Righto, big episode this week, we’re unpacking all the chaos from UFC 318. Full recap of the card, including the post-fight presser, where things got a bit spicy.

Vettori vs Allen copped Fight of the Night (fair call?), and we give props to the POTN winners: Carli Judice, Areba Gautier, and Islam Dulatov — all with cracker performances.

Bit of drama too — Dana reckons he “can’t risk” putting Jon Jones in a big spot again. We get into that, plus a quick preview of this weekend’s UFC Fight Night with Rob Whittaker taking on Reinier de Ridder in a tasty main event.

Grab a cold one, settle in, and let’s talk fights. Like, follow, and give it a rating if you're keen.

Righto legends, this week’s ep is a ripper. We’re breaking down the Lewis vs Teixeira card, which honestly delivered big time. Couple of quick stoppages but all in all, solid night of fights.

We chat
• POTN bonuses for Kline and Walker
• FOTN goes to Nate and Morgan, absolute war
• Trump pops into the cage post fight to chat with Derrick Lewis (yep, that happened)
• Dana hints Lewis could be one fight away from a title shot
• That stoppage, yeah, bit quick if you ask me

Now here’s the big one. Dana’s cooking up a PPV card at the bloody White House. Not joking. Crew has already inspected the site, planning layouts, even looking at construction. Says it will be the best card ever. Don’t hold your breath on a lineup though, too far out. Also, some goose asked if Dana’s now open to stadium shows. His answer, “No.” Classic.

Elsewhere
• Merab vs Sandhagen locked in
• UFC Perth officially on for September 28
• Neal vs Prates incoming
• Dana helped Askren with a surprise moment
• Bunch of MMA news: Yoel to BKFC, Mike and Conor at it again, Jon Jones finding his fire, and Poatan looking like a Marvel villain
• B Team falling apart, Craig Jones leaving
• DP walking out with Lil Wayne
• Weekly Piestrong punts (non PPV bets that could snag ya a lazy greenback)
• No more boxing PPVs

Also… Brazilians still can’t win a main event this year. Madness.

Tuck in, hit play and let’s rip into it.

Oi legends—massive ep this week. We’re teeing up a full preview of the big banger between Derrick Lewis and Glover Teixeira. Yeah, we know… weird matchup, but we’re here for it.

Plenty happening outside the cage too—Merab might finally get Sandhagen, Tom Aspinall vs Gane is locked in, Edwards vs Morales is official, and Paul Craig’s heading back to light heavy. We’ve even got Royal vs Moreno 3 for Noche UFC, and a cheeky Ortega vs Aljo scrap coming too. Fights dropping left, right, and centre.

Then we dive into a bunch of MMA headlines and pure chaos from the week:

• Bo Nickal making waves

• Paddy getting title shot whispers (seriously?)

• Khabib reckons Herb saved Conor

• DC’s dropping kegs

• Max Holloway confirms he’s done at 145

• Jake Paul out here giving Ben Askren 500k for surgery…

• Oh, and Conor wants a fight at the White House (classic)

We finish off with a quick look at the betting side—bit of a rough card, but a few sneaky punts from Piestrong including Valter Walker by sub, Jake Matthews as a dog, and Wonderboy with a shot.

Buckle up, it’s a proper mixed bag this week. Let’s get stuck in.
