys break it all down. Erin Blanchfield cementing herself as a flyweight title contender was really the only thing of note from that show. There's a busy weekend of MMA coming up and Paul runs down all the shows available on various streaming platforms before going over the UFC on ESPN+ show, again coming from the UFC Apex. Two big fights are of the card with Ryan Spann facing Nikita Krylov and Andre Muniz going up against Brendan Allen. There's a lot of other interesting fights as well and both Ryan and Paul give three fights to watch. The question of the week comes from Mike Gilbert of Brace for Impact and it's whether or not Ariel Helwani is a good MMA reporter. There's also some news on The Ultimate Fighter, Bellator's return to Hawaii, a return to the Octagon for Henry Cejudo and much, much more.
