On this episode of The Stand Up Guys, Pat and Edge cover a packed stretch of combat sports across boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing, and ONE Championship. The show opens with two things we want to be clear about up front: first, this is not a podcast that wants to turn drug testing into a weekly segment — but when the inconsistency becomes impossible to ignore, it has to be addressed. Second, Pat gives Edge a synopsis of GLORY Collision 8 after watching the entire event...

We briefly touch on the latest drug-testing contradictions — with Subriel Matias vs Dalton Smith allowed to continue while Janibek Alimkhanuly is not — before moving into a broader discussion on Terence Crawford and the WBC, using the situation as a clear example of the gap between what sanctioning bodies claim to be and how they actually function.

The episode also covers the sentencing of GLORY heavyweight Jamal Ben Saddik, who received a four-year prison sentence related to a kidnapping connected to drug trafficking at the Port of Antwerp — an unavoidable and serious moment for the kickboxing world.

From there, Pat and Edge discuss TKO’s first announced card scheduled for January 23, 2026 — which may or may not actually be happening, along with impressions from Fight Night IV at Tech CU Arena, before moving into a full slate of fight reviews.

The episode includes a breakdown of ONE Fight Night 38 (12/5/25), highlighted by Phetjeeja’s explosive first-round knockout of Martyna Dominczak and a competitive strawweight bout between Aliff and Ramadan Ondash.

From RWS (12/6/25), Sha Ma vs Oscar Fonseca is reviewed, with Fonseca overcoming point deductions to secure a dominant third-round stoppage.

Pat and Edge also review Jai Opetaia vs Huseyin Cinkara (12/6/25), as Opetaia methodically breaks down a tough and durable opponent before finishing the fight in the eighth round.

The show covers PBC action from December 6, including Shane Mosley Jr vs Jesus Ramos Jr, Erislandy Lara vs Johan Gonzalez, O’Shaquie Foster vs Stephen Fulton, and Isaac Cruz vs Lamont Roach.

From ONE Friday Fights 136 (12/12/25), the episode highlights a trio of first-round knockouts, including Hiroyuki’s complete domination of Petdam, along with emphatic finishes by Ichrak Laroussi and Kraithong.

The heavyweight clash between Murat Gassiev and Kubrat Pulev (12/12/25) is also reviewed, with Gassiev scoring a sudden and devastating sixth-round knockout.

The episode wraps up with DAZN’s Stockton card (12/13/25), including Joe Cordina’s decision win over Gabriel Flores Jr and Diego Pacheco’s hard-fought victory over Kevin Sadjo.
