You guys and gals are in for a real treat this episode, some of our finest work watching terrible fights so you don’t have to. It’s only Zane and Connor, as Phil was off stocking up on coal. Today’s triumvirate of terrible features some truly awful contests. Consider yourself forewarned.

UFC 307 wasn’t a terrible card for the most part. Yes, we loved Pe…

UFC Tampa saw a night of action with several knockouts dotting the card, but the satisfaction of watching Colby Covington get worked over like Christmas dinner was undeniable. Having the last four fights all end by knockout was pretty gnarly too. And Cub Swanson, you’re never gonna go out on a higher note than that. Considering how bad the alternative f…

*Note: There were some technical difficulties with this episode, specifically with mic feedback. We addressed it as best we could. At around the 23 minute mark we managed to correct it to a much more significant degree. Our apologies for the mishap.

UFC Tampa is a clear indicator that UFC is ready to be done with 2024 and they’ve gifted their fans with a…

UFC 310 has played out in reality and just as we thought, Kai Asakura couldn’t stand up to the Cannibal test, opting instead to take a nap on the job. Shavkat Rakhmonov got a lot more resistance from Ian Machado Garry than he bargained for, and we got to see some of the most egregious judging in recent memory with Volkov-Gane. The undercard also bore witness to more questionable judging in the Sterling-Evloev fight, but alas, what can we do?

Let’s take a look at the results and bonuses:

UFC 310 is a great card from top to bottom with only a couple fights that may end up not delivering the action we once got from them—looking at you Chris Weidman vs. Eryk Anders. But that’s a little further down the card. We’re focusing on the main card action and there’s plenty of it.

At the top of the bout sheet is the title fight between reigning cham…

Tony Ferguson’s career plummet has concerned fans for years, but perhaps it’s his “champ shit” mindset that confounds everyone the most. Or maybe it’s a complete misunderstanding of his place in the MMA space. Another point of consternation for most analysts is the inability to change his game.

Whatever the case may be, his downfall is illustrated in the…

UFC Macau is what a card looks like when some effort is applied. There is a wide variety of upside points to be appreciative of. From the debuts to the fact we get to watch Cong Wang and everything in between, the event is matched to deliver fireworks.

At the top of the bout sheet in the main event spot is the terrific pairing of Petr Yan and Deiveson Fi…

UFC 309 is officially history, and likely Mickey Gall is too. Jon Jones still reigns supreme and Michael Chandler got the absolute brakes beat off him for 22 minutes, then did what he always does: rally as hard as he can for naught. Karine Silva F’d around and found out and Bo Nickal bored us all to tears.

Did I mention Donald Trump and several of his ca…

Madison Square Garden is the location of what could be Jon Jones’ last stint at heavyweight. To hear him tell it, the fans really want him to fight the likes of Derrick Lewis or Jamahal Hill rather than the heavyweight interim belt holder. It’s not like that belt wasn’t basically set up to mark the next person to challenge for the undisputed belt or any…

*Note: Eddie is out again this week with his high seas adventures.

The card that should’ve been left an unfulfilled dream on Sean Shelby’s pillow is over and with it, Neil Magny’s hopes of hanging on to that Number 15 ranking. It was pretty much a foregone conclusion, but watching it in practice was kind of sad. Reinier de Ridder showed out in his debut, defeating Gerald Meerschaert in a wild brawl that saw the UFC vet arm-triangled in the third round.

Did the card have its moments? It sure did, and plenty of them. Were the majority of fights on this card consequential to rankings movement? No, they weren’t. What’s the point of being the biggest promotion in the world if your events are on par with regional level shows? But I digress.
