On this episode of Weighing In, Josh Thomson breaks down the massive bantamweight showdown between Umar Nurmagomedov and Song Yadong in Shanghai.

Umar enters as the No. 3-ranked bantamweight and former title challenger, while Song is ranked No. 6 and fighting in front of his home crowd. The UFC has positioned this as a critical fight in the race for the next title opportunity.

Can Umar use his world-class wrestling and grappling to control Song, or can Song's speed, power and striking create the upset?

There's also the bigger question: Is Umar one win away from another UFC title shot? After falling short against Merab Dvalishvili, Umar has rebounded with two straight wins and now has a massive opportunity to put himself right back in the championship conversation.

Josh breaks down the matchup, the keys to victory for both fighters, the bantamweight title picture and what the winner should get next.

🔥 Umar Nurmagomedov vs Song Yadong. UFC Shanghai. Title implications.

Who wins—and who should get the next title shot?

Is Umar Nurmagomedov feeling the pressure of carrying one of the biggest names in MMA?

On this episode of Weighing In, Josh Thomson and the crew dive into the expectations surrounding Umar Nurmagomedov as he continues his pursuit of UFC gold.

The Nurmagomedov name carries enormous weight in MMA. Khabib established himself as one of the greatest fighters ever, while Umar's brother Usman has also become a champion-level fighter. Umar has had to build his own legacy while constantly being compared to the family members who came before him.

Umar has already reached the UFC title picture, but after falling short against Merab Dvalishvili, the road back to championship gold comes with even more pressure.

Is Umar trying to live up to the Nurmagomedov name—or is the pressure of the family legacy actually making his journey harder?

Josh breaks down Umar's career, his expectations, his championship potential and what it takes to step out of the shadow of Khabib and the Nurmagomedov legacy.

👇 Do you think Umar will become a UFC champion? Let us know in the comments!

On this episode of McCarthy Monday, Big John McCarthy and Josh Thomson break down the Nevada State Athletic Commission's crackdown on UFC fighters climbing or leaving the cage after their victories.

Following UFC 329, Max Holloway, Paddy Pimblett and Gable Steveson are facing disciplinary hearings after their post-fight celebrations. Their purses have been withheld pending the hearings.

And Daniel Cormier isn't holding back, calling the rule “the most ridiculous rule in mixed martial arts” and arguing that fighters should be allowed to celebrate the biggest moments of their careers.

But is the Nevada commission actually justified?

Big John brings his experience as a former referee and longtime authority on MMA rules to explain why the rule exists, where the safety concerns come from, and whether the commission is taking things too far.

Josh and Big John also discuss the difference between dangerous behavior inside the cage and harmless emotional celebrations after a fight, and whether there should be some common-sense discretion when it comes to enforcing these rules.

The commission's concerns aren't completely without precedent—the infamous UFC 229 Khabib Nurmagomedov–Conor McGregor brawl showed how quickly fighters leaving the cage can create chaos. But does that justify punishing fighters who simply climb the cage after a win?

Should fighters be fined for celebrating—or should the commission use some common sense?
