The new year starts with bold predictions 🔮

In Episode 30 of The MMA Girl Podcast, we look ahead to the future of the UFC and predict who will be champion in every division—men’s and women’s—by the end of 2026.

With fighters considering:

• Moving up in weight
• Vacating titles
• Leaving the UFC altogether

…the landscape could look VERY different by this time next year.

From dominant reigns to surprise champions, we break down each division and talk through the paths that could lead to UFC gold.

👊 Who do you think ends 2026 as champion?

January is about to set the tone for the UFC’s new era with Paramount+, and it’s coming in HOT 🔥

Before 2025 wraps up, The MMA Girl breaks down everything we know so far about UFC 324 and UFC 325, both going down at the end of January 2026. From stacked title fights to lingering question marks, this month already feels massive.

In this episode:

• 🎁 A quick recap of the combat-sports-themed Christmas gifts I got this year
• 🥊 UFC 324 & UFC 325 previews
  • Thoughts on the cards so far
  • Early reactions to the title fights
• 📅 A look at upcoming fight cards and recent announcements
• ❌ New signings, fight cancellations, and fighters turning down bouts

With the UFC kicking off its Paramount+ partnership, January isn’t just another month—it’s a statement. Let’s talk about it.

Hey fight fans! The MMA Girl here with another episode of the pod! 

A deep dive into the action from this past weekend at UFC Qatar, let’s discuss this incredible card together! 🥊🇶🇦

In this episode, I break down the biggest prelim moments — including lightning-fast submissions and brutal knockouts — plus a quick, sharp look at the main event, where Arman Tsarukyan put on a statement performance and reminded the lightweight division he’s coming for gold. 💥

🇮🇪 Conor McGregor is looking more motivated than ever ahead of his rumoured UFC comeback — and yes, it might be happening at the White House next year! 🏛️🔥

🥇 Rico Verhoeven, Glory’s Heavyweight King, has officially vacated his title amid rumours of a move to MMA. And guess who’s interested? 👀 The UFC. Is a new heavyweight star about to enter the cage?

🤼‍♂️💥 Gable Steveson, Olympic gold medalist and Jon Jones’ protégé, continues to demolish opponents with first-round KOs. Jones claims he’ll be UFC heavyweight champ in 14 months — does Gable have what it takes to steamroll the division?
